Watercolor Paintings

Although my arts education demanded that I try oil and acrylic painting, my first love was and remains watercolor. I thank my early mentor Leah Schwartz for nudging me along the path to watercolors. I am influenced by some wonderful masters of watercolor, Charles Demuth, Cezanne and Winslow Homer as well as many fine teaches I’ve had along the way.

Landscapes

​Landscapes can come from what one sees; the hills, clouds, water or it can come from within – the mind can conjure up some amazing landscapes, given the room. I feel I do a bit of both, using Mother Nature as a starting point from whence to create.

Flowers

​The painting of flowers in watercolor has a long history that I’m glad to have as part of my repertoire. A flower never fails to give beauty and an inner happiness to me and hopefully to the viewer. Flowers are a huge inspiration and I love being surrounded by them. Wild or cultivated, in a garden or along the trail, ah flowers always delight.

Bones

​My fascination with skulls and bones is a recent acquisition. It probably comes from the idea that we are all getting older and closer to death, although I do not feel these are negative thoughts, rather they are beautiful images of what was and what is to come.
