"Trio"

A trip to the recently added butterfly house at the Potowatomi Zoo yielded this composition. First one, then two, then three of the inhabitants alighted on the fruit set out for their enjoyment. This painting won a Judge's Award at the Northern Indiana Artists Exhibit at Lake Michigan College.  Watercolor. Framed to 11" x 14".  $200  

"From The Patch"

Each fall my family and I visit our favorite farm, known in Autumn simply as "The Patch". After a hayride and a tromp through the cornfield maze, we go out into the fields to select our Halloween pumpkins. In 2008 the St. Joe Valley Watercolor Society visited The Patch for a day of painting. This is one of my paintings from the visit.  SOLD

"Morning Mist In Montreat"

A foggy morning in North Carolina inspired several paintings, including this one of the dam on Lake Susan in Montreat. As an exercise in creating depth and atmosphere, it was a perfect subject, with all detail and color disappearing into the mist. This painting is part of the NIA Juried Exhibit at the South Bend Museum of Art.  Watercolor. Framed to 20" x 24".  $500
