Art by Mary Rochelle Burnham

Hope , oil, 14x11",  Available I could not of asked for a better group of students at my workshop hosted by Blue Morning Gallery of Pensacola, FL. Hope was an excellent model and sat for us the first two days and then the students worked from a photo that I provided on the third day. The time just flew by so quickly! I have found for myself, that I rarely have time to finish a portrait from life in a couple of hours. I usually will finish from reference photos that I take during the session. That is why I like to incorporate both working from life and photos in my workshops.

Eleanor, 16x20", oil, SOLD Well, I am off to Pensacola, FL to teach my portrait workshop. I look forward to working with a new group of students and having fun interacting with them!

Maine Coon Cat Buddies , 8x10", oil, SOLD I love all animals (and people), but I really have a connection to cats. We got our first from my uncle when I was a toddler. Most of my adult life I've had cats and dogs and an occasional bird, rabbit and squirrel (rescue). I became an artist because of my love of horses. I am available to do commission pet portraits, contact me if you are interested.

Atop Schnebly Hill, 6x8, oil SOLD I love going up Schnebly Hill and enjoying the many gorgeous views, but it is about the worst road in the country! I guess it's to keep tourists away unless they are taking one of the many jeep tours that go up there.

Path to Higher Ground , 9x12, oil,  Available  I liked how the cool shadows played off of the warm light on the parched grass.

Green Pepper , 6x6", pastel, $99 I am offering this piece complete with frame on Etsy. It will look great in the kitchen hanging on a wall or displayed on a small easel. Click to buy on Etsy

School Daze , 12x16", oil, SOLD I had to bribe this little guy with lots of goodies at the breaks to get him to keep still.
