The End Of The Road

8 x 10 inches - oil on gessoboard - This old place gave many good years to the people who spent their lives in its care but now it is the end of the line.

Daffodils And Cone

6 x 6 inches - oil on gessoboard - The Daffodils are finally blooming after a hard winter in our garden. I am trying to get less fiddly. It is a struggle but I think it will be worth it in the end.

Orange And Cup

6 x 6 inches - oil on gessoboard - Here is another still life that I hope you will like.

Snowy Owl

8 x 10 inches - oil on gessoboard - I have no idea why I started thinking about owls and tundra but I guess there is no figuring out flights of fancy.

Farm On The Hill

John's Boat

16 x 20 inches - oil on stretched canvas - John regularly rows his boat out on the water for exercise. I think he also does it to be on the lake.

White Peony

6 x 6 inches - oil on gessoboard - The newer varieties of peonies are so much different than the traditional varieties that were bred to be cut flowers but not to stand up to wind and rain. The new ones usually perform well in the garden and many put on spectacular displays. Peonies are also easy to maintain.

Pasque Flowers

6 x 6 inches - oil on gessoboard - This is a pasque flower from a photo that I took in our garden a few years ago. I think it is called pasque because where it comes from, it tends to flower about Easter time.

Coneflowers

6 x 6 inches - oil on gessoboard - Here is another portrait that I did from a photo that I took in our garden.  I like the combination of purple coneflower and hydrangea.

Ruined Arch

8 x 10 inches - oil on gessoboard - I painted this from a photo that I took a few years ago in KEW gardens in the UK. This is a folly, which just means its a structure with no use other than decoration. Apparently, it was once used as a bridge to bring cattle into enclosed pastures in the garden. It is made of brick and clad with stone.

Pink Rose

6 x 6 inches - oil on gessoboard - Here is another of my flower portraits. With flowers being infinitely variable, these are excellent exercises.

Yellow Iris

6 x 6 inches - oil on gessoboard - I have been painting a number of flower portraits lately. This is from a photo that I took of one of the irises in our garden.

Forest On The Coast

Green House Next Door

6 x 6 inches - oil on gessoboard - I saw this scene next door to my brother's house. I worked on the composition using ArtRage on my ipad then painted it when I got home.

Key Lime Pie Factory

6 x 6 inches - oil on gessoboard - Key lime pie is The delicious desert of the Keys. I guess they need a factory to keep up with the demand.

Stream In The Woods

Tied To The Dock

6 x 6 inches - oil on gessoboard  After a day at sea it is time to tie up to the dock and enjoy the sunset.
