Thirsty
This painting was inspired by a photograph of my father drinking a glass of water. I was fascinated by the transparent green from his hat visor bouncing off his face and bringing his features to life. The frostiness of the glass was fun to paint, too!
Pigment #1
This painting is of a friendly pig from a farm in northern Michigan. I enjoy trying to capture the facial expressions of animals and have fun playing with color.
Tusk #2
This watercolor painting of an elephant is another example of me just playing with my paints! I really enjoy exploring color and trying to use it in unexpected ways.
Morning Light
This painting was inspired by some vacation photos I took at Twin Lights State Park in Maine. I loved the colors of the flowers lining the driveway and tried to express that in this watercolor.

My neighbor had these sunflowers planted by his driveway last summer. I love the memories of summer that these flowers bring back. Original sold

This Little Piggy
This watercolor painting was inspired from a photograph I took during a vacation to the ocean several years ago. My daughter had finished her lunch then decided to eat mine, too. She only took a few bites, covered my sandwich with so much sand it was inedible, then toddled off to play.
Stick Broom
This watercolor painting is of a cleaning lady working in a Shinto shrine in Nikko, Japan. Her broom seemed to be handmade of twigs. I was inspired by the contrast of the ancient buildings, the rickety broom, and her smooth beautiful skin.
