Red Carnations
“Red Carnations” is a favorite painting that was created from a gift of flowers someone gave me. The pink glasses are part of my mother’s antique collection. This would look good on any wall-festive and beautiful.
A Christmas Story (Pastel Painting)
The Christmas Story is one of my favorite movies. My husband gave me a leg lamp one Christmas and I knew I had to paint it. I added the red bar of soap and the broken glasses to go along with the movie theme.
This painting is Pastel framed in black to 11×14 inches with True Vue Glass
Lady in Red
12×16 Oil on Linen
I painted this still life and some how, as if by magic, the flowers painted themselves. Truly one of my favorite paintings. Click on the photo below to see how the painting looks framed.
Peaceful Day on the Margaret Todd, Bar Harbor, Maine
Peaceful Day on the Margaret Todd, Bar Harbor, Maine is a painting I did after having a wonderful experience being on this beautiful ship on a warm summer’s day. This painting comes framed and will give you a peaceful feeling every time you see it.
