Evening Sky and Snow (2010)

I found an image similar to this on the Internet. It showed a road and snowfence covered in snow, with amazing reflections of the late day sunset behind clouds. I felt that changing the road to a creek, as well as adding a more traditional fence and some small buildings would add to the effect.

I usually don't paint snow scenes, so this one was new. Given our cold winter this season, this fit right in.

Lily Pads and Sprinkles (2009)

This is a larger piece where I fell in love with the reflections and water droplets on the Lilypads. Arturo helped me with the droplet technique, and I am very happy with the result. This one is a "keeper"

Ellie's Room (2009)

This small piece is from a painting that was in the room where my daughter was staying while she was preparing to have our fourth granddaughter, Ellie, last June. On the wall was a painting of this cute European town. I couldn't help but do a quick sketch and then paint it later. It is in acrylic, which is new for me.
