Public Housing

The Community Foundation of West Georgia sponsors a juried art show, where artists are asked to creativly define a concept of community. Since 2004, the Foundation has distributed over $2.3 million dollars to local non profits organizations in the areas of art/culture, economic development, medical/hospice, education and the environment. These are the two paintings I submitted.
Public Housing received an honorable mention award.
This painting is now sold.

Nesting Trio

I love dark backgrounds and the drama they create. The simplest subject takes on a totally different look. This painting sold at Madison Market.

The Cardinal

Mother loved watching her bird feeders, especially the cardinals. This painting became our family Christmas
card in her memory in 2008. It was purchased by Ann Henderson in memory of her Mother, who had a special
connection with cardinals. Love you Mom.

Bird Nest with Eggs


Posted by PicasaIn this still life class we concentrated on fruits the first 2 weeks, and bird's nests the second two weeks.  Nests, in all shapes and forms, are the "thing" to paint right now!  Very challenging to keep the brush strokes loose and make each one count!  This is one of my favorite "results."  
12 x 9      $325

Afternoon Shadows

Because of rain on Monday, our plein air session was cancelled. I had taken this photo after a workshop in Newnan, and loved how the farm was washed in the orange glow of fall. Staying in the studio, I painted this 9 x 12, wishing I was back at this farm. It goes without saying, it was a beautiful afternoon! $325
