I WAS DAZZLED by the subjects to paint along my 4+ week journey through the Southeast! You have seen a just few of the things I painted along the way. Here are the newest pieces just posted. Thanks to new collectors who visited me and purchased paintings as they were being created! I had a wonderful journey through Georgia and Florida...

I painted everywhere from Callaway Gardens in Georgia, to St. George Island, Orlando and other locations in Florida.

I HAVE FOUND that the is nothing quite as happy and inviting as a sunflower. Following is the latest of my collection of paintings - a lone, very expressive sunflower:

Hi Friends,

Finally have a broadband connection along my travels with two new pieces to show you. Both are from very different terrain and much more is on the way.



I loved this scene as it seemed like a private moment between birds. What great things go on between wildlife that we cannot understand. I placed this into our human context as being like a married couple; one making the other laugh.


Georgia offers grand views of flowering trees and azaleas. This piece is chock-full of color and textures; water and sky. There is nothing quite like painting both flowering trees above as well as flowers below. Spring is the best time to capture these two venues together. The bulk of this piece was painted on location. The canopy of flowers painted after I left the scene due to weather conditions.

More coming. My series of 10x10 in. pastel paintings of azaleas will be out in a few weeks. Meanwhile, I'll post paintings as they are created during my next two weeks of travel. Thanks for visiting and write me anytime.
