Watercolors & Oils

Sunflowers at Westcliffe – Westcliffe, Colorado is a small historical mining town in the San Grio de Cristo mountains (Southern range of the Rockies) The original 16 x 20 framed watercolor is still available.

Abandoned – I so enjoy painting roads. They just lead the viewers’ eyes around the painting. The car was photographed in Guffey, CO but the landscape is all Southwest. Available for purchase, it is framed in complementary barnwood and under protective glass.

Bedtime Ritual – This beautiful moody oil painting is framed in a large ornate 18 x 24 velvet and wood frame. The girls are relaxed and ready for bed. I initially named it “Sisters” but had so many comments that it was mother/daughter or friends, that I changed the name to “Bedtime Ritual”. Giclee’ prints, original, and notecards are for sale.

Brown-Eyed Susans – I know these are called “Black-Eyed Susans” but I painted this in honor of my best friend, Susan, who has brown eyes. The different angles of flowers were fun to plan out and capture with paint. This is a 16 x 20 watercolor. The original is still available along with giclee’ prints and notecards.

Gossiping Daffodils – This 18 x 22 watercolor of a group of daffodils is stunning with the contrast of cool and warm colors. Original, giclee’ prints and notecards are available.

Having a Lark – The larkspur is also known as the delphinium. I created the strong contrasting background by putting watercolor in my airbrush. The original, giclee’ prints and notecards are for sale.

Jewels Of The Desert – This is a 13 x 26 oil of a ruby-throated hummingbird hovering over prickly pear cacti with blooms. The framing on this painting is a complementary deep blue that sets off the background perfectly. Original and giclee’ prints are available.

Misty Marble Mountains – An imaginary place that was influenced by the Marble Mountains of Northern California. Our family would backpack into these amazing and pristine mountains every summer. This is a combination of several peaks and lakes where we would camp. Owned by a collector in So. Oregon. SOLD

Simply Birch Leaves – This little 13 x 13 watercolor was meant to be very simplistic. I used my airbrush with watercolor to fill in the background. The original and giclee prints are for sale.

Weathered – The stunning sky hangs over a bucolic valley with time-eroded barn and overgrown path. “Weathered” has many connotations in this painting. It is a 16 x 20 watercolor on museum board and protected archivally with UV resistant varnish. Original is still available for purchase.

Wild Calla Lillies – This framed watercolor of calla lilies is availablefor purchase. It is very dreamy and fades away into nothingness with its misty background.

Will He Bite? – A 16 x 20 framed oil of two little boys playing in a pond. I can just imagine the kneeling boy thrusting the turtle into the blonde’s face. Original,giclee’ prints and notecards are available.
