What's for Dinner?: Sold


I purchased these shiny eggplants and red onions at the Ballard market last Sunday.    My husband was a little disappointed when he realized that they wouldn't be on the table for a few days.    I don't have a good eggplant recipe.....so if you do please share.

Jacaranda Season, Maui Uplands


This landscape is from a favorite part of Maui, Hawaii, that in May and June is just purple with Jacaranda blossoms.     I used the greens and blues and purples that create such a beautiful and restful atmosphere during that wonderful season.

Bainbridge Island Ferry: Sold


I used an orange undercoat on this painting and let some of it show through, which seems to gray down and unify the colors.    Washington often has a muted tone in its atmosphere, so I like the effect.

Mount Rainier and Dahlia Fields: Sold


There used to be a dahlia farm in Pierce County that featured five acres of blooming dahlias each August and September.   My husband and I would go there every year to select new tubers for our garden, and to ooh and aah over the fabulous views of Mt. Rainier.    This painting is from a photo, and brings back some great memories.

Max and I loved the fields of sunflowers in North and South Dakota.   The roads travel through acres and acres of these fabulous plants.   I used lots and lots of paint to convey the over-the-top landscape.   Happy Spring.
