Columbine Dancing with the Ferns •SOLD

 While out for a walk, this Spring, the sun hit a bundle of Columbine in the forest. The color sang and I ran for my camera. I didn't realize it at first but the ferns were dancing around the blooms, giving the flowers an even happier feel.

Evening Calm - City Dock *Sold

A couple of years ago, a mother and daughter stopped into my shop. They looked like they were enjoying each others company and savoring the day. As they walked along the sidewalk I snapped a couple of photos...thinking they would be fun to paint. I worked on this piece off and on over a year. Shortly after finishing this piece, a group of people came into the store. They were dressed in flowing summer clothes and I thought, "They would be fun to paint." The little girl seemed familiar to me and then I connected that I had just finished painting her. After asking a few questions I was sure it was the mother and daughter from my painting. It was fun to give them some cards - of this painting - as a thank you for the inspiration.
