Farm landscape painting.

Here is a painting of a local farm, Acrylic on canvas (9"x12"). Available for sale for $275.00. I really enjoyed painting the light on the silver roof and white walls of the barn. Every painting I paint I learn a little more. I find painting is a great way to relax and let the stress of work just melt into the background. This piece is available for purchase along with the Boot Still Life painting, Acrylic on canvas, $250.00 (14"x11").

If you are interested in purchasing a piece please contact me at

Boots - A Still Life

Time for a still life painting!!! I decided to use some boots that don't seem to fit very well for a different purpose. Sooooo... I set them up and painted away. Here you'll see the result.

Doc - Moving On to Greener Pastures

An artist friend of mine recently had to put down her American Quarter Horse. Doc had a rough past having been abused and was truly fortunate to have a great home. I painted this 10" x 8" acrylic on panel in his memory. I hope that this likeness will help his owner remember the good years of a lost friend.

Spring Time ...

I have to admit I love Spring. I fully enjoy watching the buds opening on the trees, seeing the grass turn green again and the extended time with daylight is great too!!!
Since it is the season of awakening, my husband and I are in high gear cleaning house shaking off our winter hibernation groggyness. I have to admit that I have not been as busy painting as I should be but soon I will be hitting those canvases again. I have two painting in progress, which I will post soon, that I need to get back to.
Happy Spring to all !!!

Hunter-Jumper - Work in Progress

As I enjoy the snow falling out my window I am painting away at the easel on a quiet Sunday afternoon. I thought I would post my progress so that you all can follow along. In the above photo I have painted a very general background and a basic drawing of my foreground figures.



Here you can see I have painted out the tree which seemed too strong an element and was taking away from the horse and rider forms. I have also started to add some color to the horse and rider.

I have paused my painting session for today as I am ready to settle down with my hot cup of tea with honey and stare blankly at the television for awhile. Sunday evenings are great for that!! :)
