Ollie
48"x24"
Oil on canvas with 24 carat goldleaf
$2,880

I designed Ollie as the Joker for my deck of cards based on a garden theme. I liked him so much I decided to do this painting of him.

Lost in Space
20"x20"
Oils, Acrylic Inks on wood panel
$1,000

This painting honors our son's two ferrets, who were true explorers. Taking that theme to the limit, I pictured them traveling through space, where no ferret has gone before.

Behind the 8 Ball
36'X36"
Oil on Canvas
$3,240

Tigers and Pool, stripes and solids, seem to go together...a balanced painting

Bubble Baby
24"x18"
Oil on canvas, embellished with 24 carat goldleaf
$1,080

A heron's equivalent to a pack 'n play, a Mama doing her best to keep her baby safe. Inspired by Leyendecker.

Leap Frog
24"x18"
Oil on Canvas
$1,080

When I think of jumping through a hoop, my mind goes to "frog"; clowning around with a circus theme. Another painting inspired by Leyendecker.

Beach House
43"x36"
Mixed Media on Canvas
$3,870

One of those times when a vision just pops in my head as I am looking at something. In this case, I was studying the lilies in my garden.

No Strings Attached

12"x12"
Mixed Media on Canvas
SOLD

Baby Mockingbirds nested near our deck. I embellished their nest in my painting of them with some colorful shoestrings.

Goat Tee
48"x24"
Mixed Media on Canvas
$2,880.

While on Hawaii we saw wild goats everywhere. This one posed for me as I pulled over to take a photo. She was on the edge of a golf course, and since she had a goatee, I saw the irony of adding a golf ball on a tee.

Hide and Seek
12" x 12"
Oil on Canvas
$432
SOLD

What if...a baby chick wanted to hide in your bathroom?

Tiger Lily
24" x 48"

Playing around with words.

Bring in the Clowns

Playing around with what "under the sea" might look like to an artist.

Slow Down
40" x 30"
Mixed Media on Canvas
$3,000

Another What If...? What if snails were asked to slow down? I went to sleep thinking of African snails after seeing them on the animal channel and woke up with this painting complete in my head.

Bessie's Exhibit at the Ski Lodge
48" x 48"
Mixed Media on Canvas
$5,760

Walking through the barns at the state fair, I came across these cows. All I could see was mountain tops and Ski slopes.

Dollar Night at the Wysox
48"x 60"
Mixed Media on Canvas
$8,640.
SOLD

My dad loved Canada geese and kept journals of the ones that came back to the small lake on his farm each year. This painting represents him with his five children. On dollar night he would pack us in the car and take us to the Wysox drive-in, especially when a John Wayne movie was playing.

New World Order
36" x 36"
Oil on Canvas
$ 3,888.
SOLD

This painting is a light-hearted attempt at realizing things are not always as they appear.

Full Deck
48"x36"
Oil on Canvas
$5,184.

Sitting on the deck one day, I had the rare opportunity of photographing a full finch feeder. I took a little artistic license with color.

Starry Knight
SOLD
20"x30"
Mixed media
$1,800.

I often try to relate to the subjects I paint. If I were a sea dragon, this is what my life would look like, floating around in a Van Gogh setting. Having painted her in a Van Gogh-ish technique, it is very different from my other sea dragon paintings.

Kismet
24"x48"-Mixed Media
$2,016.

This is a story about two souls meeting, so enamored with each other, that they are oblivious to their surroundings, even the potential of a map leading them to a hidden treasure. The simplicity of their love is all they need.

$1,400.
SOLD

This painting represents my granddaughter Freya, still forming in her mother's womb, soon to emerge into her new life to mesmerize and enchant us all.

Bo Peep and the Moon Jumpers
30"x28"- Mixed media

Flashbacks from a book of children's fables I had as a child. I tried to recreate it, from memory, since the book has been gone for ages. A lot of emotion embedded in this piece and therefore, one of my favorites.
