Small Sunriver Scene

Small Sunriver Scene

Everyday I drive past this scene I am amazed at the beauty of the mountains. The fall colors give just the right boost of color to the landscape. This piece is done with watercolor on cradled claybord. It is 5″ x 5″. You can see the texture of the claybord […]

Why Buy Original Art?

Wyoming Summer

When decorating your home consider buying original art. Since I am an artist, this subject is very close to home for me. Not only am I an artist but I am also an art collector. I love filling my home with original art work created by other artists. Each wonderful original […]

Framing Your Art Work

 

Happy Painting!

A few months ago I sold a painting titled, Cosmos at the Coffee Shoppe. The unframed painting was shipped to my customer, Betty Dunn, in Navasota, Texas. I asked Betty if she would mind sharing a photograph of the art work after she got it back home from the framer. […]

Towering Ponderosa Pine
