WINTER MARSH, 5X7, OIL, ABSTRACT,SOLD

I love the marshes as much in the winter as in summer and spring. Instead of spring green, they are subtle muted shades of taupe, mauve, coral and lavender.

I have been honored to have one of my paintings featured on a great blog is promoting artwork for under $50.00. I hope you all will check it out here. Kelly has done a great job of promoting original art and instructing buyers on terminology. Thank you, Kelly.

STORM OVER LOW COUNTRY, 5X7,SOLD, OIL

Another big storm over the low country. I don't know why this fascinates me so much. I find myself painting these stormy marsh scenes over and over. Maybe it is the lime green/dusty purple color combination. ???

CAROLINA STORM, 8X10, ABSTRACT, CA SCHIFF, OIL, SOLD

This is my largest abstract to date. I really love the feeling I get when I do them and because of them I feel much stronger in my impressionistic paintings. I feel it is a win/win situation for me. Someday I may branch out and do an abstract still life, but for the moment, I am enjoying the landscapes.

YOU GUESSED IT!, 5X7, ABSTRACT, OIL,SOLD

Yes, it's another marsh scene. I really am begining to enjoy these abstracts. Have I convinced anyone else to give it a try? It really is very freeing and for me, I nice change of pace from my usual struggles. Not that I would want to do only this, but, when I am able to turn one out that isfresh and has pleasing colors and values it seems to help me get ready to do my "real" paintings.

HILTON HEAD MARSH, ACRYLIC, 5X7 - SOLD

Still working in the abstract direction. It's kind of fun, but, I have a feeling I am going to want to try something that is a little more realistic soon. Maybe I can find a comfort zone between the two as I don't seem to know what direction I want to move in. I am having fun, experimenting and seeing where it will lead. I seem to get bored easily, so I guess this is a good thing.

While catching up on comments made while I was out of town, I discovered I have been awarded the BELLA SINCLAIR AWARD for friendship, sisterhood, caring and sharing, by Laurel Daniel

and Catherine Jeffrey. Laurel is a wonderful plein air painter from Austin who paints sunny landscapes and has the sunny disposition to match. Catherine is the pride of Canada who heads out into the rainy days of Toronto to capture the beautiful reflections of a wet urban scene. I am honored to be given this award by both of these extremely talented women, and have decided to pass it on to the following atrists who encourage and inspire me.

Sheila Tajima, Jennifer Woodburn, Karen Bruson and Carmen Beecher. Thank you ladies, for giving me the warm fuzzies I love and require!
