Moo


"Moo" was painted at a wine and paint with Carole Foret. I have never painted cows before which made this alot of fun. I love the mix of colors that are not true to the coloring of a real cow.

Home


I love this because it reminds me of spring and the newness of everything waking up from a long winter. I painted this at a Highlife retreat with Karen Smith as our instructor.

Veggies Galore


Veggies Galore was my first attempt to paint on artist board. I really enjoyed the feel to it and the final piece. The nice thing about the board is it is light weight and has a groove on the back to hang it. You could also put it on an easel.
This painting is on Artist Board.

Its a Wonderful World


I painted this at Carole Foret's Creative Spirit class. We painted the song Its a Wonderful World. I put alot of colors on the canvas first and the painting started looking like a sunset. I LOVE the beach so this ws so inspiring to me.

Abstract Crosses

This was painted at a wine and paint with Carole Foret. I loved this class. I wanted to paint the crosses because I collect them. I have lots of color in my house so these fit right in. My next attempt will be a little more neutral.

High Five


"High Five" is my second attempt at Big Al. My kids loved the first one so I felt encouraged to try again. It is a challenge to me to paint the crowd because you cannot see the faces.
