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.

Gibraltan Morning Glory, painting on glass
Back from the Bear State, California. Had a great time! Took lots of reference photos. The one that I'm most interested in is of a morning glory grouping. This is why: Years ago, my husband and I went to Spain and, while there, also went to Gibraltar. That's the English part of Spain, actually. I realize that the English own that spot of land, and it is truly a spot, very tiny, but you are surrounded by Spain. Anyway, I saw the most beautiful morning glory there, very deep blue. I painted it on glass, as you can see.
Since painting it, I've wanted to paint more, as it was an adventure to paint it. However, I cannot for the life of me grow morning glories, try as I may. So I seek them out for the reference photo and found some beauties. You'll get to see them in the near future, hopefully! See you again this week!
