Ian Climbing the Slide


This is my grandson Ian about 7 years ago.  I recently saw this particular slide again and was surprised how small it was.  It sure didn't grow with the kid.

Puzzling State of the Nation


This is a mixed media collage of jigsaw puzzle pieces, shimmery red fabric and acrylic paint.  It won second prize in a juried show at the Plaza Gallery in Healdsburg this year.

Secondhand Lion

The reason I call him Secondhand Lion is that I painted him on a canvas I had been using as a palette, which gives his face such wonderful texture and undertones of colors you might not otherwise expect in a lion's face.  You will soon discover I am hung up on lions.  To see a close-up, click on the painting.

Clouds and Vines


This is a scene that literally stopped me in my tracks.  I caught it out of the corner of my eye then had to back up and turn into this road and grab my camera.  The clouds were amazing and the patch of sun on the Spring vines was just yelling "Paint this!".  It's off Dutcher Creek Road, a few miles north of my town.  This one doesn't need framing because the painting continues around the edges.
