Aspen Stream

Aspen Stream 6x6 oil on panel

Aspens are my all-time favorite trees! While we were in Utah, most of my pictures were of aspen trees!

This painting is a little more of my abstract-style. There WILL be more in this style! I'm pulling away from realism! Here goes!!

Dad, Can I Try to Catch a Fish?

Dad, Can I Try to Catch a Fish? 9x12
Lyons Share Gallery Fairhope, AL ....SOLD

Walking down the beach, I enjoyed all the many activities enjoyed by beachgoers. I guess this guy thought he was going to catch bait, but his son couldn't wait to have his turn. It's so enjoyable freezing the moment you can never get back. I look forward to finding more moments like these to share.

I Bought This Cap at a Surf Shop

You know when you leave your ballcap at home and have to stop by the nearest "Surf Shop"? I am notorious for buying new caps because I forgot to pack one! I'm not saying that's where this girl got her's, but I thought it would be a funny title because we all can relate.
I'm still enjoying my July 4th photos at Caribe Resort in Orange Beach, AL. I may explore some beach shots I took of my husband and children. They had so much fun until the jellyfish started stinging. Ashlyn (5) vowed to never enter the ocean again!! It won't last.

Ecor Rouge

A plein aire painting done in a workshop led by my artist friend Erin Fitzhugh Gregory http://www.efgart.com/ . We followed her to this beautiful home on Ecor Rouge (I think it means Red Hill) which is the highest point on the Eastern Shore. We combed the lush landscape for the perfect painting composition and I chose the view of the 120 steps leading down to Mobile Bay. I didn't think I would enjoy painting in the Alabama sun for 6 hours, but I really loved it!

Fishing on Bon Secour

9x12 oil on panel Available at Lyons Share Gallery Fairhope, AL .....SOLD

Wanting to start a waterway series, my husband & I cruised around the Intercoastal Waterway looking for the perfect scene to start my series. I had to take pictures because of the lack of time we had in Bon Secour. The man I picture of was much more buff than the man I painted, but I didn't think the muscles worked with the environment! I did not plan on even painting this scene,but it kept calling me and I'm glad I heard it! I'm pleased with the way the reflections dance on the water.
