Silver and Lavender Shimmer

Silver and Lavender Shimmer
5" x 7" original oil
premium canvas board

Available in my online store

I am very pleased with the shimmery
effect this painting has. Painted from
life, I tried to paint what I saw.
That's what I always try to do... but
this painting seemed to paint itself.
Loads of small pieces of light, and
reflections seem to shimmer.

Three Blues

Three Blues
8" x 10" original oil
gallery wrap stretched canvas

Available in my online store


I've chosen a different approach to
creating this still life painting.
All three dominant subjects feature
blues and whites. Yet all three are in
varied positions, with one being a painting
within the painting.


Hope you enjoy this interesting approach.

Capers, Crackers, & Cheese

Capers, Crackers, & Cheese
5" x 7" original oil
Premium Canvas Board

Available in my online store


I invite you to enjoy the lighting!
The light passes through this
wonderfully green bottle and carries
the green color into the shadow.
The light is absorbed into the
textured surface of the crackers,
yet the light reflects off the silver
of the cheese knife and its handle.
Light glints off the bottle and bottle top,
and light also gives shadows of depth
to the holes in the cheese.
Lots to see and enjoy in this
yummy still life painting.

The Fledglings

The Fledglings
5"x7" original oil
Premium Canvas Board
Standard size for easy, economical, framing!

Available in my online store

These three older Red Cardinal fledglings
verify the proverb from the 16th century that
''birds of a feather 'flock' together''
although... back in the day,
it was actually often translated as 'flye' together...
These three are ready to take flight!

Sunrise On Chicken Hill

Sunrise On Chicken Hill
11" x 14 oil on canvas

Available in my online store

There is so much to enjoy in this
early morning farm scene,
the warm light of the rising sun,
the fence along the neighboring woods,
a pair of aged grain silo's up the hill in
the distance, the corner of the vintage barn
with stone foundation, and some
friendly chickens foraging on the hill.

As an artist one must be observant of
the way light reacts with a subject. In
the brilliant light of the rising sun the
light is almost blinding. It spreads it's
halo of a warm glow over the land
and everything it touches.
