This painting of Over the Lake is the second in the series derived from a recent visit to Geneva-on-the-Lake, Ohio. I’m still fascinated by the colors of that day and the windy weather. Get the full story in this post: Over the Lake 1 This version is 24 x 24 inches, also on extra-deep gallery […]

Bright, sunny, warm and inviting. Soft creamy colors painted in the background, with drizzles of black acrylic ink accentuated by drops of red and green alcohol inks. 8 x 8 inches acrylic paint and ink, and alcohol ink, on paper, mounted on canvas
Similar to the first Imaginary Garden, but smaller and moodier. Maybe late autumn rather than early autumn, and a thicker tangle of underbrush. 12 x 16 inches, acrylic paint and ink on canvas
As the seasons change, I find myself imagining what the landscape will look like as we move into the spareness of Autumn. It is beautiful, but in a different way than the lushness of Summer. 16 x 20 inches, acrylic paint and ink on canvas
About a month ago, my sister and I took a day trip to Geneva on the Lake, Ohio. For as long as we’ve lived in the area, neither one of us have been there. The day was cold and windy, unseasonable for August but typical of this past summer. The view over Lake Erie and […]
Crackling fire on a cool evening, poking at the flames with a branch. That’s what I think of with this one. What does it remind you of? 8 x 8 inches painted directly on canvas. I’m beginning to paint directly on the canvas, something I haven’t done in a while. Acrylic paint and ink.
Soft passages of pink and beige, with drizzles of black ink. Dreamy but not too sweet. I love the spots where the ink “bloomed” into organic almost flower-like shapes. See the bit along the left edge, almost halfway down. Or some of the areas along the bottom edge. Reminds me of hydrangea? Hyacinth? Or something […]
A small 8-inch square painting in blues and reds with lots of movement. It feels joyous to me. The second photo shows how these paintings look when viewed from the side. They stand out nicely from the wall, or are able to stand on their own. 8 x 8 inches, acrylic paint and ink on […]
Remember when you were a kid and the best thing in the world was a hot summer day, cold water from the sprinkler, and grass between your toes? Thought so. 8 x 8 inches on paper. Acrylic paint and ink. Mounted on 1-1/2 inch deep gallery wrapped canvas.
