"Mother and Child Nursing"

10" x 10"  colored pencil  $200.00 matted and framed

When my daughter had her new baby boy, who is now 17 years old, I thought they looked so precious together in the hospital.    Colored pencil is the perfect medium for a tender drawing.
I can almost still smell the sweet breath, feel the soft skin and fuzzy little head.  If you are a parent you understand.

"The Magpie Who Builds"


21" x 29"  watercolor on Arches 140 lb paper  $1200.00  SOLD

The builder is a magpie male who lovingly placed each and every twig in its proper place to woo his love who came in the spring when he had finished the task in the windy weather. I watched him from my kitchen window, formed the thought of the poetic painting, and he sat while she laid her eggs in the shelter and then helped feed his brood.   I love this painting!
