LEMONS ON BLUE

SOLD

This painting reflects what I see when I peek over my easel every day, which might give you a clue about where I paint.....in my lounge! Which, I must add, has the best light in the house and also makes me feel connected to my kids, animals and all that goes on while I'm happily painting away!

FRENCH GALVANIZED PITCHER

SOLD

The quaintest little French shop in our Valley, TANCREDI & MORGEN, lent me one of their antique French galvanized pitchers as inspiration and this is what I did with it. Though it is grey and not so grand, I think it came out just fine what with the bright fruit and flowers to boot!

DELFT AND PEONIES

SOLD

​This is a second in a series of paintings depicting a delft vase with roses, peonies and lemons. The late afternoon light shines on the French pitcher which makes for interesting shadows and lively highlights. It will look darling in any kind of French style atmosphere.

FRENCH POMEGRANATES

A French style depiction of pomegranates from my friend's garden whom also gave me the lovely platter for Christmas! I made this painting for her mom who took it back to South Africa with her.

DELFT VASE

SOLD

A vibrant still life depicting a French style setting of a pitcher, grain sack and delft vase. Cool shadows set off vibrant colors. A lovely color study that will brighten up any room.

FRENCH PITCHER WITH CHERRIES

SOLD

My dear friend Jane gave me a bag of cherries before leaving for Arkansas, and boy did I have to move fast to take a picture of it in this bowl as cherries don't have a very long shelf life in our house!

VASE DE HYDRANGEA

Please purchase here

My latest painting in a series of truly French inspired works. I mainly want to depict the touch of sunlight on fresh fruit which reminds of a lazy morning in the South of France! Hence the grain sack dish cloth! Beautiful, French grays, blues and soft pinks would go well in any sophisticated setting.

This listing is for a 24" X 36" painting, painted on the sides so you won't need to frame if you choose not to.

CARMEL MISSION

Carmel Mission

Our dear friends, Matt and Caitlin are getting married today at Carmel Mission. I made this painting especially for them as a wedding gift as they both have a passion for missions and also of course this will be a snapshot of the happiest day of their lives, captured on canvas! They will be living in Belgium for the first few years of their marriage, so I hope this will find a special place in their new home!

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.
