"Native Treasures"

6"x6"

Oil on Board


Another painting from a recent trip to Santa Fe. . .this one shows one of the native artists displaying her work across from the plaza. I like the contrast of the woman in the bright sun to the artist in the shade.

"Chrysanthemum"

8"x6"
Oil on Board

Dinner guests brought over a bunch of lovely fall flowers and I challenged myself to paint this chrysanthemum. I love how those flowers are like little fireworks!

Oil on Board
contact River Bend Fine Art for purchase information


The autumn colors have been truly outstanding this year. Then again, I think I say that every fall! And every fall, I think "Wow! What a great subject to paint!!" like I've never noticed them before.

"At The Ore House"




6"x6"
Oil on Board


This painting is done from a trip to Santa Fe to attend a great workshop by Carol Marine. It was a great experience! I'm trying to translate what I learned from watching Carol painting her beautiful still lifes to how I paint figurative pieces--a challenge!

Smith Rock in October




Yesterday was a gorgeous fall day, nice and warm and I had TIME! I went to paint here at Smith Rock State Park--one of my very favorite places.
