Golden Fields
Original oil on hardboard
22″ x 30″

In the wide open spaces and rolling hills of the West, the farm buildings stand out. I love the contrast of the wheat fields against the forever blue sky. And a barn adds just the right touch of a balancing red.

 

Red Fields
Original oil on hardboard
22″ x 30″
$2,800

My drives across eastern Washington give mile after mile of farm fields baking in summer’s heat. The reds emphasize the inescapable heat, a welcoming change–at least for a while–to Seattle’s coolness.

Lily and Buds
Original oil on hardboard

Two Fuchsias
Original oil on hardboard

In Tuscany, at the right time of year, poppies pop up everywhere in the countryside and give such a welcome splash of color to the rolling hills.

 

 

 

Two Poppies and Bud
Original oil on hardboard
24″ x 18″
$1,800
Here today, gone tomorrow. Poppies have such short lives. But, oh, the colors that dance in the wind! What cheery reds to bring indoors–in a vase or on a wall.

 

 

Three Poppies Plus
Original oil on hardboard
42″ x 30″
$3,500
Poppies have such happy, bold colors, and their large petals on wire-thin stems seem to defy nature. How can they hold those flowers up? I love playing with them in the paintings, arranging forms to tell a story. Here, they seem to be having an intimate discussion – maybe about that little one yet to open.

 

Still Serving

10″ x 15″
$450

 

 

 

Poppy and Petal
Original oil on hardboard
36″ x 15″
$2,500
I’m having fun here, a little bit of whimsy. What is that petal doing? Floating by? About to drop “in”? Carrying a message from above? Creating a story that you finish?

 

 

Little Red Barn
Original oil on hardboard
8″ x 6″
SOLD

 

Hibiscus
Original oil on hardboard
18″ x 24″
$1,500
My hibiscus bloomed in November and gave me the chance to capture its flowers in a late-year painting, a cheery reminder of blossoms to come the next year.

Trillium with Bud
Original oil on hardboard
24″ x 18″

My former house came with a profusion of trillium, and I always looked forward to their white blooms in the spring. When I moved, I took some of the plants from the yard with me, and now I continue to celebrate their flowering – in my garden, as well as in my paintings.
