Happy New Year!

Wishing everyone peace, joy and good health in 2015!

Dancing Leaves

This is the a large piece (60x30) I have been working on for the new Northeast Georgia Medical Hospital in Braselton. It is such a joy for me to have my work hang among other local artists where healing takes place.

Merry Christmas

Wishing everyone a wonderful holiday!

Little Gems

These are tiny little gems (4x12) on wrapped canvas. I worked on them last weekend. I will be in my studio all day tomorrow with the launch of our new show "Winners Circle". I am honored to be a part of this show. If you are in the area come join us for a little Holiday cheer.

A Couple More Rooms

Room With A View

I often hear "I wonder how those paintings would look in my house?" So I thought I would share a couple. The later are the last sixteen years of Christmas cards I have been doing for the same client.

Happy Thanksgiving

Off To California

I am happy to announce these two little ones are on the way to see the "King" of California. They were selected for Randy Higbee's 6"Square. It is a wonderful show. There are over 500 6x6 inch fabulous little gems from artists all over the country.

Demo At First Coast Pastel Society

A big thanks to the First Coast Pastel Society for hosting me last weekend in Ponte Vedra. What a wonderful enthusiastic group of pastelists! Their fearless leader, Lyn Asselta, drug me down dirt roads and forced me to paint some of Florida's hidden treasures.....white sands, turquoise blue waters, purple muhly grass, amber marshes.....it was torture. What a wonderful week.

Boo Yall

Along A Quiet Street

I just got back from a fabulous trip with my mom. Walking down the cobblestone streets and viewing the majestic homes(and okay maybe the food) really enriched our stay in Charleston. There were glimpses into these beautiful vignettes around every corner. Can't wait to go back.

Doors To The Run

On my husband's bucket list has been to "run with the bulls" in Spain. These are the beautiful doors that led to the start of the race. Yes, he did run... not once...but twice!! He can run....I'll paint.

New Studio

I have moved my studio to studio 93 at Tannery Row Artist Colony!! It is very exciting to have twice the space. After all the moving I am ready to get back to painting. Keep posted for new works.

Summertime

I had worked this photo before as a pastel and decided to try it again with oil. I always loved the beautiful saturated color in this composition.

Waiting For Water / Happy 4th!

This is a small 6x12 painting I did today for the 4th. I am celebrating with these little pops of red. Love how the geraniums are lined up on the bench waiting for water.

New Beginnings

Simon, the dog, found this nest in his backyard. What a wonderful treasure! Three beautiful mocking bird eggs laid in the most intricate nest of pine straw, wheat, string and twigs.

Hydrangeas

My daughter had thrown a baby shower and had these beautiful hydrangeas leftover. I arranged them in one of my potter friend Judy's vases. I love the play of celadon against the blue and the warm background.

Landscape Connections

I am thrilled to be participating in a new show 'Landcape Connections". I have been blessed to be plein air painting with three remarkable artists on a weekly basis. These beautiful woman and I are combining our work for a show at the Atlanta Atelier on Miami Circle. Opening reception is May 17th from 12-4. Come join us!!

Woodland Tapestry

Garden Party

I am humbled to have been accepted in to the International Association of Pastel Societies show at the Vose Gallery in Boston. I am honored that IAPS has included me with acceptance into the Master's Circle!

On The Easel Today

I just got back from 5 days at a beautiful old plantation in South Carolina. Incredible creek views. I will post the finished piece later.

Women Painters Of The Southeast

Very excited to have 2 Paintings accepted into the Women Painters of The Southeast Show. I will be hanging among some very talented artists. If you are around Greensboro Saturday, March 29th, please join us for the opening reception at Magnolia Art Gallery.

Rainy Day

The Dance

We were hiking in the mountains and ran across these beautiful leaves dancing down the stream. I was fascinated in the way they twist and turn as they glide in the water.
