Sky Reflections
11x14 oil on wood panel
I am drawn to river views and love exploring the possibilities in paint. We painted on an old bridge overlooking the river this week. The water was low exposing little islands along the way. The sky was filled with clouds that reflected on the water making a beautiful spot to paint.

Facing the Sun 16x20 oil on gallery wrapped canvas
I was fortunate to paint at a field of giant sunflowers recently. I have been painting them in my dreams every since. I was looking for patterns, shapes and movement in this landscape. Using a palette to introduce texture and color in the sky is what I imagined.
