Goddess of the Canyon , oil, 9x12" available If you have ever been to the Grand Canyon, then you know what an awesome sight it is! Photos just don't really give you the true scope of the magnitude of the place. This rock formation reminds me of an ancient fertility goddess. To me, it is one of the most spiritual places on earth and it was what I hope to have captured in my study.

Days Gone By , oil, 6x8" SOLD Another DPW challenge. I had fun with it and, for me, stepped out of the box.

Cambria Rose , acrylic, 8x10", available I shot the reference of this beautiful rose on the streets of Cambria, California. The most gorgeous flowers lined the sidewalks, in particular roses. Can you guess what my favorite flower is?

The Bluest Eyes , oil, 7x5" SOLD This is my entry for Daily Paintworks, "The Up Close Animal Challenge". The challenge is to paint a close-up of an animal's face and to use the edges of the panel to crop or frame the face with a minimal amount of background space. Taryn Day is the challenge's author, a painter I adore.

Garden Green Peppers , oil, 5x7" available I grew these peppers in my garden last summer. I painted them from life and enjoyed their presence in my kitchen hanging on my wall. Its time now, to release them out into the world.

Summer Oasis , oil, 11x14",  Available It was a perfect summer day, low humidity and the most gorgeous blue sky imaginable. This idyllic scene is not far from our home in Manchester, MI on a farm down the road.

Feline Repose , 10x8" Ebony pencil on paper, SOLD What can I say? I just love kitty cats and they will always have a special place in my heart.
