"Winter Walk" & "Delight"

"Winter Walk On The Farm" was inspired by walks I've taken around my sister's acreage in winter ......where the buffalo now roam (yes, buffalo...no, none when I painted this from memory).






"Delight From The Garden" is a reocurring theme for me. I have images of floral colors in my mind and feel a need to capture them with my paintbrush.

St. Louis Artists Guild












The painting on right titled "SPRING STORM" was donated to the 2006 ST. LOUIS ARTIST GUILD COLLECTOR'S VI AUCTION.

225 $150 ticket holders had a chance to view the art in May and on June 4 chose which piece they desired - via lottery. I am proud to say that "SPRING STORM" was chosen 30th out of 225 paintings.




"CELEBRATE" - was placed on exhibit during the month of April by the ST. LOUIS ARTISTS GUILD in the ST. LOUIS COUNTY MAIN LIBRARY.

The piece has since been sold to my "patron of the arts," Barb Singer.
