"Palm Sunday"

The red for the Passion, the green for the palm..

Good Friday

The worness and the colors reminded me of good Friday.

Faded Flowers

I love the colors on this one. I lost count on the number of layers. I love when the paintings take on a life of their own.

Water

Oil and enamel on canvas. 12" x 12" this one has so many layers that I lost count... The blues made me think of the deep water.... And water is always a recurring theme with me... I just added a little bit of gold, I thought it needed something...

Cursive "F"

I will be posting one painting a day as I finish them. This cursive "F" is a birthday present for a very dear friend. I love the way the brown is peaking out behind the blues and greens. Belongs near the ocean (:

Evolving beauty

Each day I add (or subtract) layers to the pairings... Watching them evolve is exciting..this is layer 3..

New "aged" paintings series

I am so excited about my new series of paintings.... They are weathered oils, and I will be posting them as I finish each one.
