Waiting For Rain

This oil painting was completed in Oregon. However, it is an image that depicts the monsoon time in Arizona. It always appears to be "ready to rain" at this time of year and this is a theme I have used in several paintings.

Size of this painting is 14 x 16 unframed.

Cambria

Cambria, California and the walkway along the beach is an artist's delight. This painting was done with a palette knife and has that fresh perspective of just having been done. A 4 x 6 canvas mounted on an 8 x 10 gray board is ready to hang without another frame.

Albertson's Park

Albertson's Park is a city park established in Boise, Idaho possibly 40 or more years ago. It was developed as a refuge for birds of all kinds. It is a beautiful and peaceful place to walk or rest, located on several acres of city property. This is a 14 x 18 oil painting with an exquisite gold frame. All paintings in my collection are original, many painted on location and the majority of them are for sale.

Charley's Garden-- Payette Lake

Idaho's well-known Charley's Garden located on Payette Lake is a beautiful area of the canyon driving north through the mountains. This gorgeous impressionistic watercolor was completed after a road trip through McCall, Idaho.  Size unframed is 10" x 13". Just add mats and the beautiful gold filligree frame and it measures 17" x 20".  One of the artist's favorites.

Southern France

A watercolor painted from a photo by Sandy Marostica in her travels to the south of France. Sandy was a wonderful photographer and artist living in Boise, Idaho. I had asked her to take some photos for me when she and her husband Larry visited in France. Sandy was a great mentor and friend who visited in Arizona. She brought her shows to Scottsdale, New York and the Pearl District in Portland, Oregon. She will be missed by  art community and her many friends. This painting is "10 x 14" unframed and is available also as a print or giclee.

Spring Tulips

This image is from an acrylic painting  completed for a "floral" show. It was  accepted. I need to crop it and will do so another day. However, I wanted to get it on the blog as several friends wanted to see it. This  image may be improved by  photo shop and will do so soon.
