Keystone

This is an 11x14 acrylic painting of Keystone Bridge in Salem, Ma. Painted from a photo it shows the cold rushing waters of a fall day. Trees and stone - I am always relaxed and drawn to both subjects, and really enjoyed painting this one.

Winter Fun

Yes these are actual ice skates applied to my painting surface! Another 3D peice which is now in a lovely silver frame. This icey painting also sports several snowflakes I created with foam core. At 25x35 inches it is a dramatic statement in cool tones.

Gardening

This 3D acrylic is 22x34, and has actual gardening tools attached to the board with a paper mache technique. I have fun creating sculpture like paintings, and like painting over the forms as if they were not there, creating interesting effects. This one is unframed, I am hoping one will be made soon.

Castles in the Hand

Painting/sculpture
Playing with dimension a little in this one. Started it quite a long time ago and finished it a few weeks ago. The hand is lifesize, and the sand and shells are real. Doing some more in this style to share soon.

Christmas paintings

My dad wanted some paintings to give as Christmas gifts, and here is what he got. Again the beautiful frames were made by my talented husband :) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

The photography is not my best, but I was pressed for time and did not do a retake, sorry. Working on several new projects, lots of snow days = painting time!

Maybe I should paint a few spring landscapes, and mother nature might follow suit, one can dream...
