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.

Morning Glories of Half Moon Bay, painting on glass
These are the morning glories I saw in Half Moon Bay in California. What beauties they were, a delight to see! Very cheery, although something of an overcast day. The morning glories on Gibraltar were far darker blue, with a soft stripe of red in them. The lilacs and purples in these intrigued me and I actually abstracted them somewhat.
Greens in the leaves are difficult for me, so my plan is always to have fun with them. Marbelize them, lighten or darken them, make a nice contrast to the actual flower or petals.
Enjoy your weekend! And the rest of autumn, for winter's just around the bend, at least here in Colorado.
"Morning Glories of Half Moon Bay", 11x14" edge to edge glass painting, $425 plus domestic shipping charges to be determined at time of sale, sold framed as shown (black frame, gold lip)
