A few of weeks ago I got to spend an afternoon painting a couple of views of the freshly baled hay in Mr. Whicker's field. I keep calling it "my" field, and it really isn't. But I call … Continue reading A Few of My Favorite Things…

Faces & Places!
In recent years, I have received commissions from friends near and far to paint and draw the beautiful faces and places in their lives. Daughters and sons, homes and land...all are special to the individuals who ask me to honor these things in paint, pastel, or charcoal.

Fè: Portrait #13
Persons of mature age seem to embody a single-pointed purpose. I often wonder if I will be that way in 30 years. My life now seems so fractured into a zillion purposes: parenting my three kids, nurturing a good marriage, teaching and working, caring for my Type 1 daughter, being available to family and friends, … Continue reading Fè: Portrait #13
