January Sunset, 8x8"

Here in Illinois, there isn't a whole lot to look at other than snow these days.  Sometimes the sunlight makes wonderful patterns that are quite dazzling.  This is the scene outside my back window today.

Twilight, 8x8"

My favorite time of the day is the moment the lights come up while there is still a glow in the sky. 

Twilight.

Sunday Morning, Cambridge 8x8"

It's hard to beat Cambridge Massachusetts on a Sunday morning in the fall.  The architecture, the boutiques, the Harvard bells tolling in the distance.  Emily and I were lucky to catch what was probably the last great autumn weekend of the year!

Head of the Charles Regatta, 8x8" (Sold)

Here is another small painting of the Regatta in Boston this last weekend.

Regatta on the Charles, 8x8" (Sold)

This past weekend I visited my daughter Emily in Cambridge, and it just so happened that the Head of the Charles Regatta took place at the same time.  What a carnival!  Streets in Boston were closed to make room for the hordes of race watchers, food stalls, and rides.  The weather was perfect-- crisp and sunny.  It was the perfect New England spectacle!

Sun Over Mt Sopris, 8x8" (Sold)

This is the last of my Mt Sopris "miniseries".  The area is so beautiful, I couldn't paint just one!

This painting will be up for auction at the Colorado Rocky Mountain School fundraiser on October 15.

John and Anne's Truck, 8x8" (Sold)

The founders of the Colorado Rocky Mountain School drove a truck from Vermont in 1953 to settle and set up their school near Carbondale.  The truck still sits in a place of honor on the campus!

This painting will be up for auction at the CRMS fundraiser on October 15.

Mt Sopris, Late Summer, 8x8" (Sold)

Our youngest son Jordan is finishing high school in Colorado.  He loves it there.  For art class, he elected to take blacksmithing.  His school sport is mountain biking-- a bit of a departure from life here in Illinois! Campus is in the shadow of Mt Sopris, which I couldn't resist painting last time we were there.

This painting will be auctioned at the Colorado Rocky Mountain School fundraiser on October 15.

Rain in the Woods, 8x8" (Sold)

This is the other plein air painting I completed in the rain at the Crabtree Paint Out.  A week later now, and my gear is just about dried out from the excursion!  Sure, there was some hardship involved that day, but I'm so glad that I didn't miss out on the beauty of that quiet spot.

Edge of the Prairie, 8x8" (Sold)

Can you tell that this little painting was created in a downpour?  Last Sunday's Crabtree Forest Paint Out was nearly washed out by rain, but a surprising number of hearty souls braved the weather with good cheer, and it turned out to be a fantastic day.  Dear husband John stuck with me the whole day-- we resembled a couple of whalers from Nantucket in our rain gear!  We trekked way out to the prairie where the adverse weather toned the grass and wildflowers into glowing fall color.  It was worth the trip!

Orange You Blue? 8x8"

I've entered a dangerous phase in my life-- ordering antique glass objects on Ebay!  The "buy" button on my computer just seems to click itself.  This is an antique inkwell that is one of my newest acquisitions.

Veggie Lineup 8x8"

Please email me for purchase info

Artichokes are by far my favorite vegetable-- I even have a couch covered in artichoke fabric!  Pretty tough to paint though.  I think there must be at least five coats of paint on this one.

Yellow Roses, 8x8" SOLD

What could be more beautiful than a vase full of yellow roses?  OK, I'll admit it, I'm pretty lucky to have a husband who keeps the house in fresh flowers all the time.  But as we all know, the beauty of flowers is fleeting, so I'll try to capture them in paint whenever I can.

Simplicity, 8x8"

Click Here For Purchase Information

I started this composition with an antique glass Clorox bottle and scattered a few items around it.  It reminds me of a simpler, less complicated era.

Ski Town, USA 8x8" SOLD

Vacations mean a fresh perspective.  While the family was off skiing, I walked the quiet streets of Breckenridge, soaking up the sun and the fresh air.  At the end of the day, the slopes would empty out and the streets filled up with the bustle and chatter of happy ski bums, making the quiet moments seem even sweeter.

Show Stoppers, 8x8" SOLD

Poppies are the ultimate show stoppers.  I can never walk by them.  For this painting, I applied the paint quite liberally with a palette knife to get the colors as vibrant as possible.

Proceeds from the sale of this painting will be donated to the American Red Cross for earthquake relief.
