Waterfall in Hawaii

 16 x 20 inches - oil on canvas board - Hawaii has many beautiful waterfalls. Here is one of them.

Nene

16 x 20 inches - oil on canvas board - The story about this bird is interesting especially for Canadians like me. Apparently a long time ago, Canadian Geese got off course and landed in Hawaii. Over many generations they evolbed into the current Nene.

 

Crocus

 

6 x 8 inches - oil on canvas board - Soon these will be up in the garden.  It has been a long winter.

Hellebore

 

16 x 20 inches - oil on canvas board - This is sometimes called a Christmas rose because that is when it blooms in warmer places than where we are. The leaves stick around through most of the year though.

Japanese Iris

Blue Irises

 

16 x 20 - oil on canvas board - Irises are one of my favourites in the garden.

Opuntia

16 x 20 inches - oil on canvas board - Don't even get close to these unless you have gloves and tongs. The spines are worse than a porcupine.
 

Pink Peonies

 

16 x 20 inches - oil on canvas board - Here is the first of a series of floral portraits I painted recently.

Lynx

 16 x 20 inches - oil on canvas board - I thought I was done with my big cat series but apparently not.

Tropical Coast

 

12 x 16 inches - oil on canvas board - Here is a restful scene from somewhere in the tropics.

Heron by the River

12 x 16 inches - oil on canvas board - In early morning this heron silently moves from place to place looking for fish and frogs.

 

Lion

 

12 x 16 inches - oil on canvas board. Here is another in my big cat series. 

Watching in the Tree

12 x 16 inches - oil on canvas board - I wouldn't turn your back on this one. 

Walking with Mother

 

12 x 16 inches - oil on canvas board - These two youngsters stay close to Mom because, even for tigers there is danger out there.

Lion in the Sun

 

12 x 16 inches - oil on canvas board - I created a series of paintings a while ago about big cats. It was fun to do and I hope you like them.

Alone

 

8 x 8 inches - oil on canvas board - They have forgotten me and left for good. Now what do I do? This is probably the last of my series on cats waiting at doors.

Trouble

 

8 x 8 inches - oil on canvas board - I'll make you an offer you cannot refuse. Let me in and I won't make your life miserable (which you know that I can do). I have been working on a series of paintings of cats waiting at doors.

Still Waiting

 

8 x 8 inches - oil on canvas board - If you let me in I will stick around to listen to you go on and on about your day. I have been working on a series about cats waiting at doors.

Kitty

 

8 x 8 inches - oil on canvas board - Want to hear a bad cat joke? I'm just kitten. I have been working on a series of cats waiting at doors.

Mystery

 8 x 8 inches - oil on canvas board - Have you ever wondered what I named you? I have been working lately on a series about cats waiting at doors.
