“Canadian Warbler” is an original acrylic painting on a miniature 2.5 x 2.5 inch stretched canvas. The canvas is backed with a magnet, so the painting can be displayed either on an easel or on a metal surface.
I love working with these small canvases. They lend themselves so well to subjects such as small birds. They are also popular with customers. I have a lot of fun with them and plan to do more, maybe with different subjects.

“Ethereal Dancer” is a hauntingly beautiful scene capturing a ghostly ballerina in blue. Wisps of the ether swirl around her as she dances to an eternal melody.
This painting is a step outside my usual landscape paintings. I wanted to challenge myself and do something different and unique. A photo of a ballerina created the idea for the beginnings of this painting. And as I painted, I saw that by using a limited palette I could create the mood I was looking for. I enjoyed painting this piece and it showed me that I need to broaden my horizons as an artist.

“October Road” is an image of a rural Ozarks country road as the autumn leaves come into full color. We have always had beautiful fall foliage here in the Ozarks. The charm of local fall festivals, craft fairs and pumpkin patches is an added bonus to my favorite time of year here in Missouri.

“Gathering Storm” was an interesting journey. I hadn’t created anything since “The Promise of Rain”. I was experiencing the return of my depression and as a result, found myself unmotivated to do much of anything, including paint.
I finally sat down after a few weeks to try painting again. After several failed attempts, two half started canvases and much frustration, I stepped back for a few days to regroup. I decided I was trying too hard to push myself into creating. I needed to relax and just let it happen.
Grabbing one of the half painted canvas, I painted over everything with white and started over. The first thing I did was paint a blue sky while my brain mulled over the possibilities. Deciding that I wanted an ocean, that was the next addition. Moving on to the clouds, I found myself creating dark skies instead of sunny. It felt right, so I worked on purple and blue storm clouds with a full moon shining on the horizon, as if the storm was moving in. Adding purples to the surface of the blue water reflected the coming darkness. I painted in wisps of cloud over the moonlit horizon and moonlight reflections on the water.
Not wanting to add a sandy beach to the scene, I decided to do a rocky shore instead. Now I had not tackled rocks yet except on an alien landscape in “Red Planet”. So, I took my time with the rocks, trying to get the angle of the light and shadows right using gray and purple tones. It took awhile, but I’m pleased with the result.
