In Search Of Gaia

                       “There are always flowers for those who want to see them.” ~Henri Matisse



The inspiration for this painting comes from various sources. One in particular would be my middle son Maxwell. He has had a great influence on Scott and myself over the past 6 months, as passionate young adults often do. In his search for what to do with his life, one thing has remained constant, his caring for the environment. After many discussions and soul searching he has decided to head out to Northern California to a remote farm and learn first hand how to live self sufficiently, treading very lightly on the earth. He hopes to take what he learns there and create his own homestead someday. We are really going to miss him.
This painting is 20x24 painted on a cradled birch wood panel. The sides are painted to match.

Floral Blessing~new original painting

This is my latest painting.  I enjoy creating rather abstract botanicals every now and then.  I'm  definetly influneced by my two sons as well esepcially since one has moved home ( temporatily?)  and the other vists from Boston almost every weekend.  Since I've been going through a rather rough patch lately I decided to create some healing engery of my own.  This piece is 16x20 executed with acrylics on stretched canvas.  The sides have been painted so no frame is needed.  IT's wired and ready to hang.  Thanks for looking.

Botanical Symphony

I wish summer wouldn't end.  When I look out my kitchen window, I don't see the vivid hues coming from our garden anymore.   We've gotten tired of dead-heading the flowers as well.  At least we are starting to enjoy the tomatoes and eggplants!  I do love the fall (just not the winter.)  I must be getting old.  Hope this little painting keeps you thinking about summer and the beautiful weather we have had.  

Flowers Gone Wild

I reworked "Wild Blue Yonder," which has turned into , "Flowers Gone Wild."  I was never satisfied with the painting before.  Every time I walked by it in my studio I knew it needed to have more going on.  My thought at the time was to do something more simplistic.  I guess that's not the type of painter I am . 

Story Of A Flower II

This is another variation of a painting I did a while back.  I wanted to mix my love of Middle Eastern and  Asian design within the flower.  This painting is 11x14 painted on stretched cotton and linen.  The sides have been painted so no frame is needed.  For sale in my Etsy shop
