Son On The Water

Posted by Picasa5" x 7" Oil $100.
This is someone's son on the water,
just not mine. Near my home there
is this lovely big lake and when the
leaves are just coming out, so do
youngsters who stand mesmerized
by the warm sun on their young
shoulders.

Garden Music

Posted by Picasa4" x 6" Oil $150.
The lush surroundings seem to inspire his
notes. They float on the warm air, wrapping
around the thick foliage, a display of every
green imaginable. And he, is he Pan? He
plays for us as long as we wish to listen.

On The Steps

Posted by Picasa4" x 6" Oil $100.
In rainy half-light we waited on the steps of the
National Gallery in Washington, D.C. It was a
sort of magical time with everything just so for
only the shortest while. Then suddenly came
nightfall.

Art Show Friends

Posted by Picasa4" x 6" Oil - Sold
This painting is of a few of my artist friends
attending a show. It was fun to try to capture
their looks without trying to paint portraits. I
was gratified that some recognized themselves!
I was even more pleased with the effects I was
able to get for all the paintings in such a small size.
Someone commented "Oh that's the teacup show"
and they were right!

The Classic Combination

This was part of a beautiful buffet set out at
the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
It accompanied a spectacular Cezanne exhibit
that it was my great privilege to see.

The Old Sled

Posted by Picasa4" x 6" Oil SOLD
This nostalgic scene was set out
on the porch of a neighbor. The
sled was so familiar a shape to me
that I didn't realize at first that it
is now an antique.

Lucy likes to snooze on top of my
studio desk. Mostly on the art
notebooks of my students. She
owns the place!

right touch!

Lakeside

Posted by Picasa 5" x 7" Oil -Sold
This is a view I have very near my home. I was
entranced with the violet color in the water.

Monterey View

Posted by Picasa 5" x 7" Oil - SOLD
Extraordinary rock formations with the swirling
waters of the Pacific to underscore their
dramatic stances.

The Masque

Posted by Picasa 5" x 7" Oil - sold
This is my very first small painting on a panel.
It was a great pleasure to do it as the mask had
been an unexpected gift from one of my students.
I was able to utilize touches of gold oil paint - not
something I can use very often!
