A Safe Place, Abstract Painting,Palette Knife Painting, Church Painting, Small Oil Painting, daily Painting, 6x8" Oil on Panel, SOLD
I have been dabbling with abstracts for some time, and now have started to add some structures to the mix.
I am always attracted to old churches, and this one is rather special. It is a local landmark in our town. I worked right next door for twenty plus years, so I saw it every day. Now, it also serves as a cold weather shelter for the homeless.

Fall Landscape Tree Painting, Small Oil Painting,SOLD, Daily Painting, 9x12 Autumn Painting, SOLD
I might have lived in Florida, but in the fall, I want to see orange and red trees. So I always headed to North Carolina for my autumn fix. Well technically, it is still autumn!
I call this painting "Big Brother" for obvious reasons. It was really the small dogwood tree that caught my eye. How could I miss it....right outside my window?
Fall colors can be so bright, it is easy to overdue them in paintings. My goal here was to paint something believable even though my eyes and my brain we telling me it could be brighter.
Thanks for visiting today!

Impressionist Landscape Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, "Golden Hour:, 6x8" Oil SOLD
I am trying to capture that moment when the whole world has a golden glow. My image showed a live oak, draped in spanish moss with the sun setting in the background.
I struggled a lot with the colors. Not sure I got it right.
This is a subject that I intend to revisit. I have just returned from a Elio Comacho workshop and will try to apply some of his techniques to this landscape.
Thank you for visiting my blog today.

Tree painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 6x8" Oil Landscape SOLD
We are rather tree challenged here in Florida. We have beautiful palm trees, but when it comes to the huge leafy trees of my childhood, in the north, not so much.
Enter the live oak. It's big, not really that leafy, but long, long beautiful branches, often draped with Spanish moss.
This one is just a baby, but I couldn't resist painting it as it seemed to glow in the sunshine.
I painted with a combination of palette knife and brush which gave it a yummy texture.
I want to do more tree studies. They are all so unique and so beautiful.
Thanks for viewing my art today.

Abstract Landscape Painting, Textured Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 10x10x3" Oil SOLD
I found some square 3 inch deep canvases in my studio, and decided to play around with one.
 |
| SOLD
I tried several approaches, but nothing was working for me. So, I just started playing with paint and my palette knife. I was envisioning a sunset over the landscape, choosing colors that "felt" right for me.
You can see how deep the canvas is in this pic. I actually love these big clunky canvases on shelves rather than walls, and I like the feel of the rough clunky paint.
All in all, it was a fun painting day.

Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Mountain Landscape, 6x8" Oil on Panel
Inspired by a drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
I am always inspired by the stunning, scenic, mountain views.
I like to display these small pieces on a shelf, along with my other "treasures". Many times, I don't even bother to frame them.
I am in the mountains now, and it is a cool sunny morning. This Florida girl is running around in layers, trying to stay warm in the morning and stripping down in the afternoon heat. Of course, the North Carolina natives, consider me to be rather wimpy. So be it!
