Valley Barn: Sold
This painting of Skagit Valley (Washington State) daffodils and the white barn was done from a photo I took on a Spring visit to the town of La Conner last year. I fell in love with the poplars and the beautiful sunny sky.

We purchased a bin of honeycrisp apples, and they of course had to be painted in one of my favorite bowls.

Alki Afternoon: Sold
This painting is from a photograph taken on a beautiful summer morning looking West on Alki Beach Drive in Seattle, Washington. I wanted to capture the brightness of the day through the shadows. The distant figures are two people on bikes.

Cloudy Day: Sold
I painted canvas from a photo of a 100 year old apple and pear farm in the Northeast corner of Washington state. It was a very soft day, overcase, with lovely Fall colors.

Odd Couple: Sold
I used lots and lots of paint on this one, and kind of like the strange shaped pear next to the more perfect apple.

Santa Rita Mountains: Sold
This piece was painted on a beautiful April morning after a plein air workshop with professional painter Phil Starke. His class was wonderful, and it was really fun to be able to work quickly to capture the feel of the morning and the gorgeous scenery. The Santa Rita Mts are South of Tucson, AZ. and are well known as a haven for birds.

Garden Gate
This lovely garden is near our home in West Seattle. The arbor of peach roses and purple clemetis was too tempting to resist, although it was a challenge to simplify all of the textures and colors in the scene.
