Coastal Comfort
This is a commissioned piece of a beach house in Virginia. I love how there seems to be a kind of glowing sky around the home. I also really like the reflections in the windows (thank you Ann Gorbett) and the detail in the front railing too; perfect thing for palette knife work.
Sunflower 2
This happy sunflower was a commissioned piece to be given as a second anniversary and birthday gift. I was glad to have the opportunity to paint another one, forward facing this time, with the same bright blue sky. Hope they love it!

Alliums in Blue
This painting was a commissioned piece for a collector who loved the original painting. I myself have really fallen in love with the Alliums paintings, and may have to add one to my personal collection! They feel modern and interesting, yet soft and simple too.
I love seeing Alliums everywhere in late spring and early summer and plan to plant a few new varieties in my yard this fall. They are actually part of the garlic family and so most animals tend to stay away from them. Perfect! We live on a greenbelt and have deer and lots of critters!

Golden Dome of Notre Dame
A few months ago a friend of my husband suggested that I paint the dome of Notre Dame. I just remember thinking there was No Way I would be able to achieve that with the knife. Still, I drew it out on a panel, then hid it away in a drawer.
I woke up thinking about that panel this past week, so thought it was about time I give it a try. There has to be a first time for everything, right? Let me know what you think of it!
