"Pennyroyal Farm"

 "Pennyroyal Farm"
                                  A very dear friend allowed me to do this painting of her
family homestead. She took me for a ride on her four-wheeler
to many different areas of the farm so I could take photos to use as reference material.
I was really happy with the way the painting turned out.
We even made Christmas cards using this painting.

What a fun project this turned out to be!




















Hocking Hills, Ohio


"Hocking Hills, Ohio"
This is a beautiful place to visit in the great state of Ohio.
It is a fun place to hike, take pictures and even get ideas for paintings.
Lots of people visit here each year.

  "Abo"
A very special friend that I once worked  with
allowed me to paint this for her.
Don't you think she has a beautiful cat?

"Three Little Chickadees"

I Love Birds!
As a little girl I would wait in the car with my father and sisters while
our mother went to do the grocery shopping. If we were really good
when she returned, we would be allowed to go into the five and dime store.
Each time I would take my small amount of money and purchase a different
tiny plastic snap together bird statue. I kept all of the statues that I had assembled
in a shoe box. I had quite a nice collection of these little birds.
Today I still get excited whenever I hear their beautiful songs or see some of those 
colorful birds around our neighborhood.
 It is so much fun to watch how interesting birds can be. 
If you have never taken a moment to just appreciate these tiny creatures - please give it a try.
You will truly be amazed.
BIRDS ARE ALSO VERY FUN TO PAINT!
