Travelin' stuff

Add caption

Old timey things seem romantic, but as I recall travel used to be more leisurely, more of an 'event' in itself, and not just a way to get somewhere...I wanted to capture the pleasure of traveling more slowly than we do today in this small work.  I have been having fun learning to use my new oil paints and this is my first one.  It is 4" x 6" and framed in a simple gold frame.  I will be entering it in the Gallery North Miniatures Show in Edmonds Washington during the month of March.

Loving Memories

How we love our pets!  Grammy and her cat... sadly, I don't know the kitty's name, but she looks just like my own little Daisy.  This was painted from an old black and white photo, is in acrylic and is 3.5" x 5".  It is available at the Whidbey Art Gallery in Langley, Washington.

Ubiquity

Omnipresent, trees are so often taken for granted; they suffer from over exposure. We see them just as background, and except for perhaps a few days in spring or autumn, fail to notice their individual beauty. Forests provide shade, water conservation, soil enrichment, wood products for our shelter and oxygen for us to breathe. And still we don't notice or appreciate them! Ok, there is Arbor Day, but how often have you celebrated that? Framed in a black beaded wood frame, this little (3.5 x 5 inches) painting, 'Alder Grove' is my quiet homage to the common 'weed tree' of the Northwest, the Red Alder. There is always beauty if we are willing to look for it. It is available at Whidbey Art Gallery in Langley, Washington
