I painted this scene for my husband who loves to ride his bike to Clearwater Beach, stopping at the top of the causeway bridge to enjoy the view. It is a beautiful west coast Florida sunset in blazing yellow, orange, pink and purple, with the silhou...

Another painting inspired by visiting northern California. The beautiful, vast view of the Pacific ocean coast was unforgettable.

This painting was inspired by a recent trip to California and a visit to the ancient Redwood Forest. It is a shady, cool, awe inspiring place that leaves a visitor with a sense of being very small next to the gigantic trees. The paths are inviting ...

This was an irresistible view to paint. An idyllic natural beauty that refreshes the spirit. My source was a photo in a book about Italy, so I do not offer the painting or prints for sale. It was my first attempt at a water/landscape several years...

This view of a water inlet at John Chestnut Park on Lake Tarpon, Florida, was a very peaceful, secluded spot. The water was dancing with ripples, caused by tiny water bugs, and was very beautiful.
