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,
one of my favorite places. The Tetons Rockies are amazing in spring.
But beautiful and majestic in all seasons.
