“Applegate River at Star Gulch” 9″x12″ oil on canvas $125 It’s been over two months since you have heard from me, but it has not been two months since I’ve painted. In June Terry Miura came to our studios at HUMMINGBIRD to present a plein air oil painting workshop and I participated as a student. […]
Beach Fires & Unconsciousness
Thursday, May 22nd, 2008
Hello out there-I said “you may not hear from me for a while” and it has been over a month! The show in Portland went well and we came home to the joy of spring gardening and the sorrow of having to deal with a rental property we own and need to sell. It’s been […]
The Good Red Road

“The Good Red Road” 9 x12″ oil on mahogany panel SOLD- Thanks, N.W. I liked this painting when I started it some months ago, but it was set aside. The inspiration came from a hawk that was reappearing every day on our property to the point that I finally consulted my Medicine Cards to see […]

“Big K Ranch” 12×20″ Oil on Canvas $250 Last weekend I had the pleasure of meeting my daughter for an overnight at the Big K Ranch in Elkton Oregon, which is about equidistant from here and Portland, where she lives. We both drove through rain the entire trip until we turned into the 5 mile […]
Early Sky

“Early Sky” 12×9 “oil on canvas SOLD Thanks, A.M. Last Friday I spent way too much time on the computer. I was disappointed that yet another day had gone by without painting, so after dinner, still feeling glum, I flipped through my photos filed under “landscapes” and this scene jumped out to serve my mood. […]
Harvesting Pumpkins

“Harvesting Pumpkins” 6×8″ oil on canvas SOLD After almost two weeks of glorious spring weather and time in the garden, we are back to cold and rain. Somehow this fall scene of harvesting pumpkins seemed the right thing to post today. I have been busy working on larger paintings, which you will see eventually. Other […]
Beach Retreat

“Beach Retreat” 6×8″ oil on canvas SOLD Thanks, D.E. Here’s another group of friends that have been meeting for years- our Book Club. I carried this windy image in my head, after our once-a-year overnight retreat, and painted it as soon as I got home. I think my best paintings are either very loose or […]
Morning Mist

“Morning Mist” 8 x 6″ oil on canvas SOLD By now you have noticed that I am posting some paintings I did the same day and some that were done months ago, if the season depicted tells true. It feels a little funny to be showing these autumn paintings now, but October was the month […]
Rollercoaster Morning
Thursday, February 21st, 2008
When you get on a roller coaster you go for a wild ride and end up back where you started. Ready? … Go! Did I say painting flowers is fun? The carnations were not the problem here, but my husband’s little ceramic jug. His work is wonderful, but I have never been able to paint […]
Cloudy Skies, Sunny Flowers
Wednesday, February 20th, 2008
“Marigolds” 8×6″ oil on canvas $98 The February Tease of warm weather continued for our weekend in Portland, but we woke to clouds this morning and forecasts of temperatures in the 20’s again. One of my personal goals is to rise above the weather, to find the sun within myself when it is gloomy outside; […]
