Morning Has Broken: Acrylic on Canvas

Simple Americana

Image
Inspired by the quaint houses surrounding my son's elementary school... with lush gardens, beautiful porches and benches... This quiet neighborhood is a feast for the eyes at various times of the year... in the spring the wind whispers through the lovely trees. The well kept lawns are a live with children playing throughout the summer... and in the winter time the trees are draped with strings of lights as far as the eye can see. There's so much inspiration that I took my camera on a trip one day... and here is the first completed painting... "Simple Americana"

World Treasures and Memories

I Love Traveling, But I also love to hear about other's travels. That's why I love getting e-mails, blogs and photos sent from friends and family who travel. My cousin and her soon-to-be husband traveled around the world last year, taking many photos along the way. Several of the images sent to me have inspired a World Class Travel collection... Images that scream "Take me away" to a remote tropical location, or captures the heart of another culture. These paintings are the ideal way to capture a memory, a feeling, a sense of escape that can only be explained or remembered by those experiencing it. Using a few photographs, a memento or a few descriptive words, a composition can be created just for you.

Art and Architecture

There are so many interesting objects in life. Man (or Woman) made, mechanical, or built into a natural setting. This collection of artwork celebrates art and architecture. Buildings, Architecture, Engineering Marvels, and Wonders that the Eyes can Wonder about... These artworks are ideal for public spaces, home office, or just sheer personal enjoyment.... Customized to fit any color scheme, any theme or represent your industry...

Nature, Trees and Botanicals: Studies from Nature... a grove of trees, a vase of flowers, a bee buzzing amidst the lavender. Taking cues from nature, these images captures the colors, life and simple beauty that is all around us. Ranging from 2" x 2" watercolors, to 4' x 8' oil or acrylic panels

Taking Photos often helps in planning a composition...

Simon Series

The Simon Series... Inspired by my big brother.... Cool Colors, with a little bit of surprise. The first 3 canvases are 6" x 8" inch acrylics... The final pieces will be quite a bit bigger 24" x 28" / or even bigger...??? I often use test canvas to develop and idea, before going large scale. It helps figure out the color palette before presenting the big idea to a client.
