Happy Valentines Day

Orchids- 11 x 14 Oil on Canvas

Some flowers are so beautiful, one wants to remember them forever.  These orchids were sent to Tadhg from Windover in loving memory of his grandma, a beautiful woman, with a radiant smile, who is now peacefully resting with her one true love.

A sketch in oil of Alex standing on Coffin's beach staring at the ocean.

Bow Rider

This is a large charcoal sketch of my nephew Sean from this summer while he was out for a ride on the Susie Mac.  I forgot how much I loved to sketch in charcoal.

Girl with a Silver Earing

I make my students create a self portrait every year.  Here is my 2011 self portrait.  I love a classic profile.  This is my first true profile self-portrait and yes! I did it holding two mirrors!!

2011 Self Portrait

Tadhg thinks it's unfinished- He thinks there are problems with the nose and mouth.  I guess he would know my profile better than anyone- but I doubt I will work back into it.

This collection of abstracts are mostly inspired by my students.  I always encourage my students to take risks, and explore the unknown and to simply "play" with materials.  These paintings are what happens when I take my own advice.  They are meditations that explore color relationships, form relationships, and my own relationship with paint, color, and form.
