Wildflowers are done in oils and on a Canvas panel that my 

husband makes. They are done completely with a knife (lots of thick   juicy paint) These flowers were in a field near our house.

I love doing flowers and sorry I don't know the name for these flowers.

This Magnolia and Sand Dollar is done in watercolors. The paper is 300lb and it is signed and ready to be matted and framed.  The magnolia I used was turning brown.  I decided to use that color and paint the flower. Everywhere you  touch the magnolia, it turns brown.

When I first started painting my magnolias always turned brown before I finished painting them.  I paint faster now.  The sand dollar was found somewhere in Florida by my daughter.

The Old Shrimper, boat



The Old Shrimper is a boat done in oils on a 9x12 canvas panel.  It was a study and now it is offered to you.  

This 9x12-inch painting captures a serene moment along a picturesque waterside setting. At the heart of the composition lies a small boat, nestled peacefully next to a charming building topped with a distinctively warm reddish-brown roof. The boat, with its solid build and visible cabin and rigging, appears ready for adventure, yet it rests in tranquil repose, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in the scene’s inherent calmness.
The painting conveys a quiet elegance through a skillful blend of colors—soft blues and greens intermingle with earthy tones to create a harmonious backdrop that highlights the natural beauty surrounding the boat. The lush greenery and the gently muted sky work together to enhance the artwork's soothing ambiance, inviting one to pause and contemplate the balance between human craftsmanship and the serene allure of nature.

This piece offers a peaceful retreat into a world of simplicity and reflection, where the everyday meets the extraordinary in a gentle embrace. By engaging with this artwork, one can almost hear the gentle rustle of leaves and feel a gentle breeze, reminding us of the simple pleasures and tranquility found in quiet moments by the water.
