"Unlikely Support"

Oil on Canvas

20" x 16"

Commensalism in the form of "beauty" and the "beast".  A beautiful flowering vine dependent on the support and sturdiness of the rugged Prickly Pear cactus.

Inspiration for new bathroom art...

After a recent move to a new house, I was inspired by a painting that I really wanted but didn't want to pay for.  A friend suggested I add a lady bug and it was just the special touch it needed.  His name is Jerry.

Smiling Cap...

"Smiling Cap"

It's no secret at all that I am a coffee addict.  I love to try to paint glass and metal also. 

It was the perfect combo.

Daily Painters Challenge: Paint your breakfast

New Years Resolution:  To get back to painting.

My Favorite Breakfast- Crepes, Berries and lots of Whipped Cream!

"Blueberries and Whip"

6 X 6

"Cheesy Goodness"

6" X 6" Oil on Canvas Board

I have to laugh at my choice of subject here.  As I am knee deep in a nutrition and fitness program for an upcoming figure competition, there is no way that I should eat a super cheesy sandwich.  So, the next best thing of course, is to paint one right?   I should do this more often.  Paint my calories instead of eat them ;)

Please e-mail me with any questions and as always I love your feedback.
