Gethsemene

22" x 28"  oil    SOLD    I do take commissions

A friend requested a painting in memory of her mother. We researched many old world paintings and finally decided on a painting by Carl Bloch (circa 1865.)  The tenderness of this angel comforting Christ in the garden where he sweat blood, touched our hearts so much.  The original painting was much larger with a large tree and dark sky and a base.  But we preferred the close up because of its power to pull you in.  It is finished and will be placed in a church.
I am so honored and loved copying this extraordinary beautiful subject.
contact me for commissions.  I require a Pay Pal deposit and lots of conversation before we even begin .

Waterstone

14" x 11"  watercolor  $399.00

Frozen waterfalls and softly falling snowflakes.  Time and growth ceases.
The woods are listening and groaning, pondering as Mary did the ancient seeds that are to become new life in the spring.  For now we can breathe the nippy frost and be refreshed in the mintiness.

Autumn comes on wings of golds and red.  Slender stalks of aspen shoot skyward and their branches perform a graceful dance of joy.

Sentinal

9" x 12"   watercolor  $250.00
My aunt Claudine had Irish Setter show dogs.  This Irish Setter reminded me of her.  The fun part is that when we used to visit her,  this "show dog" was her baby and would sit on her lap while she knitted.  His front legs would be on the floor.  My aunt was, artistic, and talented and her meals were always delicious.
She believed in me and taught me to knit when I was 8 years old when everyone else thought I could not learn how.

Naturally Inspired by the Sea

From beginning to end, this painting bewitched me.  I loved every minute of the detail, the waves, the colors and the serenity it brings.  Even though I a not a swimmer, the sea is calming and beautifully brilliant, a place I love to visit with family and an influence I compare with the Holy Spirit.

The Biggest Sunflower

9" x 12"  watercolor  $150.00

I set up a demo for my students, and am certain that I enjoyedd it as much or more than they did.  After they left, I decided that the bottomwas too plain, so I added some lace.  The flower was enormous and I probably should have given it a larger vase.
