Pit

sold

Pretty shiny yummy things.

Miltomate

5"x7"

Tis the time of year for hovering over seedlings, urging them to grow. Can't wait for summer and a harvest of these!

Jelly

5"x7"

Sweets to the sweet.

Hyacinths in a Creamer

8"x10"

An adorable little creamer I just *had* to have, lovely pink hyacinths from the front yard, brilliant overhead light.....

WIP

Grey Hoodie

5"x7"

Just doodling.

The Big Tree

5"x7"

Something different for me- and I'm awfully proud of how it came out!

Lighter

5"x7"
Sometimes I just paint whatever is close at hand!

Blueberry Flowers

5"x7"

Something tiny and perfect and just right at this time of year.

Mango and Blue Shadow

5"x7"

It's become apparent that my favorite color is phthalo blue. It really makes the other colors glow!

Skull and Reflection

5"x7"
I feel good about this little peculiarity.

Garlic

5"x7"

I can't ever resist when there's the pretty reddish-purple striped garlic at the co-op/

a little bitty self portrait, with an old brush and a new-to-me mirror.

The Masked Ball

11"x14"
sold

A truly fancy kitty cat this evening.... and I'm all done painting my silly animals for a little while.

Chamellia

8"x10"
sold

Oh this is just too perfect. The boston terrier had me enjoying painting a critter that can look in all directions at once, which logically enough led to a chameleon with a peacock feather in her hat.

A Redheaded Lady

8"x16"
sold

I believe this is the first time a fox has come by the studio to pose for me....

Gentle Lady

11"x14"
sold

I particularly like her wig. Although now I'm wondering if she shouldn't be smaller, and the wig way bigger.

Merci

11"x14"
sold

One of my favorite ladies got a new dress, and just HAD to come by and pose in it.

Monsieur

9"x12"

You'll be seeing a nice little group of dressed up animals over the next few days, I think.

I needed to paint something peaceful today.

Two Peaches

5"x7"

Plum

5"x7"

A little compositional experiment.

Naranja

8"x10"
sold

A little study in contrasts. One matte and subtle and white, one vivid and simple and so alive.

The Origin of Fire

11"x14"
sold

I don't usually have much of a narrative in my paintings, but I started this one for the mythology auction, and I absolutely love the feeling of it.

Floating

5"x7"
sold

The other painting I did for the Strange Dreams Collective's Mythology Auction. Tiny little thing, but lots of beauty there.

Octopus Woman's Daughter

Oh wow. I did this one for the Mythology Auction for the Strange Dreams Art Group, and I'm rather in love with her. Water and branching beautiful vegetation and a beautiful creature. Octopus Woman is a wonderful strong character in the mythology of the Pacific Northwest First Nations people.
