Daily Painting, Landscape Painting, "In the Bamboo" 8x6" Oil Painting
As a child living in rural Ohio, my grandmother would visit from Florida, bringing along an exotic collection of seashells and postcards. There was always one or two postcards from McKee Gardens in Vero Beach. She awakened a deep desire in me.....to live in this strange and beautiful tropical land.
It's always nice when a childhood dream comes true............Thank you Grandma.

| Purchase here 90 + 6.50 in USA Recently I made my first trip to McGee Gardens, a magical place filled with tropical flora and giant water lily pads. I was fascinated with the bamboo stands, so abstract in their shapes. |

Where Am I Going?, Small Oil Paintings, Daily Paintings
Traditionally, this time of the year, is when we evaluate our performance, over the last twelve months, and look at the direction we are headed.
I looked through my posts from last year, and picked out my favorite pieces, hoping against hope that they will tell me where I am headed.
Abstract Expressionism?
Maybe....
Thick Paint?
Impressionism?
Brushwork?
Knife?
Really thin paint?
Artistically, I see nothing but question marks. I want to have a clear plan, a path to follow and mark my progress, but alas, it evades me.
I looked through my posts from last year, and picked out my favorite pieces, hoping against hope that they will tell me where I am headed.
Abstract Expressionism?
Maybe....
Thick Paint?
Impressionism?
Really thin paint?
Or does it really matter?
All this thinking is making my head hurt!
I am happy I found this many pieces, from last year, that speak to ME. I am happy with them which makes me happy with me.
Maybe 2020 will find me treading the straight and narrow.....but somehow, I don't think so.
Thank you all, for joining me on my crazy, unplanned journey!
Hubby keeps me grounded!

Tropical Landscape Painting, Coastal Wall Decor, Palm Trees on the Shoreline, Tropical Giclee Print On Canvas
You would think that with everyone staying at home , with our activities curtailed, that time would drag. I find it to be just the opposite.
So, time flew for me, and for most of the year, I had no time or inclination to paint. Finally, I am back in the studio!
It is very reassuring for me to get back to normal activity, in at least one aspect of my life.
I hope your finding a little silver lining in your life too.

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!

Yesterday's News, Coastal Landscape, Florida Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting

| Purchase Here
The waterways of Florida are littered with abandoned boats, that have been destroyed by the hurricanes of the last few years. Unscrupulous owners, remove the boat registrations, walk away with their insurance money, and leave it to the counties to remove the damaged boats. In most cases, the counties do not have funds, so the boats sit in the waters.

"Old Florida" Original Oil Painting, Daily Painter, Landscape Painting,
I painted this a few years ago, while on a winter vacation in Florida. The scene seems to bring to life my impression of "Old Florida". Before Mickey, back when the state was more "Down Upon the Suwannee River" and glass bottom boats.
It was painted plein air, on the banks of the Indian River, which is part of Florida's intra-coastal waterway.

Landscape Oil Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Ocracoke Island, N Carolina
I recently visited the outer banks of North Carolina. Ocracoke is a small settlement on the southern end of the banks.
The residents are a special group of individuals, who fiercely defend their lifestyle.
It is a 2 1/2 hour ferry ride, to reach the island, and many of the residents go years without visiting the mainland.
I appreciated their dedication to this small strip of land, 40 miles from the mainland, and am thankful they were willing to share it with me.
