7x14 oil on canvas

I painted this after I took a long kayak ride. It was a peaceful morning with no boat traffic and no wind. By the time I crossed the lake and got to this spot, a storm blew in. It was a challenging ride home, but I made it before the rains and strong winds.

Hot Summer Night

8x10 oil on linen

Have you ever spent a summer day dreaming of a way to cool off? We did and spent the evening cruising the lake hoping for a cool breeze.   The bonus was this spectacular sunset. Did I push the colors a bit?  Maybe, but if you look long and hard enough the color is there!

10x8 oil on linen panel

Sold

I created this during the Hidden Garden tour this past weekend. It sold right off the easel. I love it that happens.  The house I painted at was absolutely beautiful and highlighted with these huge pots of bougainvillea.  They were 40 years old and were glowing in the afternoon sun.  The owners move them inside the garage during the winter.  That's the only way to survive and get so large.

14x11 oil on linen 

I spied this house on my morning walk. It was the array of colors in the shadow that attracted me to paint this scene.  I've studied this green house for years knowing there was a painting in there somewhere.  The soft pink crape myrtles and roses are a nice contract to the soft greens.

9x12 oil on linen panel

I met up with 5 artist friends at the Chandor Gardens in Weatherford. It was a joyful morning painting with friends.  I let my blouse inspire the color of the water in my painting. There were reflections of the cloud indicating a soft blue. To keep algae down they paint the base of the pond black and dye the water.

First Light's Glow

I painted this using a new color palette, introducing a viridian.  It is on the cool side of green. It leans toward the blue so it was useful for mixing greens on the cooler side. I love the effect it gave with this morning sunrise. This is a local landscape with Comanche Peak in the background.

                                                    11x14 oil on linen

There is meaning behind the color of a fire hydrant. 

Did you know the different colored fire hydrants indicate water-flow capacity? The blue indicate high flow. The pops of color against the blue fire hydrant were eye catching.  I spotted this yard near the town square in Granbury. The whole yard was filled with the bright colors of Spring. I knew I had to paint this colorful still life.
