just a path to somewhere....24"x30" oil...the mountains are really not aqua...more cobalt blue...gotta pay more attention to my photography 'skills'
this is delicious...glazes of acrylics...24:x36"...a stream on one of my hikes in these mountains...I love running water...facts+fiction+feelings=visual metaphor (robert burridge quote that I love)
another of those 16"x20"acrylic plein aire...zacchary tolberts'
Zacchary Tolberts historical home in cashiers nc did some demos in acrylic plein aire...16X20...acrylic
Black Balsom...off the blue ridge parkway...how heavenly---literally...24"x48"
:Pink skies...another 24"x48" acrylic of the french broad...this is an interesting, dynamic size to work with..so I did 5...of course
another in the 24"x48" series..all in acrylic..all lovely texture...french broad river..this painting actually factually is much more colorful
the three sisters...I used to have a baby raccoon when I was a little girl...when she grew up---well, let's just say you cant keep a big raccoon in the house! 24"x24" oil
encaustic is a magical medium...this one is of a field in Mills River/NC..24"x24"
my favorite place in the whole world! Lake Toxaway River Walk...I've painted a zillion paintings..and probably a zillion more to come! this one is really square 36"x36"oils
36"x36" oil...french broad river....state road 64 on the way to Lake Toxaway..rather a pitiful photo..the water is much deeper blue
so this is the beginning of a series of 4'x5' paintings that I have done from my inspiration of hurricane irene...there are nine in this series...I usually paint in warm colors but because of the water/wind/interatction between the water and the land I began in cool colors....
My journey as a painter has carried me through the dramas of raising six children, earning a doctorate in education (FAU), a dozen moves, marriage to THE golf course architect Tom (32 years and still counting).
Painting is how my passion meets the world. I paint because I need and am excited with the challenge. I sell my paintings and prints because I need space and all the proceeds benefit our hometown Boys & Girls Club of Hendersonville, North Carolina that Tom and I founded in 1993.
