This collection includes the animals of the land & beasts of the field. The beauty found in everyday creatures such as donkeys & dogs or in exotics such as rhinos & zebras are forever capturing my eye.
Ahhhh, the sea…..I’ve lived by it most my life…. This collection embodies that love of the salty air & all it represents.

This painting is a part of a series I’m exploring that has to do with relationships, commitment, community and closeness. Oysters demonstrate this perfectly as they are seldom alone!

All I can say about this painting is love…I just love to look at it and this shell was so pretty. Watercolor & Gouache combined with the pearlescent paint is a recipe for beauty.

The variety of colors displayed on these shells are mesmerizing. This long cool girl ( named after a Mark Knopfler song) is no exception.

This shell had come from the collection of my 9year old son. He saw me rifling through different shells looking for one to paint. He asked me ,so hopefully, if I was interested in seeing his collection. Of course, I did! This is one of his. It has a lot of personality!

Some shells have an array of color underneath. Yet others have a more subdued palette. It is like a sweet quiet of color that is very soothing.
This collection of works are things of the air. I am fascinated by birds. Their feathers, unique body types, fabulous colors, beaks, bills, antics and the ability to fly are just marvelous! I never tire of watching them or painting portraits of them.
