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.

Pansies

6x8
original oil
100.00
It is almost time for the pansies to be pulled up here and replaced with flowers that can handle the hotter temperatures. I can not hardly stand to do it. So just a few in a tiny vase makes a lovely study.

Patio Door

20x24
Oil on Stretched canvas
500.00
Maybe the long stretch of silence in posting is over!!! I have finally hung my solo show in Shreveport La. 28 paintings at the Gardens of the American Rose. Exit to the gardens off of I20 is #5. Follow the signs, perhaps one mile off the interstate and visit the beautiful gardens and see my show. I hope you will like it. The roses will be best from mid April through mid May. My show will be up from April 1 through June 30.
The Artists' reception will be May 3, Sunday at 2:00. You are invited.
The painting posted above is the final one I finished for the show. It was done with bristle brushes, with the goal of catching the light outside the door as it rapidly changed.
