Inspired by J.M.W. Turner, Georgia O'Keefe, Massimo Cruciani, Edgar Degas and many others, I am pleased to be an artist painting in oils (palette knife and brush), soft pastels, paintings on glass and now watercolors. My landscapes are driven by my travel memories. My flowers are inspired by the actual thing -- I once had a pressed and dried flower business. And my skies -- my hero is Turner. What more can I say? My motto: "Life is short, use color!" I hope you enjoy my show.

Hawaiian Water Lilies, painting on glass
Water lilies are intriguing plants. They just seem to float effortlessly on water and happen to have lovely blooms floating along with them. I've seen these plants at several places; they certainly are not native to Colorado!
In this painting on glass, I've tried to convey that floatiness. You might be able to see it to better effect in the close-up. Drifting through life, that sounds like a great way to live!
"Hawaiian Water Lilies", painting on glass, 10"x20" edge to edge glass, framed in black with gold lip, $360.00 + $14.95 shipping
