A Daily Desire

Each day brings a new adventure. An opportunity to capture a little of what I see as beauty in the world around me. Painting in different mediums gives me the chance to capture my mood and my art on canvas or paper.

Teaching, painting on location, or at my easel in the studio brings me great joy.

Texas Wildflower Painting

30x40
oil on canvas
Texas Wild Flowers
I completed this one recently. The photo is not as clear as I would like but it is painted on a large 40x50 canvas and is a commission work for a client. The texas wild flowers are bluebonnets, indian paintbrush and indian blankets.

Bluebonnet Painting in Oils


This painting was done earlier this spring. It is oils on stretched canvas 16x20. The bluebonnets, indian paintbrush and little mock dandelions are rendered loosely to get a sense of distance in the closeup design.

It can be yours for $300.00!

Orchid Painting

The trip to Greece in April was wonderful even with the long recovery of the respiratory problems I encountered along the way!! Summer has tempted and won me over to a relaxing time with my husband and family. I am still painting but not everyday as I had planned. My next few postings are of various works that I completed in oils on canvas. I hope you enjoy them. I am back to painting almost everyday. Looking forward to painting on location in Maine this month.
