I heard him singing before I saw him. I loved the contrast of his dark figure against the yellows of the cotton wood trees. I was on a painting trip in Santa Fe during the peak of the fall leaves.

I had a wonderful opportunity to paint at the Acton Nature Center this week. I was drawn to the wooden arbor and the path leading to it.  The asters, greg's mist, red salvia and many other flowers were in full bloom. They were covered in butterflies. It was a delightful morning spending time in the treasured garden.

My garden continues to inspire new paintings.  It is still blooming brilliant flowers with color bursting out. Being in the quiet of the garden is a happy place.  I created a small study before attempting this larger version. It really helps with color and design.  Where flowers bloom so do hope and happiness.

12x9 oil on panel

Sold

This delightful painting was inspired from the banks of the Brazos River. Spending time in nature, painting, gathering ideas and observing are part of the process. I came home filled with ideas and created this.

It recently sold to a new collector and she said it was a piece that spoke to her and she had to have it.  Her wonderful husband agreed it would make a great birthday present.  This is why I paint, to share, inspire and pass on the passion of a beautiful view. Thank you Laurie!

Thistle Way

Thistle Way

20x16 oil on gallery wrapped canvas

This was created in the studio from a couple of painting sessions on the river. The walk back to the car provided little pops of color with the wild thistles gracing the landscape. I completely changed up the color scheme by premixing colors of my choice.  I sketch out big shapes and applied the paint using a palette knife.  I left some of the warm underpainting showing.

Waterfall Garden

Waterfall Garden

14x11 oil on canvas

I painted this at Chandor Gardens in Weatherford, Texas. This is a beautiful garden area now owned by the city. The original owner, Douglas Chandor created the gardens over 70 years ago. He was a renowned portrait artist, but his true love was the garden. The city is doing a beautiful job of maintaining and preserving this little bit of heaven. 

.  It was a calming spot in the garden with the sound of the falls splashing.
