Just finished this painting of pieces of my husband's special things.  It has been a while since I worked in oils and I have missed them.

First Hours

"First Hours"  16 x 20 on sanded paper $500.00

This is one of my favorite photos.  I love doing domestic animals and there is nothing like a newborn to tear at your heart strings.

Old Yeller

"Old Yeller"   16 x 20 pastel on sanded paper $500.00

This is my version of what I think the old curr looked liked.  One of my favorite children's stories.  This is the second time that I have painted this photo and love it each time that I do.

Rehl Cooke

This painting was for a dear friend that adores and respects Rehl Cooke a 95 year old veteran.

Retreat View

This was a painting that I started as a demonstration at a workshop.  I started the painting with an underpainting of oil paint and followed up with pastels.  Pastel on sanded paper 16 x 20 $500

Memorial Event

I recently completed a year long project that included painting the portraits of five fallen soldiers from the Western Greenbrier County.  Each serviceman had their own special story and a dedication for each painting was held to honor them and their families.  A re-dedication was held during the "Run to the Wall", when thousands of motorcyclists ride through the town of Rainelle, WV on their way to Washington, DC.  It was a privilege to honor these brave me.

This is the other.....

My Grandson, Mitchel, at The Greenbrier

Mitchel wanted to come with me as we setup the Christmas Art Exhibit. He decided that he was going to judge the show and chose the swan painting as first place. Believe or not he did not know it was my painting.

Front Entrance to The Greenbrier Resort

During the 2010 Christmas Exhibit there were requests for oils of the main entrance to the resort. I did paint one with a summer scene. The painting sold almost immediately. 18 x 24 oils.

Lobby Staircase at The Greenbrier

"Lobby Staircase at The Greenbrier" oil 11 x 14 $400.00

This is a very detailed painting done for the Christmas 2011 exhibit in the Spring Room at the resort. At the top of the stairs is a large mirror which repeats the reflection several times. The mural at the foot of the stairs was a challenge to get the details. This painting is a 11 x 14.
