A New Day Begins 7x14 oil on canvas
I am up early enough to see the sunrise on my journey to town. I often take a detour or two in search of my next painting. This was on a drive through the park in Benbrook. I loved the warm grasses that lined the road.

Quince Design
12x16 oil on canvas
This blooming bush is one of the first burst of color in the spring time. I spied these at the Botanical Gardens in Ft. Worth. I painted on location and gathered reference photos for studio paintings. I create my paintings in layers and the final is with the palette knife. I love to create drama with texture and color.

Sunrise in Style
24x36 oil on gallery wrapped canvas
It changed in a drastic shades of orange, pink and blue. I was amazed at the array of colors in this beautiful morning sky. It was both a challenge and joy to create on canvas. I started with a warm base and used the paint brush to lay in the big shapes. I quickly grabbed the palette knife and started building texture and warm colors.

I was happy to get out and paint during my lunch break this week. The Ft Worth Botanical Gardens are close to work and I try to go by often. It's a great place to walk and get some fresh air. When I saw this garden of color I came back 3 times to paint. It was a refreshing break from my hectic life.

This is inspired from one of my all time favorite painting locations in Benbrook, Texas. The rising sun draped the clouds with warm colorful light and begged me to paint it. I used the brush to lay in the colors and shapes and added texture using the palette knife.

The park near Benbrook lake is my inspiration for this sunrise painting. I drive through the park on my way to work and if I time it right I see the sun come up. The golden hour where the sun cast bright colors everywhere. This was a joy to paint using the palette knife and all these warm colors.

This is my husband's restored 52 Chevy truck. He came along on a paint out with me and the truck was in the perfect setting. I painted and he waited patiently for me. We love to take the truck out on these little adventures.
