Home Portrait

"Home Portrait"

This is another view of the house I painted as a Christmas card before.

 After I finished that winter card

 we decided to try making a painting of it 

in the summertime.

 This was a different view - showing more of the whole side of their home and property.

It was an awesome home to paint!

  Lots and lots of interesting shapes and angles.

  

  

"Sasha Anne"

"Sasha Anne"

This is one of my favorite paintings.

Sasha Anne is a rescue dog. 

 She looks like she has a happy and loving heart.

The kind of dog that makes a wonderful companion. 



Northern Cardinal

"Northern Cardnial"

We have a lot of cardnials here in Ohio.

You can see them daily in the trees, around yards and bird feeders.

Last fall I had a male and female that came to my yard

each evening about dusk. I would make sure I had placed

some sunflower seeds in a certain spot by the birdbath.

I would sit quietly on the patio and sure enough here they'd come.

They did not seem afraid of me at all.

I think cardinals sound beautiful and are so enjoyable to observe.

They are my favorite birds! 



Winter Church

"Winter Church"

This is what it looks like here in Ohio today.

Cold and snowy but

 beautiful!

Scenic Train

"Scenic Train"

I just got this new note card done in time for the winter season.

I was able to design this painting from some wonderful photos that

my sister-in-law took while visiting out west. I added in the train / tracks,

and purposely left some white area of snow so that I could add 

words for use as a greeting card if desired.   

Sleigh Ride

"Sleigh Ride"

Let's take a step back in time and just imagine

ourselves living in a small town where everyone enjoyed

 walking down the streets to visit with their friends and neighbors, singing carols

and just celebrating this beautiful winter holiday season together.

What a delightful time that must have been!
Happy New Year!!!
