Tranquil Morning

A transparent winged dragonfly sits on a 

windswept vine of delicate blossoms, 

against a golden-pink sunrise.

Painted for Dana Marie's Rendition Me This 

Tranquil Journey challenge.

I am enjoying her challenges because they push me

 in a different direction in my painting,

one that I find very interesting.

I also entered this painting in DPW's "Insect" challenge.

I was surprised and happy to see the theme fit this work,

as I haven't had much time to paint since I am leaving soon

on an extended road trip (see post below).

Road Trip    

I will be going on an extended road trip through the western US, to take photos, painting plein air, and just visiting wonderful places. I will be taking my laptop with me, so that I can post; and check my blog and email occasionally -  whenever I am in a hotspot. 

Paintings may still  be purchased through Paypal, but please allow up to 6 weeks for delivery.

The Spotted Teapot

Painted for DPW's "Polka Dot" challenge.

A brightly colored painting (after Josephine Trotter) 

sets a blue spotted teapot and lively pears 

on waves of tablecloth against vivid blue wall.

In following her style, I particularly liked her use of 

primary colors and her compositional movement.

Spring Storm in the Tetons

Painted this from a photo I took while in Western Wyoming,

But beautiful and majestic in all seasons.
