Roses on Antique Linen
I originally began this painting for DPW's White on White challenge
presented by Ann Feldman. But somewhere in the process of the painting,
the muse took over ,and the white roses and white bowl took on the color you see.
I liked it better this way and decided to keep it this way.
She did allow about 15% color, but I think this exceeds that number...

Waiting and Watching!
I painted this for DPW's challenge this week,
which is to incorporate the wonderful color
called "Tangerine Tango" (the color of the year) in the painting.
For some time now,
I've wanted to paint a child,
anticipating the return from war,
of her father.
This challenge was a perfect opportunity.
So I dressed this little girl,
who is anxiously waiting at the window'
for her father's homecoming,
in a bright "Tangerine Tango" sweater.

Rogue River
The Rogue River in southwestern Oregon,
is a wild and very scenic river
which is noted for its white water rafting
and old mail boats which used to deliver mail,
but now just take tourists on excursions
down this beautiful river.
I painted this from one of the photos I took
when traveling in this part of my wonderful state,
because it depicts the rugged shoreline and
the glorious blue green water, and wild white water rapids.

In Case of Fire!
Painted for Bill Guffey's Virtual Paintout Challenge.

I knew I wanted to paint it for the
Breckenridge, Colorado street view challenge.

Oregon's High Desert Beauty
Even though Oregon is known for its lush evergreen forests and
snowy Cascade peaks, and beautiful coastal mountains and
rugged beaches; it surprises many people to know
that Oregon is almost 4/5ths high desert.
A wild and lovely landscape where an abundance of wildlife roam,
from wild horses, wolves, big horn sheep, bears, and coyotes to name a few.
The brush and shrub, trees and wildflowers
come in a vast array of colors during every season.
I painted this picture from a photo I took
while traveling through this picturesque landscape.
