Innis Woods

"Innis Woods"
We have a beautiful metro park in our area where
you can go to relax, walk the paths and see wonderful 
things found in nature. They have a waterfall, pond and even 
an area where children and school classes can go to learn about 
gardening and flowers. They even have weddings that take place on the grounds.
Many artists and photographers go there to paint and take photos.
It's one of my favorite places!   


Sweet Nectar

"Sweet Nectar"
Hummingbirds are so fun to watch,
as they buzz past your head in search of 
sweet nectar from the beautiful garden flowers.
I love their shiny and colorful feathers!

Clowns on Parade

Giggles, grins and hats that spin.
These clowns are on parade.
They're here to entertain
you on your very
special day!

I designed this painting as an entry in a
recent greeting card contest.
The finished card also has a colored border,
words and glitter on the front of it.

I had a lot of fun designing this card!

"Cheerful Chirps"

"Cheerful Chirps"
I am fascinated with watching little song birds.
They are so colorful and
 sing the most interesting melodies.
I love to watch them scamper around as they 
eat their food.
Right now I am watching a beautiful pair of cardinals that
come to my feeder every evening about dusk.
I try to make sure that I have some
sunflower seeds scattered around on the ground
in order to entice them to return.
So far it's working!

Sheltie

"Kaylee"
This is Kaylee, a wonderful looking Sheltie.
Her owner is so nice and friendly. She allowed me to try my hand
at painting some note cards of her beautiful pet.
Kaylee sat so still and alert while I took several reference photos of her.
I am so pleased with the way it turned out!

In the Southwest you can spot many wonderful
pieces of history.
I enjoy looking at the interesting shapes 
and colorful pieces of pottery.

A fun little painting that I did while on vacation in Arizona.
The sunsets out there are just breathtaking!
