For a Friend

Watercolor
I painted these roses
several years ago. 
My Mom has it hanging
in her bedroom.
It is a copy of roses
that were painted on
a plate in the early
1900's by a friend's
grandmother.

Birdhouse Decorative

This birdhouse was entered into the Ste Genevieve, MO garden walk in May 2009 and won 2nd place in the 'decorative category'

I painted the birdhouse with whisps of color and then 'f'ound' the flowers and added the brown centers I had sort of an idea what I wanted it to look like I was pleased with how it looked after adding the outline around the flowers

It was a fun project!

Burgandy Glow 2

I originally painted this composition in watercolor on a twelve by sixteen watercolor sheet

This oval is painted in acrylics on a much smaller scale

I like the color of the flowers and the way the hummingbird

floats against the burgandy

Mount Olive Schoolhouse

This painting is painted from a photograph taken in Southwestern Mo near Branson

I was fortunate to meet the owner and have the history of the old school

dating back to the land before the school was built

Dogwood

These dogwood are painted with a brush in oil
paint
I really like working with a palette knife a lot more than a brush

Marler's Spring Garden

Palette knife oil painting of Marler's garden

This is just one of many gardens on the property

Painted at the May Garden Walk in Ste Genevieve

The day was beautiful - a little windy

Owners were very friendly

It was fun talking to the people who came to see the gardens

A feeling of serenity
