"Amor Fleurs"

48 x 27"
acrylic on stretched canvas

This still life has a certain country charm and warmth from the candles that would add character to any decor. The paint on the wood and other surfaces appears to be crackling and all of the items in the scene have an antique appearance. The title, depicted in the aged sign, is from an old flower market in France.

"New York Rain"

I love doing paintings of wet streets at night. The colors and reflections are fun to play with and always create a beautiful setting.

"This is My Body"

These paintings were done shortly after I became a born again Christian. The scenes depict Jesus' last supper with his disciples where only candle light illuminates the dark upper room. The paintings contain scripture from Luke 22.
I also painted Mary who was rescued by Jesus from her accusers. She was caught in her sin and the law stated that she should be stoned to death but when Jesus saw this, He began writing on the ground and said "he that is without sin cast the first stone" and one by one the accusers left.

"You Are Mine"

The orchids pop off the canvas with their vibrant colors and the words from Isaiah 43:1 decorate the stark black background.

"Truth"

30 x 24"
oil on stretched canvas

This painting is of a Chinese flower with a gradation of color that blends into the word "truth" in the lower right corner. I did this painting for my first apartment with my husband.

"Pals"

9 x 12"
oil on hardboard

This painting has an innocence to it that brings us all back to a simpler time when life was all about riding bikes in the warmth of the summer sun.

"Guiding Light"

18 x 18"
oil on stretched canvas

This painting was done for my husband's uncle John. He loves lighthouses and this scene captures the cold mist from the ocean and the storm clouds in the distance.

"Sunset After the Rain"

I did these paintings for my son, Aidan's, room. The bear stuffed animal, affectionately called "blue bear" is his favorite toy to this day and he is now 2 and 1/2 years old. He still can't go to sleep without "blue bear". I felt these paintings captured a timeless memory of a beloved childhood toy who I know see with a stitched up nose, flat as a pancake and a dusty light blue. What a memory.

This was one of my first attempts at a very detailed large scale painting. I had always been an artist but was rediscovering my interest and gift through oil painting. This scene was put together from pictures of several houses I had photographed on California Street. The houses are all old a retain their charm and warmth from years past.
