Peonies!

12x12 oil available here

close up so you can see the brushstrokes 

and on the easel 

I love all flowers but peonies are one of my favorites! I bought these last month at Trader Joe's and they started out hot pink then faded to this beautiful peach color. I'm trying to paint and post daily starting today. We'll see if I can keep it up this time! 

Solo Show in Santa Barbara!

She Sits in Red SOLD

So, I hung my first show in Santa Barbara the other day! I hope it's not the last. I absolutely love it there. The solo show will be going on thru September so there's lots of time to see it. The location is a hair salon, called Caio.  

Caio  3011 De La Vina St Santa Barbara, California 93105

(805) 569-9324

 Here's what you can see there- 

Love is Blind

Spring Magnolia

Norcal Winery and Small Winery on the shelf

Lady in red 'It Takes Time" and Spello, Italy

These look nice together!

Small sail boats and Sunset Vineyard

and more. So if you're going to be in the area stop by! 

close up of a commissioned piece SOLD

I'm in a new place now, no longer in Ventura so my art may reflect that move. I feel much better where I'm at now but I do miss the beauty of Central California. I'm sure I'll be back...if for no other reason then to deliver more paintings!  

Spring Flowers

Spring Floral 10x10 oil on canvas

Spring is in full bloom now and so is my inspiration! I finally feel that passion again and can't paint fast enough! It's so good to be back. I hope you're all well. 

I'm working on some daffodils from Trader Joe's today...

Guardian Angels

Available here 

"The Watcher" was inspired by our guardian angels who watch over us. This is an 11x14 oil on canvas with accents of gold metallic paint. Lots of thick paint and texture to this one!
