Welcome to my world! My art is original, based on my sketches, photographs and spirit. My goal is to have each painting sing to you.

"Lisa's Fuschia's" Oil Painting
My wonderful neighbor, Lisa, takes award-winning photos, and generously gives me the "doubles" to paint from. The most important thing about painting is to paint subjects that "rock your boat".
 
"Water Lily at Sunset in Florida" Oil
Another friend gave me the original photograph to paint this from. She had not noticed that the water was reflecting a palm tree! I had to turn the canvas upside down to paint the reflection of the palm tree and clouds! This is not quite done yet, but I love it!
 

 

 

This tree I painted in watercolors. It is from another great photo taken by my neighbor, Lisa. The colors are from my imagination.

 

This is a watercolor based on a photo I took of a wood pump which was made in Canada in the 1800's.

 

This is another watercolor based on a photo I took of an orchid on the cruise ship "Zweiderdam". What fun it was to try to capture the carefree spirit of our cruise!
