Liberty Thinking

This is a picture of me in Goodland,Florida I was taking pictures with my father this day. I'm holding a camera case in my right hand. The title comes from my thoughts about a famous painting called "Liberty Leading the People", out of one of my art history books. My thoughts for this painting are~ Women must seek faith, courage, and education.

Big Brother

This painting is from a picture that I took in Monteray California this summer. Every time I look at the fat man I smile, so if someone can help spark humor they need to be part of a special painting that can make others smile!

This is the photo that I referred to for the oil painting.  The strong light source makes the painting come to life.

Frisbee anyone?

This is my puppy Skye, she loves to play frisbee in the backyard.  I painted this from a photo, I was attracted to the bright sunlight on her snow white hair. It's difficult to get a good puppy picture because she is always running to fast for the camera.

Marco Beach ll

This was the one warm day on Marco Beach,  Robyn and her daughter, I thought this made a lovely composition.

Marco Beach

It has been cold in Florida too!  This is the Marco Island Beach located on the Gulf of Mexico.  The water is still, no big waves so perfect for seeing what may be swimming below your knees.  I did enjoy one warm day in December.
