This painting was created based on a photo I took from a boat on the Tarcoles River in Costa Rica. The scenery along the river was beautiful, as were the crocodiles sunning themselves along the bank!
Out in the Country
18″ x 24″ pastel on paper
This painting was created, as are many of my paintings, from an image in my head. I choose a palette, do an underpainting, and start painting. I let the painting take me where it wants to go.
Backyard Sunrise
21″ x 27″ pastel on paper
This painting was created from a photo of one of the many spectacular sunrises I am privileged to see from my back porch. One of the main reasons I bought this house was for this view.
Savanna's Swamp
12″ x 18″ pastel on paper
This painting was inspired by a view from dry land in the Savanna Preserve State Park in Martin and St. Lucie Counties in Florida. After following a dirt trail for quite a distance, I found myself overlooking a beautiful swampy area. More paintings to come from this park…
Rocky Surf
24″ x 36″ pastel on paper
This painting came from my head after visiting Stuart Beach near the House of Refuge, which you will see in the next painting! This painting is framed between two pieces of acrylic with brushed stainless offset bolts.
Lush
12″ x 12″ Oil and cold wax on gallery-wrapped canvas
This was inspired by so many gardens. Florida is abundantly green all year round.
Coupled
36″ x 36″ Oil and cold wax on gallery-wrapped canvas
These abstract figurative works are done very intuitively with no photo reference starting with a color scheme, and they are really fun to do!
Surf Treasure
36″ x 36″ Oil and cold wax on gallery-wrapped canvas
See the “sand dollar” in the surf?
Span
24″ x 36″ Oil and cold wax on gallery-wrapped canvas
Another completely intuitive painting started with a color palette
