Queen for a Day

This lovely lady is dreaming of being a "Queen for a day".   Don't we all wish for our day of pampering and indulgence.  This was my first attempt at doing a human figure (or face) and I wanted to go over the top.  On two sides, (spine) of the canvas in cursive I wrote.     If I'm Dreaming   Don't wake me up

This is acrylic on canvas with silverleaf crown  
SOLD

Patchwork Rain Forest

 This doesn't have my dots or stitches but I Love it all the same.  This painting is a 48" x 60" and It hangs in my Kitchen/Livingroom.  It reminds me of the Pacific Northwest with the enormous rain drops that were done in Silverleaf.  Lots of color blocking and vines moving around on the canvas.
I have included a close up.  Thanks for looking. Available for $3000. plus shipping

Color Me Bright

 Flowers, Love them.... This is something that I did a while ago, an experiment using dots on the
background only and the flower stamen in the middle.  I like doing the painted stitches too, it takes me back to my quilting days.  I still sew, but I don't have much time to do that now that the painting bug has bit.  I have included a close up pic.  Oh, by the way this is a 20" X 60" and its available for $525. plus shipping     SOLD

Blue forget me nots

Flowers are always nice to paint, they are pretty, everyone likes them, and there are so many different
kinds.  This painting has silver leaf applied in stripes, and I chose to only dot the background behind the flowers. This is a 20" x 60" and I've included a close up.      SOLD




                    

Abandoned Line

This is a fictitious place, it's a river canyon on the Washington side near Klickitat and I am looking to the south towards Mt. Hood in the background on the Oregon side.  I imagine it is getting warm out, it's an early summer day,  there is still green vegetation on the hillside and by mid summer all of the weeds and grasses will have dried up.  This trail could be used by deer or even range cows. Available for $850. plus shipping                                                                                                    

Remote Vista

At first glance you might not think of these colorful mounds as a mountain range, they are
very vibrant and not the normal brown and green tones that you are probably use to.  If you haven't
guessed it already, I love lots of color.  In fact, I haven't met a color I didn't like. This is my
interpretation of Mountains along the Columbia River, and a close up picture for more detail. The dimensions are 24"  X 48".    SOLD

Where Old Meets New

This painting was done to show the old landscapes of the river gorge, and the new technology of the
huge wind mill turbines that have been showing up all around the eastern part of the area where I live.  In a way I understand why they are coming to this area, mainly the wind that funnels down the gorge and has the potential to create energy for our modern lives.  In another way It is sad to see less natural landscapes and the hills will be forever changed by this "new" look. As an artist I am just painting and
recording what I see, nothing more.  Thus, My title:  "Where old meets new" available for $600.

Cow and Rooster II

I have at times been on a weathervane kick.  Here are 2 more.... love doing them. They are each 20"X 20" and are both available for $350. each plus shipping. SOLD

Touring

For someone who is afraid to fly, especially in small planes, I have a fascination with them and here is
another plane "touring" down the eastern Columbia River Gorge.  You see the huge windmills in the

distance on the washington side near Goldendale.  I took the liberty to make my hills more colorful than normal. This is a 30" X 40"  The lower photo shows more detail.     SOLD

Acorns & Leaves

Here's a pic of a smallish painting that I did, it's a 16" square.  Love to incorporate nature into my art.
available for $290.
