Please check back as I have more to post that I need to photograph. It is time for the pool! Please check through all the older posts. Many of the Texas paintings are still available. I sold the "Little African Girl" last night...but have had some great giclees (prints) made. Some of the proceeds from the African art go to Dark Exodus Women's Foundation for the Lost Girls of Sudan living in Dallas.
This shell has been sold. Thanks Angela! I have been doing several more shell paintings on paper.

I used this shell on my business card. It is Pastel on Kitty Wallis.
This is an acrylic done of our beach...from a photo I took of my friend Emily...the other guy was there too. "Red and Blue, Waiting for You" is the title.

Another 5x7 from a photo in the Cayman Islands
This is also from a photo taken in the Caymen Is. We took a trip to see the sting rays out from here. Sting Ray City
This is a 5x7 Pastel on pastel board from a photo I took at the Caymen Islands.

This is a sketch of a beach in pastel on paper.
This is "South of North Lake". Pastel. The beaches and water are beautiful here. We are a block away from this beach.
This is a palm I can see out the window of my home studio over the garage. The coconuts must be removed before hurricane season. I have several I need to have cracked open. Hopefully no hurricanes!

New Art


This is Little House at the Botanical Gardens. (Pastel) I was painted plein aire at a get together with the South West Florida Pastel Society. It is really a little house in the Children's area. The Botanical Gardens in Naples is a must see if you are in the area.

New Ventures


Where have I been since October?? In November we moved to Naples. In March of this year (2011) I set up a studio/gallery in Naples. This is my new business card. I now have a place to go and create and sell...Yes, Sell! People actually buy art in Naples! I will be posting some of my new art...for you to see and Yes, Buy. Eventually, I hope to set up a web site with PayPal and the ability to provide prints and framing. The Shirley Street 16+ is a great group of artists of all kinds. We have monthly events...the 3rd Sat and Sun of the month from 11-4 with refreshments. Otherwise, you can make an appointment or possibly catch me working.
