Geranium Series I-VI

Geranium I


Geranium II


Geranium III


Geranium IV


Geranium V



Geranium VI
sold

Six 6" x 6" Oil on stretched canvas

This was a fun series to paint. It's always such a great exercise to do multiple paintings or drawings of the same subject because you really have to be more creative about how to arrange and frame the same objects.

The Way Up

20" x 16" Acrylic on stretched canvas

This is an interior I did last spring. I'm looking forward to painting more interiors now that winter is upon us!

Bridge of Flowers

16" x 12" Oil on canvas panel

This is another painting I did during Louise's autumn workshop. I am so happy with this! This is the bridge of flowers in Shelburne Falls. The colors and brushstrokes are much more lively "in person" than is captured in the photograph. Double click on the picture to get a better view.

French King Bridge



6" x 6" Oil on masonite - 3 panels
sold

This is another piece I painted during Louise's autumn workshop. I'm very happy with this piece. I really did have a great time painting this despite the fact that it was chilly and windy. I enjoy doing landscapes that would typically be horizontally-oriented in the vertical format. It adds a little surprise to the scene.

April in Paris

8" x 10" Oil on masonite

I painted this from a picture we took in Paris. We were in the city of lights in April when we got engaged. I have the picture framed in our living room and kept thinking that it would make a lovely painting.

The Book Mill

6" x 6" Oil on stretched canvas
sold

This is a fun little piece. I was curious to see how much of the Book Mill I could fit in on a little canvas.

Hadley Sugar Shack

11" x 14" Oil on masonite

This is another panel I painted during Louise's workshop. Louise made a good point when she said to me that my comfort with interiors shows in this piece. I do like the architectural lines set off by the organic shapes of the gourds and vegetation.

Colander of Apples

6" x 6" Oil on masonite
in private collection

This is a fun little piece that I painted at a friend's house. She had the sweetest little handmade ceramic colander that we filled with apples for this still life.

Red Chair

16" x 12" Acrylic on masonite

This is a painting I did about a year ago and I am very happy with the "Hopper-esque" feel of it. This actually started out as a still life of a tray table of apples. I got so involved with the space the little tray table and apples didn't even make it into the painting. I'm looking forward to painting more interiors this winter and I'm curious to see if I'm able to stay as expressive I was with "View from Sugarloaf."

6" x 6" Oil on masonite

This is my beloved old Oakland neighborhood, looking down Grand Ave toward the Grand Lake Theater.

View from Sugarloaf

16" x 12" Oil on canvas panel

I painted this during Louise Minks' Fall Workshop in October. I didn't want to paint the typical view from Mt. Sugarloaf, so I painted this view looking out on South Deerfield. This painting stayed fresh, bold and spontaneous thanks to Louise stopping me from overworking it. She's a great teacher!!!!
