Peaceful Cooperation

This is a new painting of the lovely monarch, Princess Buttercup. She was raised from a caterpillar, and blossomed into this fine young woman. After emerging from the chrysalis, she stayed with us for some days. She drank the nectar of flowers, charged up with energy from the sun, and exercised her wings. Then one afternoon she lifted off on a gentle breeze, and flew south for the winter.

The Feeling of Being

A celebration of the beautiful...a bobcat in the early morning light. Sonoma county in the springtime, or a place in your imagination, or from a dream. The bobcat was inspired by one that I had a particularly strong connection with when we lived on an apple orchard in western Sonoma County. I would often see him hunting or sunning in the orchard just outside my studio window.

An Infinite Perimeter

Deer are always around. I have lived among them for many years, and they are a constant. It has given me the opportunity to observe them closely...even in childhood. They are subtle, delicate creatures. They move on the land like apparitions in the mountains and canyons. Sometimes they seem to appear and then disppear magically before your eyes.

Like the Lion, I Am in My Place

Lions have been on my mind recently, their power, strength, and presence. I envisioned a lion in his domain, looking out over a wide and distant landscape. I sketched the lion first, wanting him to be alive and grounded. Then the waters, hills, and mountains that surround him came into focus. This is a magical place, it is somewhere that we intuit, or a feeling from our childhood that we just can’t put words to. A step through the looking-glass, where sunset meets a deep blue sky lit up by the full moon and stars. A place of infinite Mystery.

↑ for Nectar

Hummingbirds captivate me ; their agility, speed, beauty, and stamina. I admire the way they gather nectar, artfully maneuvering to each flower. This painting is an ode to hummingbirds. I created a coastal home for this bird, with fuchsia to feed on. I wanted the painting to be bright and joyful, with a feeling of abundance.

Throwing Down

This was inspired by "Prapatti", a painting that I did during the Century Watercolor Extravaganza. I wanted to explore this image more, the movement of the waves in conjunction with the tern. The tern is about to dive into the giant wave, and is absolutely confident and going for it.
