Noble Apple 6" by 6" original oil on wrap around canvas with 3/4 inch sides painted. "Surely the apple is the noblest of fruits." -- Henry David Thoreau, Wild Apples
Not only is it a noble fruit but oh so good for you! Remember your mother telling you that an apple a day keeps the doctor away? I had a great day today painting with my friend, Barbara. She worked on a beautiful sunset and I had fun with my palette knife and was inspired by the apple I got at Panera's today at lunch. As you can see I was in the mood for color! This painting is 70.00 plus 6.50 shipping and handling. You can click on the buy it now button or be the first to e-mail me at [email protected].

Tropical Dream

Tropical Dream 12" by 16" oil on wrap around canvas with sides painted This painting was a joy to paint as I have spent a couple of wonderful tropical vacations in such scenic places and have lived near the ocean all my adult life. Can't you just see yourself sipping something cool and refreshing while scanning the scene for some dolphins? Have you ever swam with the dolphins? That is SO COOL! I'd love to it again. My friend Barbara came today and we painted together with Ella Fitzgerald and Michael Buble playing to give us inspiration. I did manage to get paint all over me as usual. You would think after all this time...I could keep it on the brush. I also worked on two other pieces which will you will be seeing in the next couple of days. I am loving my new Canon Powershot camera and took some great pictures of the cook today at Kyoto's Japanese restaurant. I plan to do a painting of him too!

Wren In My Garden
I have really been enjoying painting birds lately. I think I just have spring on my mind. All is in bloom here with profusions of azaleas and dogwood. Last week I purchased a new canon powershot camera with 10 megapixels and this is my first painting to be photographed and posted using it! I am SO pleased with it as the pictures are so much clearer and it is so compact! I can fit it in my jean pocket and take it every where! This piece can be purchased directly for 70.00 plus 4.50 shipping and handling.

Ain't Nothin' But A Hound Dog! 5" by 7" original oil on wrap around canvas with sides painted.
Such a face!!! What would we do without animals in our lives??? I just spent the weekend with my son and his puppy, Jet, who is a VERY energetic black lab. You just can't help smiling and laughing out loud when in the presence of such an energetic ball of love. A great time was had by all and the next best thing for me is to paint animals! Hope you enjoy this painting and is you are interested in having a special pet in your life immortalized, let me know! This sweet little basset painting is available for 70.00 plus 6.50 s & h.

Male Chaffinch Bird

Male Chaffinch Bird 6" by 6" original oil on gallery wrap canvas with sides painted. It was really cold tonight at Andrew's soccer game. They lost. Next one is Thursday night. I did manage to do a painting today of a sweet little finch that is very common in Britain and around other parts of Europe. I loved his subtle color and markings and had fun painting him! Since my taxes are ready to go to the accountant and I am all caught up with errands, I should be able to spend much of my day in my studio tomorrow painting! Yeah! Hope your week going great. I want to share a quote with you that I found today. Denis Waitley:

Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude.
