In the Distance

I did this painting to challenge me.  It is a little out of my style--I usually paint much brighter, happier scenes and this one is a bit more subdued.

Gone Fishin'

I had a lot of fun painting this one.  I think the little boy turned out just adorable!  I hope he catches a big fish...

Stormy Seas


I painted these two stormy beach scenes from some vacation photos of Sunset Beach.  The one with the pier was my first attempt ever at doing an ocean scene.  I enjoyed painting the ocean so much that my next painting was the one with the sea gulls.

The Red Barn

This is my husband's favorite painting that I have done so far.  It took me several days to paint this one because I kept changing my mind on the layout.

The Mighty Oak in a Field of Poppies



Block Island

This painting was done from a summer vacation photo.  It is the view looking out to sea from North Island Light House on Block Island in Rhode Island.

Dandelions

Here is another painting of dandelions.

The Coming Fall

This landscape was really quite challenging.  The water gave me a bit of trouble, but I am really pleased with the end results.

Floating Away

 I am really on a dandelion kick right now so I painted another one.  I think that I might make this picture a threesome--I think it would look good with a cream background and a brown flower and then a brown background and a teal flower.  I think it would make a nice set.  But, for now it is just a single.
