A Stroll Through Luxembourg Gardens

 

The Luxembourg Gardens in Paris was already in full bloom in early May. The park was empty when I was there, making it feel like it was all mine. Oil on 16" x 24" stretched canvas. Available at UGallery.com

Beach Haven Afternoon

 

This was painted from a reference photo that I took last year while visiting Beach Haven, NJ. My mother and I participated in the local Art Walk to try to branch out into new territory. We stayed a few nights and really enjoyed the perfect sand of the beaches and the slightly retro vibe of the town. On this particular day, there was rain. In the afternoon, the clouds cleared to reveal the pthalo blue and pthalo green sky. Oil on 9"h x 11"w stretched canvas. Available on my Daily Paintworks gallery page

Sleeping Seuss

 

Seuss the cat loves to nap in a sunny window. In this case, she was sleeping with our calico, Stella, who was basically acting as a blanket. Oil on 8" x 8" stretched canvas. The edges are painted raw umber and the painting comes ready to hang. Available on my Daily Paintworks gallery page.

View From The South Kaibab Trail

 

This is one view from the South Kaibab Trial of the Grand Canyon. The steep grades on each side of the trail can be disorienting, but the visual rewards were worth the anxiety. Just bring ample water if you ever do the hike! Oil on 18"h x 24" x 1 1/2" stretched canvas. Available at Latrobe Art Center, Latrobe, PA

Airport Mesa Trail Of Sedona

Sunbathing

 

My cat, Tiny, is great at multi-tasking, as she can bathe while also sunbathing. Oil on 11"h x 14"w stretched linen. SOLD.

View From The Crane Estate

 

In the summer of 2021, I drove to Massachusetts on a solo trip. I sometimes travel better alone, as I don't have to worry that my subject-matter-gathering isn't getting in the way of what would normally be a relaxing trip. I feel free to explore, change plans on a whim, and eat less than impressive meals on the run. On this trip, I was in search of small towns near Marblehead and Rockport, and everything in between. I drove toward Ipswich and loved all the food stands and the sights of families enjoying their vacations. I noticed a sign for the Crane Estate, which sounded impressive, so on a whim, I toured the grounds. I hope to go back and tour the inside of the estate as well as the connected beach. Oil on 12" x 16" stretched canvas.

FYI, I am currently working on my website. If you have visited and gotten a "Private Site" message, that is why. It will be live in the near future. I will post on here and on social media.

Between Storms

 

This family enjoys some play time between storms in the Outer Banks, North Carolina. During September of 2020, we took a trip with friends, happy to be able to travel again. We made the most of all the nice weather, even if it was just a small amount of time between storms. SOLD.

Misty Stream in Yellowstone Park

 

 

 "Misty Stream in Yellowstone Park" captures the liquid light rolling off the hill into the water, and then evaporating into mist. I painted it from a reference photo I took near the Grand Prismatic Springs. Oil on 14" x 18" stretched canvas. Click Here To Purchase from UGallery.com
