"Snowflakes in the Aspen Forest"

22" x 30"  original acrylic on canvas, framed   $350.00

Visit the aspen forests of Colorado in the winter and you will see drifts of snow packed around stark naked trees like frosting.  The contrast is stunning.  The absence of sound except for the crackle of ice in the air and the feeling of freshness inspire a God moment.

  I have added a bit of fine sparkle, but it does not show up in this painting.

Lacy Lilacs, Daffies and Tuliips

9.5" x 8.5" watercolor on Arches 140 lb paper  $150.00

My friend, Elaine used to grow the most gorgeous flowers for our church decor. We would cut them on Sat. morning and arrange them for the altar.  When they were ready to go up, I reveled in getting my face in the petals and green leafiness for a full intake of freshness and fragrance.  That "bouquet" would last me all through the week and enhance my spirits.  Also the friendship and hard work of the gardener that went into the planning and caring for such an amazing array of plants would send my spirits soaring.  Thanks Elaine!  Then I also was given the privelge of photgraphing them.

"September's Song"

18" x 24"  acrylic  $350.00

A lyrical bit of woodland poetry.  Can you smell the freshness?  Sparkling water and vibrant grasses stimulate the senses.

Happy September!  (I know, it's only June, but I couldn't resist.)

"Rocky Mountain Presence"

24" x 30"   oil   $750.00

When you visit the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, you will be amazed at the variety of of colors, light, shapes and animals.  When the freshness of a sparkling, cascading stream fills your warm hands with cool liquid and you see the bubbling in the shadows  around the boulders, you can't help but consider how different it is from everyday living.  This is a magical, spiritual, natural, pristene habitat.  Can you find the bear?
