Near the Ruins at Ardchattan

Near Oban, Scotland, is an area called Ardchattan. There is a church and an old priory that has a garden and ruins. It is a peaceful place to explore, as there is a farm nearby and wildlife, and very few people. Oil on 16"h x 20"w stretched canvas.

The White House in Glencoe

This white house in Glencoe appears to be lonely, but it can't be that lonely with so many tourists (like me) driving past and taking pictures of it. Oil on 16"h x 20"w stretched canvas. SOLD.

The Road Through Glencoe

In relation to the size of the mountains, the road through Glencoe looks like a small walking trail. This is a view of the valley from the mountains opposing the Three Sisters.

View of Oban

View of Salisbury Crags

During our recent trip to Edinburgh, we stayed near Holyrood Park, so I spent a lot of time photographing, as well as climbing, Arthur's Seat and Salisbury Crags. We were fortunate to have sun and interesting clouds. Oil on 6"h x 8"w stretched linen. SOLD.

Dawn in Ardchattan, Scotland

When the first ray of sunlight entered the window of the B&B I visited in Ardchattan, Scotland, I looked out the window to see this view. I thought I was the first one awake, but the Sheep were already eating their breakfast at the neighboring farm. Oil on 6"h x 8"w stretched linen. SOLD.

Along the Lungarno Torrigiani in Florence

This church along the Lungarno Torrigiani in Florence always caught my eye on my morning runs. I thought the light orange of the building was refreshing, sort of like an orange San Pellegrino. Oil on 16"h x 20"w x 1 1/2"d stretched canvas. SOLD.

Italian Cafe

This waiter appears to have just finished setting the tables at a Florentine sidewalk cafe for lunch. Oil on 18"h x 24"w x 1 1/2" stretched canvas.

Rainy Afternoon in the Piazza Navona

When we visited Rome two years ago, my husband and I decided to do as the Romans do and have a drink at an outdoor cafe in the Piazza Navona. It started raining unexpectedly, so we had to prolong our cafe visit with an extra espresso. Oh well!

Sidewalk Cafe in Greenwich Village

On this particularly warm, sunny Friday afternoon in New York City, every sidewalk cafe was busy. My husband and I couldn't pick one to visit, so we had small plates at a few different ones. One couldn't ask for a better way to spend an evening in the city.

First United Methodist Church of Shadyside

The Andy Warhol Bridge Study

View from Piazza Michelangelo

This is a view of the hills surrounding Florence, Italy from Piazza Michelangelo. I know it doesn't look real, but it looked that way in real life. I guess it doesn't look real to me because of the umbrella pine and cypress trees, which are completely different from the trees we have in Pennsylvania. Add a fortress wall and a Tuscan villa, and it looks like a made-up scene. But it isn't made up, it really exists in Italy! SOLD.

View of San Gimignano III

This is a view from one of the many lookouts along the hilltop town of San Gimignano, Italy. SOLD.

Dusk in Dublin

Oil on 5"h x 7"w stretched linen.

Dexter the Cat

Dexter is my grandmother's cat, and I'm pretty sure he is related to my late cat Oliver, as they have similar appearances and personalities. Gray and white cats are my favorite to paint because the light, shadows and reflections create interesting colors in their fur, and the gray helps you know that those aren't really colors, they're just reflections. Oil on 7"h x 5"w stretched linen. SOLD.

Along the Via di Belvedere

From the Piazzale Michelangelo in Florence you can see a winding wall going up the opposite hill, surrounded by olive groves. I wondered what was there, so I jogged up the hill one morning. Unfortunately, you can't really see over the high walls into the city or the olive groves, and the tall iron fences are sealed off so you can't see inside. I saw some pretty views of the wall's turrets and cypress trees, however. Oil on 7"h x 5"w stretched linen.

Wine and Cheesecake

If you can pair wine with cheese, you can pair wine with cheesecake! Oil on 5"h x 7"w stretched linen. SOLD.

Alley Near the Duomo

Saturday in Brooklyn

This is a busy corner in Brooklyn, as hoards of people are lined up waiting to order pizza from Grimaldi's. From this venue, you can see the silhouettes of Manhattan buildings in the distance. Oil on 18'h x 24"w stretched linen. SOLD.

The Corner of Walnut and Negley

Taking the dog for a walk on an autumn day in the Shadyside neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pa.

Springtime in Shadyside

The shady side of the street in the Shadyside neighborhood of Pittsburgh. Oil on 9"h x 12"h stretched linen. SOLD.

Coffee, Eggs and Butter

From the past few paintings I've uploaded, one can probably see that I love breakfast foods. To repay the chickens for providing nutrients to my diet, I only use free-range, cage-free eggs. I hope I don't offend any vegetarians, as I greatly appreciate the ability to meet one's nutritional needs without meat. However, I think if one must eat meat, the animals deserve a decent life since they help sustain ours. Just something I wanted to say... I love all animals, even if I do eat them!

Taking Time to Smell the Zinnias

My mom's cats like to hang out on the kitchen counter to signal that they want food. Here they are taking a break from begging to smell the zinnias from her garden. Oil on 12"h x 12" stretched linen. SOLD.

Sending a Text

This is a painting of my cousin's girlfriend checking her phone before one of our dinners. I feel grateful that my family puts up with dinner sometimes turning into a photo shoot for artistic subject matter. I still socialize, though... I can talk and take pictures at the same time! Unfortunately I sometimes prevent people from eating right away if I see a potential painting. Oil on 14"h x 11"w x 1 1/2" stretched linen. This is one of the paintings in my exhibit at Gallery on 43rd Street in Pittsburgh, PA.

New York Pizzeria

These guys are waiting for some slices of New York pizza. They didn't appear to be talking... I hope they weren't "hangry." Oil on 11"h x 14"w stretched linen. SOLD.
