Painting landscapes, gardens, and the beautiful abundance all around has become a passion for me. Through this blog I would like to share with friends and acquaintances who are interested in art.

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.
