Peace Roses Together

Ahh! The Peace roses have got to be my favorites! I keep painting them and never grow tired.

Red Hot Mama

I love the way this red mama cow is looking so protective of her little albino baby! Just had to paint it.

Oak Forest / Cool Summer Day

Sunset on Table Rock

Table Rock is just outside of Medford and quite a bit of a landmark

Footbridge at the Springs

Another angle and later in the season of the koi pond bridge

Rooster from Fair Oaks

Thank you Delores for providing the fine young cock photo to paint from. He did turn out pretty cute for a quick study.

Chester: Cold Blooded Killer of Mice

I was really pleased with the turn out of this little close up of Chester. Just another in the series of the many moods of Chester. More to come. Prints available.

The Vineyard on Siskiyou

Painted on location, this place is wonderful! It is less than a mile from my home and is extremely scenic. I was in heaven! The weather was perfect. It feels like fall is in the air already.

Somewhere in the Oak forest

The lupine are so abundant here! They add great color to a simple forest scene.

More Roses

Some beautful roses that grow at the resort. The gardners here are expert! They knowexactly what to plant and where! The result is truly artistic.

Trumpet Flower

I think that is what this flower is called? Anyway it is beautiful!
This was painted in a one hour demo for the students who came to my recent workshop.
Even though it was a "quick" one, I was very happy with the results! That dosn't happen very often.

Chester Basking in the Sun

Chester, the Inn cat lolls around outside the resort's doors. What a life! He's the luckiest cat I know.

Enter The Lithia Springs Resort

The painting was painted when the rose trellis and daises where in full bloom. A very inviting scene to the gardens of the resort. This painting , also part of the permanent collection of the resort, is available in print and greeting cards.

Chester the Crossed Eyed Cat

This is the resident and very spoiled cat of The Lithia Springs Resort.
I'm doing a series of him in various quirky poses. Watch for future posting. Prints and greeting cards will be available

The Koi Pond at Lithia Springs

This one is part of the Lithia Springs Resort collection of my paintings. Workshops are being offered as well by me to paint the lovely grounds of this resort.

Oregon Landscape paintings

The Oregon landscape is true poetry.
I am constantly inspired by the beauty that surrounds me here. So many scenes to paint will keep me busy for a long, long time.

Peace Rose

The Peace Rose seems to be following me. They have been growing outside my house in both Oregon and California. They have the most delicate hues and subtle color changes. What a beautiful rose and the sentiment it stands for.

Dreamy & Poetic Landscapes

I've been painting in a new (for me) way. Going for a softer look. Softened strokes, colors, & subjects. Attracted to a more romantic style.

New image for the Wine Country art tiles

New take on a portrait

Look familiar? I like her expression so much, I wanted to paint her again with a more contemporary feel. This is the technique I perfected when I was painting a lot of abstracts. I thought this would be a nice accompaniment to the classic grisaille portrait.

cigar box painting

This one is called"Juliet" The cigar box is a "Romeo & Juliet" cigar. I thought this would be right for Ashland. You know, the Shakespeare festival and all.

Cigar Box Painting

Painting on a cigar box available at Gallerie Karon, in Ashland Oregon

New Cigar Box paintings

One of a series of cigar box paintings available at Gallerie Karon in Ashland.

Becky (my dog)

Becky is a Healer / Border Collie mix. She is the best of the best! This is her "I want the ball" look.
The original was a 20" x 28" oil painting, and someone bought it from my representing gallery. I still can't figure why someone would want a painting of my dog? Anyway, prints are available and people have ordered them (maybe they are cattle dog lovers).

Half Dome

Half Dome in May, still quite a bit of snow. My daughter (then 12 years old) captured this photo that was so perfect to use as a painting reference. Her photos from that trip were better than most of mine. She has talent!
Giclee prints are available of this image.

Fair Oaks Bridge & Bluffs

This painting was painted for a fund raiser to "Save the Bluffs"in Fair oaks , California.
The original sold quickly, and now there are prints available in all sizes. Speaking of sizes this was a special canvas size that had to be special ordered. It was a 12" x 48".

Previous paintings / Prints available/ Art Tiles

Lovely plein air experience painting with my dear friend and student Nancy who passed away shortly after this painting trip. I will always remember her and her wonderful spirit!

Previous paintings / Prints available

This is a very popular image. I painted it three times before I got smart and had it professionally photographed. Now it's being published onto "art tiles", available through Patricia Callegari at Connextions Gallery in Healdsburg, Ca. Also available in giclee prints on paper or canvas. Can be ordered directly through me. The location of this painting is in the Sierra Foothills during the fall. I'm inspired by the late afternoon light and the warm glow that is cast on the landscape. Another in the series of "hills and oaks" that I became so well known for in California and Oregon
