Shells for Christmas



Painted these using acrylic for my Seaside Christmas tree. They also have glitter that you can't really see in the photo. I've done a few different designs but these are my favorite. White poinsettia from a photo on the internet. (For my personal use only.)

Atlantic Station



This was painted on-site this weekend at Atlantic Station. I loved the orange reflections in the lake from the apartment buildings. The trees were starting to show the same orange. I pushed the colors and like how it turned out.

LuLu Prints

I found out that the company I used to publish two books also does art prints so I submitted my daughter Colleen's favorite painting.

So now you can buy prints of it. If anyone does it, I'd like to know how they turn out so please let me know.

Here is the link in case you are interested --

Which one do you like?

I painted these two from a photo taken at Rosemary Beach. I could only peek through the doors of one home and caught a glimpse of the patio. I love the light shapes on the tiles.

I am going to be taking a Don Andrews workshop at Cheap Joes Boone in June. I have read his book a few times and recently decided to try some paintings using his techniques. Here are two recent attempts:

Georgia O'Shaughnessy

I painted this from a photo taken at Callaway Gardens. I liked this part of the center of the flower. I am titling the series "Georgia O'Shaughnessy" because the flowers are from Georgia. Not because it is similar to works by Georgia O'Keefe;)



Order a print of this painting!

Sweetwater Creek


I painted at Sweetwater Creek on Saturday. Two pretty different "looks". Both are 11x14" watercolors.


This one is of the ruins -- Sweetwater Manufacturing Company --

This vignette was trying to capture the Mountain Laurel in bloom --


It was pretty tough hauling both my mother's and my painting gear 1.5 miles through the rocky, hilly terrain to reach the ruins but it was a wonderful day.
