Bright Forest

4" x 12" each on deep canvas    oil    $99.00 each or al three for $250.00

A happy salute to all my friends!  Stand tall and raise your arms in the air and breathe the freshness of fall, floating leaves and kids jumping in crunchy piles of earthy gold.  

This year my tulips are planted and covered with chicken wire so that they don't become squirrel food and I am hopeful that they will bring Springtime joy in 2014.  Can you believe it?  

 These happy paintings are covered with heavy oil paint and slightly abstract because you cannot really decipher a leaf!  However you get the idea of warmth at the end of October.  I love my aspen trees so much with their gorgeous paper bark, scarred,  as of someone came by with a charcoal stick and scribbled on them.  Do you think it was the mysterious"Banksy"?

Just for you my sweets!

A soft, dreamy autumn painting in golden shades with a hint of mauve, for an office, a family or dining room wall or a contemporary bathroom.  It is painted on all sides for extra eye candy.  

You never know when a trek through the woods will awaken golden thoughts and the feeling of belonging.

Einstein in Blue

10" x 14"   watercolor    $60.00

Hi everyone! 
Thanks for your patience and joy!

 Don't you just love this familiar wizened face  and white fuzzy disheveled hair copied from a Time Magazine cover?  Gotta love his amazing creations and dedication.   Can't we all get sort of dowdy when we are impassioned by the work being done?   

I have  been recuperating from my 3rd retina detachment since Dec., but it cannot keep me from dreaming about you and thinking  magical creations in my mind. 

If you need to know anything about the operation for yourself, please let me know.   

A Winding Stream on Colorado Highway 131

16" x 20"  oil on canvas  $600.00

While returning from a fun camping trip at Trapper's Lake, we had a blowout!  Yikes!  This beautiful scene was beside us where we stopped and the man who lived directly across the road on a 17,0000 acre ranch came over to help us.  He was really strong and sooo kind.!  He took the spare tire from our car and replaced the blow out in no time.  I do think I saw some wings on his back! 

We followed him to his football field sized "garage" to put air in the spare tire and that was another adventure.  He was one of those gentle and interesting characters that you only read about in books.  In the huge garage were stalls  for horses and cows, a huge wood workshop, several vehicles and a float.  How could we thank him?  

He did not want money.  He was just a good Samaritan and we were fortunate to meet him.

I may have to send him a painting of the ranch, eh?

Sea Path

16" x 20"  oil on canvas  $600.00

Sea Path is painted in the footsteps of Vicki McMurray.  The colors are scrumptious  and the palette knife has skipped across the pre painted brown landscape.  This was a really fun painting because it is so bright and zig zaggy.  Rich golds and deep neutral greens  play off the pinks and mauves.  Thanks Vicki for your simple instructions.  I am off and running now, mixing an awesome palette way before I lay any of it down has made all the difference!  Way fun!

Mr. Rabbit 3

8" x 10"  watercolor   sold

Mr. Rabbit is a ball of fluff sitting in the sunset.  The golden colors wash over him, and the purple shadows surround him softly.
