I am an acrylic paint artist who has lived in the country until recently moving to Los Angeles. My art conveys my personal perspective on my surroundings and the world.

This is the original reference photo
This painting was very fun to do. I enjoyed the change in subject matter and the strength of the composition in the original reference photo that didn’t take much altering. The commissioner wanted his face to look more recent, as the original reference photo was taken about 10 years ago.

Tea Paintings, Original Designs. “Tea Box Series”
“Rose Hip Tea” Painted with natural tea colors. Original design (Available in archival Prints)
“Earl Grey” Painted with natural tea colors. Original design (available in archival prints)
“Chai Tea” painted with natural tea stains. Original design. (available in archival prints)
This is something new I have been experimenting with -the natural colors of tea in painting! So I designed a series of my own tea box designs and painted them with natural stains. I always enjoy nature and natural things, so for me this was an exciting method to paint. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to find a satisfactory green with tea and had to substitute some watercolor, but the yellows and reds are all natural. And they smell good too!!

“A Goodnight Rain” Oil painting
“A Goodnight Rain” Oil on stretched canvas 8×10″ (For Sale) This is another oil painting experiment in response to several requests for landscapes. I found the reference photo in my archives from a hay field near Mountain Grove Missouri. A storm had just passed over and the sky was a wash of soft pinks, peaches and brilliant blues, birds were singing and the smell of rain filled the air and a cool breeze blew I had to stop and soak it all up like the dry ground. It was one of those moments where I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn’t in a fairy tale!

“The Dotted Line”
This is my latest painting, finished 11/19/13 I loved the composition that the telephone wires created. I also was fascinated with the numerous birds that were perched on every surface. The original is 11×16, making each bird aprox 1/2″ but I attempted to make each one individual and pack on as much detail as I could.
