Blue Tulips

These tulips are painted on masa paper.
It is about 10x14, and was a lot of fun to paint.

Tulips

These tulips are done on masa paper, a very fun rice paper surface. I did them early this summer.

Katy's Sunglasses

Katy has a thing for sunglasses. This was a present for Randy one Christmas.

Pink Lilies

These lilies are painted on 80 lb Strathmore Aquarius, which I've come to appreciate for it's smooth qualities and ease of lifting. It also does not buckle like other watercolor surfaces. It is about
11x14 matted to a 13x18. There is something I really like about this one.

For sale. Cards & prints available.

Blue Bonnet Puppy

I did this little guy for Cam when he was born. I used blue bonnets and a background from Texas because Cam was born just after Sandy and Ben got engaged. It is about 11 x 15 matted to 16 x 20.

This one belongs to my grandson Campbell, but one very similar, but with a beach scene, is for sale.

Celtic Goddess Boan

I did this as a commission last summer. There are a lot of Celtic symbols in it. I used the work of another artist as the base for this, so it is not a completely original idea, and can't be put in a show. But the face is the face of a friend; the Irish wolfhound is like those that her parents raised. Boan is the goddess of the river and hunt, so a river is added.

The Old Mill

This is the popular mill in Pigeon Forge, which I painted this summer. It was a labor of love. It is matted to a 22 x 28 frame. The picture itself is 15 x 22.

'49 Hudson

This watercolor is one of my more recent. It is of Glenn's grandfather leaning over his 1949 Hudson. Notice the two children eating ice cream out the back window...Glenn's cousins, who'd been warned not to drip ice cream on the seats. It is from a photo taken around 1954. Glenn put his stamp of approval on this one.

Iris

Iris was about 2. She always did this patty cake thing with her hands.

Red Hat

It's not just old ladies who think red hats are the best!
This portrait is of Sandy as a senior in high school. It was done in as style a little looser than I normally paint, but I liked it. It measures 10 X 14 matted to a 13 X 18 frame.

Pink Iris

This watercolor on masa paper is about 10 X 13 matted to a 13 x 18 frame. I think masa paper is beautiful and subtle. Some might recognize it...I printed it on vellum for Sandy and Ben's wedding announcements.

On Enterring the 21st Century

I've been wanting to do a web site for a long time to display some of my paintings to friends, family, etc. So here is my first effort.
