Texas summer produce some intense clouds with an electricity you can feel on your skin. this is one of them. This image is 10x10 in oil.summer

thunderclouds

I love thunderstorms and the clouds they produce, the electricity in the air is so refreshing and energizing. This prompts me to paint as soon as it clears.

wine bottles

I don't drink-not a drop-but I think wine bottles clustered together are really interesting. I have done quite a few versions of this and find that people, especially wine buffs, like them. This image is oil/canvas and is 12x24,gallery wrapped

flowers and old gate

I never consider myself a flower painter, but when spring rolls around, I can't seem to help it; I have to paint some flowers.

old cypress

the cypress trees that grow alongside the lake are so huge and fascinating! I especially like the cypress "knees" that grow all along the base of the tree. They look like little people to me. This image is 16x20 on canvas/oil

thistle

This is just a weed, at least everyone I know says they are, but I think that the color of the thistle is a wonder to behold. We have lots of them this year, due to plenty of rain during the winter and early spring. This image is oil on canvas and is 12x12.

Autumn aspen

I grew up with birch trees in the north east, and the Aspen must be a first cousin,they look so much alike. I like the sound of the wind in the leaves, especially in fall when the leaves are yellow. In summer, the leaves are a pale green underneath;almost a bluey green. Beautiful no matter what season. This image is 14x18 and beautifully framed.
