Misty Morning24x20 oil on canvas
I was drawn to the coolness of the landscape and the warm morning light. The small creek leads you to the distant hill side. This was created using the palette knife, building texture one layer at a time.

From Amy's Garden
12x9 oil on wood panel
I snagged more of my neighbor, Amy's sunflowers. I set up this still life in the sun. The heat from the sun will melt the flowers, so I worked fast. Pre-mix paints and a palette knife help with the process.

Sunny Ones 11x14 oil on wood panel
I love to change up the surface I paint on and using a wood panel coated with a few layers of gesso is just what I need for a little challenge. My neighbor let me pick some of her sunflowers to create this little still life. I was inspired.

Iris Garden in Bloom 20x24 oil on canvas
I get excited with I see iris flowers in bloom. Their delicate colors and petals remind me of my Mother- in-law. She had a large garden of iris of every color. They lined her front yard and were beautiful. My inspiration for this was from painting at the Ft. Worth Botanical Gardens in the spring time.

Sunrise Poppy Garden12x16 oil on canvas

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.
