FIRST SEA OUTING

SOLD ~ Oil on Canvas

A lovely snapshot of my niece, Isabella's first visit to Camps Bay beach in Cape Town. I really tried to push the warm highlights against the cool blues of the sea.

WHITE FLOWERS ON GRAIN SACK

SOLD ~ oil on canvas

This setting is simply a lovely ensemble of a few French objects which I painted to compliment a previous painting a client bought for her husband. It has a masculine feel to it with the brown and blue background setting off the white flowers. The teacup reflects the teapot in the previous painting and subtly unites the two paintings.

FRESHLY CUT FLOWERS

SOLD ~ oil on canvas

For this piece, I set out to push the intensity between cool and warm, highlight and shadow and am pleased with the result. There is an overall happy, sunny moment captured, and that is exactly how I feel at present!

LEMONS IN CLOCHE

SOLD

My friend, Mari gave me this cloche for my birthday this year which she bought on a visit to her daughter in France. I love that I can put anything in it and not only cake which never lasts longer that the trip from the oven to the nearest plate!

TOMATOES OF PROVENCE

THIS PAINTING IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE

Oil on Canvas 11" X 14"

This fresh Provincial painting is reminiscent of all things French. My husband brought these fresh tomatoes home last night and once I saw it I knew it was going to land up in my painting today! I plonked it down on the kitchen chair, as I was baking bread and there was nowhere else in the kitchen for it to go!
I love the strong contrast of red against blue and the lovely topiary which is one of many in my house!

PEONIES IN FRENCH PITCHER

SOLD

It was a sunny day on the Monterey peninsula today, and the sun shone beautifully through my bedroom window onto this white pitcher and peonies. Just had to capture this warm, inviting little scene!

LUCA

                                                                                    SOLD                                                    oil on canvas

A tender rendition of my daughter Luca, whom I have captured as the sun shone on her through a sky light. I think what makes this painting successful is that the focus point is where the strongest highlight and lowlight meet.

LEMONS IN DELFT

SOLD ~ oil on canvas

This is a lovely French Style painting I did of a few lemons I got from my friend's garden. The strong, warm yellows are beautifully set off against the dark, delft blues. This painting will go well in any home as it is a classic piece with strong colors and warm tones.

LYONS HEAD GALLERY

SOLD

This one of my most recent paintings I did of the gallery in Carmel Valley,CA, LyonsHead which represent my work.

The gallery has a beautiful water feature of lions' heads with a creeping rose bush hanging from above. I loved the scene, composition and colours and just had to paint it!

NEDERBURG PINOTAGE

This is a very special painting, inspired by my beloved country's unique Pinotage, a red wine variety which originated in South Africa. 
My mother brought a bottle as a gift from my brother on her last visit to me in Carmel, California.

 Nederburg is a beautiful wine estate in the heart of the Stellenbosch winelands and I am so pleased to have captured a part of it in this painting.

POMEGRANATE

SOLD

This is a daily painting of a pomegranate in warm reds, perfect for this time of year!
