Soaring High
How do you paint “movement/action”… see it in this painting of an Owl soaring high above the trees, and the fog is coming in. You can see the snow covered mountain tops in the back ground

Sterling Alley’s Sawmill in Garden Valley Idaho – 20”w by 14½”h print
Sterling Alley was a mountain man living in Garden Valley, Idaho. He enjoyed a high status and respect in the community. He owned a saw mill with an old pickup sitting out in the field. While living alone in Garden Valley, I commuted to Boise each day to work for over five years. On several […]
Great Blue Heron – 24”w by 18”h print
Great Blue Heron You may see the largest heron standing silently, statue-like, stalking fish and other prey in shallow water, rivers, lakeshores or when the rivers are high…cruising neighborhood ponds. They may move slowly but can strike like lightning with the-fast thrust of the neck and head as they stab with their strong bills to […]

Flight of the Seagulls – 24”w by 14 7/8”h print
Flight of the Seagulls My fascination with birds both as an owner and in the wild started in childhood and continues today. One afternoon I was walking with my son on Newport Beach in California with the waves crashing in on my feet, powerful gusts of wind were blowing hard, the sunlight gave iridescence to […]

Little Brown Church In The Wildwood print
Little Brown Church – I attended “The Little Brown Church” while living on Walden’s Ridge, Signal Mountain in Tennessee. It was a seasonal community church that was only open in the summer months. On Sunday morning the front doors were left open and children rang the large bell by pulling on ropes…dogs frequented the services where each […]

Coral Geisha
Sapphire – 10”h x 20”w print
Chiseled from ice and frozen snow she is a creature of nature’s extremity. Moonlight and shadows reveal the drama of her captured form in the starkness of white and the austerity of cold that burns. Saphire is part of the “Ephemeral Woman” series – “born of the earth and emerges as gemstone”
Black Geisha – 16”w by 20”h print
“Geisha … on Red Tapestry” Even with the warmth of her magnificent coat of white ermine and a Pearlized leaf design, her eyes radiate the coldness of her heart!
Red Geisha – 10”w by 20”h print
Geisha … the “Art of Seduction!” Geishas are traditional Japanese artist-entertainers. Geishas were considered works of art. Their elegant performances of traditional Japanese dance, singing, playing instruments such as the three-stringed “shamisen”, the intricate Japanese Tea Ceremony or educated conversation are all achieved with beautiful presentation. They were most popular in the 18th and 19th […]
Madga – 13¾”w by 20¾” h print
“Madga…in the Lace Veil” A sophisticated German spy during the 1940’s with cold blue eyes that impart innocence and a haunting invitation. She wears a black velvet turban with a black lace veil to add to her mystic!
Lady in Red – 10”w by 20”h print
Lady in Red …Of course, her manner was gracious…after all she was a true “Southern Lady”! Her eyes project an innocence of life but her fiery red feathers and vintage dress flirt with a by-gone era of Scarlett O’Hara and a time lost but not forgotten. As the artist for this painting, I must say […]

Pearl – 10”h x 20”w print
Light defines her opaque curves and reflects on her alabaster skin. A soft copper mane crowns her beauty. Mother Earth presents her as a delicate illusion. She is fantasy like…Sleeping Beauty, unable to open her eyes…waiting for the magic kiss! Pearl is part of the “Ephemeral Woman” series – “born of the earth and emerges as gemstone”
Black Joe
My “Black Joe Story”….The painting and this story are from “my memory” when I was 4 years old in 1945. I was living in the Deep South…Chattanooga, Tennessee. At that time in history not all families had the same beliefs as mine. I grew up in a family with no racial prejudices, after all my […]
