Christmas commissions are coming in! So fun to be a part of someone's special surprise! This is Eva. :)

This is Annie, a border collie mix, who lived to be 18 1/2 years old! This was commissioned for a birthday surprise! Pet portraits make great gifts! Enjoy! :)

This painting, "Maiah at the Beach" is currently featured at the Toledo Art Museum, in the Community Gallery. This painting is part of group of 50 artists' portrait paintings in the gallery. The theme of portraiture is to coincide with the Manet's Portraits exhibit, which begins on October 7th at the museum.

Sold! "Dune Walk" was sold from Angelwood Gallery in Grand Rapids, OH.

Continuing work on the animal theme. I'm hoping to explore the design and color elements in each animal I do. Not planning on going abstract, but I also don't want to limit myself if the abstract comes into play. Enjoying this process a whole bunch. This pastel is on textured board, "Untitled",13x21", $250.

A commissioned portrait of Rex! :)

This is Mario! Another commission! These are so fun! Enjoy! :)

I must be looking forward to something besides all the rain and cloudy skies we've been having. Nothing worse than a warm winter with no snow. But! How about a beach and some sunshine? This is Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore in Michigan, and my first painting in a series of Sleeping Bear Dunes. Voted as the most beautiful place in the US. Very lovely. My husband and I visited last summer and can't wait to go back! You can see Pyramid Point in the distance. This painting is 10 x 20" and sells for $200. Please click on it to get a better view. :)

This was a special portrait commissioned by an old friend of ours. This is his father-in-law who passed away recently. He had this portrait done for his wife for Christmas. Her dad raised her and he holds a very special place in her heart. I was so honored to be part of this wonderful Christmas surprise.
