"Skimming the Waters"

  w/c on 140 lb Fabriano paper    5/4/11   21" x 29"   $1250.00 framed

Skimming the Waters" from the 2009 CS ballon fest, Colorado Springs, Colorado.   Some of the balloonists lower their balloons and just skim the waters to give onlookers a treat. Thousands of people have awakened early in the morning, pulled on their warm clothes, grabbed their children and of course their cameras,and a snack and if it is not a windy day, the balloonists are given the okay to rise.  With a whoosh of hot air they are up up up and away in their beautiful balloons. It is a "heavenly",sight and a great way to spend a couple of hours for free! Bring your lawn chairs and a friend or two for a spectacular event in the park.

"Chilly Beach"

oil on canvas board  9 x 12  5/3/11  SOLD

A coolish feeling on the beach with a bit of sun beginning to rise. The morning beach weather can be very breezy and chilly before old sol wakes everyone up.  It's a great time to take your big dog for a brisk walk and wear him out so you can go home, have your morning coffee and think about your workday.  Or not.

  Where else but Colorado! I love aspens. I love their leaves and their lacy beauty even though people say they are big weeds. Sure are pretty weeds!

This was from a photo of huge amazing, strong, 

spiritual carved black stone statue at the Botanic

Gardens about 4 years ago. African carvers were

there, teaching how to carve in stone. I wonder what

lucky person purchased this statue?

#39 "Emergence"

‎ 

6/9/11    1 1/2 x 20 x 20     acrylic on  gallery wrap canvas 

sold      20 x 20  prints available      $85.00

This is done in a watercolor style, all wet and washy and 

fun. I added lime greens, buttercup yellow, lavender, a few

 touches of coral and brilliant blue colors together on a wet

 canvas and using my spray bottle letting it float and do its

 own thing with just a few odd touches, it looks pretty in

 every direction. Does it say springtime to you?
