"Lavender Blue" is a scene from Provence, with it's glorious lavender fields.  This painting in pastel is 8.5 x 11.5", done on 400 UArt paper.  If you've ever had the chance to go to Provence, I hope you were able to see some of these fields in bloom!

 "Lavender in Provence" is an 8 x 10" pastel on LaCarte pastel paper.  This scene was painted from two photographs taken in Provence.  I wanted the lavender fields, of course, but love all the little villages in France and wanted to represent one of them.  Hope you enjoy this scene--perhaps reminiscent of a trip you may have taken.

This end of day watercolor landscape is painted on 140# Lanaquarelle paper.  It's 9 1/4" wide by 6 1/4" high.  I hope you can feel the cool sand contrasting with the warmth of the light at the horizon.  

Queen Anne's Lace

 

Queen Anne's Lace

Queen Anne's Lace is an 8 x 8 pastel on UArt paper.  Many people view this flower as a weed as it grows rampantly in meadows and along roadsides.  But I love it and like to incorporate it in bouquets from my garden for a light, airy look.  

Just an Apple

"Just an Apple"

This 8 x 8" pastel painting is that ripe, juicy apple that you're always looking for when you go apple picking in an orchard.  You really need that kind of source when you're looking for an image to paint, because you hardly every find a beautiful apple in the grocery store that still has a nice stem and leaves, and that contributes so much to the composition and interest.  I really loved the shadow the leaf was throwing on this apple.  Check my website to see where this is being offered for sale.  Thanks for looking! 

Just a Pear

"Just a Pear"

 A simple pear painting perfect for your kitchen or dining area. Wonderful seasonal decor. Lucious, ripe pear ready to be picked. Pastel just seemed to be the perfect medium for this piece.  It's 8 x 8" on LaCarte pastel paper.

WATERCOLOR~ SUNFLOWER DUO

 

"Sunflower Duo" is an impressionistic watercolor of sunflowers grown in my own yard!  This piece is 9.5" high and 7.5" wide, painted on 140# Arches watercolor paper. It was so much fun to see these grow, and they withstood one very windy storm!
