This is my first oil painting--painted around 10 years ago--of a photograph I'd taken in Monet's garden.
I hadn't tried oils again until this summer. Now I'm taking an oil painting class and loving every minute of it!
As soon as I paint something I'm really pleased with, I'll post it.  Expect lots of texture!

This painting is my interpretation of an old photo owned by my stepfather.  It is a scene in the woods of France during WWII.  The painting is acrylic on canvas panel.  I plan to try other interpretations--there is a mystery in this old photo that begs to be interpreted.
Perhaps if you zoom in you can see the extra texture applied to the trees.

A Rose by any other name

I love the simplicity of this photo.  The stark background highlights the intricate layers of petals.  I've taken hundreds of photographs of flowers, and still take photo shots every time I'm given a new bouquet.  I can't help it--I'm addicted to beauty.

Come to the West Austin Studio Tour May 19 and 20

I haven't had time to post my newest creations yet, but if you come to the West Austin Studio Tour this weekend, you can see them first hand.   You will also see many other artists.  I will have a table in the Fellowship Hall of UBC on the corner of 22nd and Guadalupe from 11-6 on Saturday and 12-6 on Sunday.  I hope to see you there.
