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.
