Fire in the Sky

Image
Trying a new technique and a new style for fun. The result was "Fire in the Sky," and explosion of a sunset over mountains and a little stream.  

Portofino Prelude

Image
A piece of art, paint on canvas Colors chosen to show the famous harbor At his loveliest Where fishing boats sail toward faraway hills And tourists mingle with Italian locals Seeking a courtyard where they can rest and enjoy View of the teal waters And the red and orange and yellow and pink houses A prelude, a wish, a longing For a time when I can visit Portofino, alive and splendid

Blue Bicycle at the Beach

Image
 Blue Bicycle at the Beach is an 16x20" acrylic painting. I repurposed an old canvas my daughter, Jill, gave to me of a painting she needed to let go of. I hope you like it!

Postcards

 Joan gave me these Artist Postcards for Christmas. So here's my first two creations. Fun!

The Good Father

Image
 “The Good Father” is an acrylic painting from a photo of my son-in-law, Perry, carrying Mathilde and Evelyn near the end of a long hike down to Barton Creek. I hope it reminds us to spend time with our loved ones out in nature. The Good Father

Bicycles and Butterflies Mug

Image
 Really please with how these mugs came out. I've been working on the theme, Bicycles and Butterflies, and this is my first product. Each mug features two of my original paintings, "Monarch on a Coneflower" and "A Red Bicycle on a Pink Wall."

Bienvenida a mi Casita

Image
"Bienvenida a mi Casita" - "Welcome to my Little house" For me, this small 8x8 acrylic on canvas evokes images of Southwestern art in New Mexico. It reminds me of a little house in Santa Fe where I lived as a child or the house we recently stayed at in Taos.  

A Red Bicycle on a Pink Wall

Image
This acrylic painting on a 12 x 12 stretched canvas seems to strike a chord with a lot of people. Some see a little taste of the Mediterranean or New Mexico. A friend told me that this make her happy and reminds her of Chile where she lived for a time. Another friend told me it brings to mind a red Schwinn she once owned. All of your comments make me especially happy!  Buy this wall art today! See More Bicycle Art on Fine Art America: bicycle art  

Check out my new book!

I am excited to announce the release of my new book,  Carry Your Love to the World , now available on Amazon as a paperback or e-book. Please consider it for your next read!  Click here to check it out on Amazon What began as a song,  Carry Your Love to The World , became a study of the cycles of change centered around four paintings I created depicting the verses of the song. (see below). The book can be used as an individual or group study or simply as a nice browse through paintings, inspirational quotes and stimulating discussions. The paperback edition is most helpful as it provides space for answering questions and jotting notes. But I must say that the e-book is pretty cute, especially with Kindle for iPad where you will enjoy the vivid, colorful paintings!  Chapter I: The River   calling for a deeper gratitude for our beautiful world. Chapter II: Freedom  explores what it means to be free and how we can develop a deeper appreciation for the freedoms...
