"Hollyhocks II"

These  flowers remind me so much of my childhood, when I sat on the porch and made little ballerinas from their blooms.   I have done several paintings of them, and decided I must have a garden of my own, so I started the ground this week.

Sunset Downeast

Just sold this painting, 16x20, to a lovely lady from Georgia.  She also purchased a painting of lilacs, all for her 20th anniversary.   Happy Anniversary, Jo and Alan.

Bird on a boat

This is an oil painting, 16x20.   I really love the subject matter, the little boat at low tide right off Bridges Street in Morehead City.   The little bird landing on the boat was perfect timing!

"The magic hour"

Thanks to my friends, Ron and Cyndi, I get to stay at this beautiful beach and paint every year.  This is the south end of Wrightsville Beach, always one of my favorite places, particularly at dawn and sunset.   18"x18", oil on canvas.

"The shell seeker"

Many of us fortunate enough to live near a beach will recognize ourselves in this one.

"Moments to take your breath away"

This painting was done from research at the new inlet, which happened courtesy of Hurricane Irene.  It is a beautiful spot, constantly changing.  8x10, oil on linen.

"Morning at the South end"

Getting ready to do a show in Wilmington, a benefit for Cape Fear Academy Nov. 15 & 16.  This painting will be included; it was a result of a recent stay at Wrightsville Beach, always one of my favorite places.  It is 14x11, oil on linen.
