"Twelve Disciples"

This is the second painting I entered in the competition - my favorite of the two.  It is measured 24" X 36" oil on canvas. The twelve poplar trees in this piece represent the twelve disciples in the Bible whose role is to carry a message of hope to people around the world.  The foliage of diverse sizes and levels in the painting represents people of all faiths; the different races and opinions; the diversity that makes the world interesting and unique. The main structure represents the church or the sanctuary where everyone is invited to gather and learn from each other; a place that offers rest for the weary, help for the lost, food for the hungry, help for all. The blue door on the building represents calm and relaxation. The moon, which is larger than normal, provides a bright light to show the way. The artist uses many colors in this painting, but is careful to make sure that they all relate to each other and co-exist well in the painting together.

"I Am Who I Am"

Just completed this painting "I Am Who I Am" measured 24" X 36" oil on canvas.  This is one of my two Spriritual Series Paintings that I entered last Wednesday night for a competition in San Francisco, California.  Should know by the end of May if I got accepted.  In this painting there is a lot of movement within this painting. The use of diagonal lines in the plowed field, the contour of the green field in the foreground and the road leading to the structures represent the busy lives we all lead and the endless activities each of us face each day – always doing something till we feel exhausted. The buildings represent a sanctuary – a place to get away from the hustle and bustle of life, a place that offers solitude, peace and rest.

"Kricket"

Just completed a painting of  "Kricket" that a husband commissioned me to do to give to his wife today for their anniversary.  It is measured 16" X 20" and it is done in acrylics.  He specified that I used colors thru out the paintings - he saw it and love it!!!! Thank You Bob!!

"Jerod"

This is a demonstration I did of a pet portrait with one of my student.  Doing pet portraits is my favorite - much easier to do than people.  I love using colors in pet portraits based on their personality.  I am booked up right now until August before I can do another pet portrait so if you are looking for one to give at Christmas - please reserve your space soon!!!
