Ciudad

This painting was done with a pallet knofe and by scratching through paint before it dried.SOLD

Baby Bird

This was done with soft pastels.  I have just recently discovered how pastels can enhance and acrylic painting and how many textural effects can be created with pastels.

Wisteria

This was fun to paint and experiment with color.

Orbs

You may have noticed that I like green and blue.  I enjoy putting paint on a canvas and watching the contrasts as more color is added.SOLD

Blue and Green

Mira Lehr had some of her paintings on exhibit at the Bascom Art Gallery in Highlands, NC.  She does some great Multimedia.  Looking at her work made me want to try something different. This was the result.  SOLD

Jenny's Vase

SOLD
I was commissioned to paint this for a friend who made a very generous donation to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
It is acrylic and soft pastel on board, approximately 60" X 36".  She saw a picture in a magazine and wanted something similar.  It was allot of fun to paint because of all the free brush strokes and multiple colors.
The FDA just approved a new drug to help  people with Cystic Fibrosis! Thank God we are one step closer to The Cure.
