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.

 

Waves in Hawaii

 30 x 40 inches - oil on canvas - I decided to post a few of the paintings from Hawaii that I have never posted  before.

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

 

16 x 20 inches - oil on canvas board - While these irises will tolerate damp conditions, we also grow them in normal garden beds.

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.

On the Road from Marrakesh

 

8 x 10 inches - oil on linen board - this is the first in a series I am doing on a trip we made to Portugal, Spain, and Morocco. This one is a composite from photos that I took and imaginings from a trip up the mountain from Marrakesh. 

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.
