My friend Lynda lives on the lake and goes out every night to feed the ducks and to snap photos of the setting sun. I couldn't resist painting this one. Love the dramatic design and colors of this one.

Color Garden
8x10 oil on panel
I created this at the Ft Worth Botanical Gardens in Ft Worth. I was thrilled to return here again while the iris garden was in full bloom. I met the volunteers that maintain the gardens. They were proud of their garden and happy to see me painting the fruits of their labor. I was so grateful for this to paint in this wonderful garden.

I was happy to get out and paint during my lunch break this week. The Ft Worth Botanical Gardens are close to work and I try to go by often. It's a great place to walk and get some fresh air. When I saw this garden of color I came back 3 times to paint. It was a refreshing break from my hectic life.

This is inspired from one of my all time favorite painting locations in Benbrook, Texas. The rising sun draped the clouds with warm colorful light and begged me to paint it. I used the brush to lay in the colors and shapes and added texture using the palette knife.

The park near Benbrook lake is my inspiration for this sunrise painting. I drive through the park on my way to work and if I time it right I see the sun come up. The golden hour where the sun cast bright colors everywhere. This was a joy to paint using the palette knife and all these warm colors.

A sky this incredible must be a sign of a good day to come. Big open skies and vast landscape are good for my soul. I hope you fill the joy and appreciation I had just viewing it.

Laura lives across the street from my in-laws in Granbury. While visiting them I noticed her irises blooming. I gathered reference photos and thought about painting this for several years. I'm glad I finally did. This was painted in the studio and painted with a palette knife and lots of colorful paint.
Johnson City Garden

I painted a smaller version of this that sold. This was painted in the studio and painted with a palette knife and lots of colorful paint.
Blue Bonnet Trail
30x24 oil on canvas
This was painted in the studio and inspired from a small plein air painting. I met a group of artist at Fossil Rim in Glen Rose in the Spring. It was a good year for the blue bonnets and plein air painters. This was painted with a palette knife and lots of colorful paint.
Pink Water Lilies
36x18 gallery wrapped canvas
This vibrant water garden grabbed my attention. I knew I wanted to explore the contrasting colors in the lily pads and flowers. I used the palette knife building texture and color creating this soothing landscape.

This is my husband's restored 52 Chevy truck. He came along on a paint out with me and the truck was in the perfect setting. I painted and he waited patiently for me. We love to take the truck out on these little adventures.

Hydrangea Garden
12x16 oil on raymar canvas panel
I try to go to the Ft Worth Botanical Gardens as often as I can to see what is in bloom. The hydrangeas and phlox were glowing in the morning sun on this warm summer day. I painted this with a palette knife and lots of colorful paint.

I am in awe at the amazing color a wonderful sunrise can reveal. Gazing at this warm sunrise is a great way to start the day. #originalart;#oilpainting;#paletteknifepainintg;#sunriseslandscapepainting;artlover;#contemporaryart;#texaslandscape;
20x20 oil on canvas
I created this from a couple of small studies I created at Clark Gardens in Weatherford, Texas. I did ramp up the colors and texture. Combining the warms and cool colors together was a balancing act.
20x16 oil on canvas
I created this with the still-life set up in the sun outside in my garden. The wind was high and it forced the props to shift a bit. It finally evolved into this. We filmed the process so it should be posted on my web site soon.
20x20 oil on canvas
Fresh flowers and a bath towel motivated this still life painting. I set this up outside and usually use the towel to protect the table. It worked with what I had in mind. These fresh flowers are the first to bloom and remind me spring is near.
