"Gracie and Ashten"


11 x 14"
oil on gessoed hardboard

This painting was done for some friends of ours, who had this wonderful picture of their children holding hands on the beach. It was so fun to paint and I loved being able to capture this timeless moment.

"Cafe in the Rain"























24 x 36"
oil on gallery wrapped canvas

I love the way this painting looks on the wall. Especially in dim lighting the street lights seem to glow and the wet cobblestone reflects the soft lighting.

"Bottled Orchids"











































12 x 12"
oil on gallery wrapped canvas


This painting was a true joy to do. I had fun attempting to create the effect of raised letters on the glass bottle and I love the way that the colors all compliment each other. This is one of my favorites, done on 12 x 12" gallery wrapped canvas with 1 and 1/4" painted black sides. This painting is varnished and ready to hang.

I love orchids because of their rich color and elegant style. The reflection on the dark water gives me a sense of stillness and tranquility.

Wedding Bouquet



























12 x 12"

oil on gallery wrapped canvas

These dried flowers are from my wedding bouquet. I wanted to preserve them in a beautiful way and this vase worked perfectly. I have recently been working with crackle medium but did this crackle by hand because of the use of oil paints.
