Happy November

I love all the different varieties of pumpkins.

So many shades of so many colors.

Hope you had a Happy Halloween.

I love the fall weather, and Thanksgiving is 

my most favorite holiday.

Thanks for stopping by.

Eggplants

8x8, oil on canvas

$100.00

I couldn't wait to get home from the farm to paint

these cute little eggplants.

I love their irregular shapes and purple hues.

They were so fun to paint, and just as delicious to eat.

Hope you are all having a wonderful Labor Day Weekend.

Lavender Farm

Lavender Farm

10x8 oil on canvas

$75.00

We just returned from Oregon and saw such beautiful

lavender on the Hood River.

It was a highlight of the trip to watch the lavender blowing in the wind

with the mountains in the background.

And the smell!  Oh my.

This is my first painting from the trip. 

There will be more coming, I'm sure.

Have a happy day!

Beaufort Porch

115.00

There is something about an American Flag on a house 

that grabs my eye.  I came across this one on my morning

walk in Beaufort, NC.

Wishing you all a Happy Memorial Day!

I am so thankful to so many that gave their lives for 

our freedom and safety.

Thank you!

Baby Chucks

Baby Chucks

8x8, oil on canvas

$100

These tiny Chuck Taylors were a Christmas gift for our 

grand daughter who was born just 3 days ago.

They remind me of her dad, who had Chucks in

every color as a boy.

Painting this brought me so much happiness,

as I reminisced her dad on his riding toys 

and using the rubber tips for the brakes.

So, now a new chapter begins with so much love

for this tiny, newborn little girl.

Healing and Joy

Healing and Joy

22x28 oil on canvas

Not for Sale

This painting is a gift for my sister.  

She has spent most of the last year healing 

and learning to forgive.

She has made new friends and grown so much

both emotionally and spiritually.

I am so proud of her and the way

 she has found new joys in life.

She loves to open her home to her friends.

I hope this painting will bring her happiness

 and joy for many years.

Monet's Boat

Monet's boat

10x10 oil on canvas

$100.00

Remembering our trip to France last May,

and one of the highlights was Monet's garden in Giverny.

I used artistic license to make the boat more colorful.

I tried to capture the light and the mood of being there.

Claude Monet created this beautiful garden just so he 

could paint it.  Wow!

I think I will try this again and change the boat color,

maybe red or yellow.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a great day!

St. John's

St. John's

8x10 oil on canvas

$85.00

I love this old church that is in the NC mountains.

St. John's Episcopal Church in Valle Crucis, NC.

It sits on a hillside down a curvy, country road.  

It was founded in 1862, and they still hold services there 

during the summer months.

Thank you, David Hill, for the photo reference.

Happy Sunday friends!
