SUNLIT

SOLD

A vibrant sunlit scene of some of the pots and urns on my kitchen counter. I captured the late afternoon sun peeping through the studio window...and I just had to paint it before sunset!

My husband gave me this beautiful crystal vase for a wedding anniversary, maybe the only one he ever remembered!! I love the texture of the glass and reflections of the water and petals.

CITRUS WEDGES

SOLD

Did I say oranges are in season??? We went fruit shopping at Moss Landing on Sunday which is right on the outskirts of Salinas, the salad bowl of the USA....and where one can buy fruit in season for CHEAP...so hence more oranges!

ROSE VASE

SOLD

A warm, lively painting, depicting a warm setting of roses in a lovely glass vase, reflecting sunlight in the water.
I love how the impasto of the oil paint adds to the texture of the petals and make this work even more alive!

SILVER URN

SOLD
Nothing is more inspiring than the reflections on a beautiful SILVER URN! So I captured this picture as the sun came rushing through my studio window this morning...didn't linger long though, as winter is setting in! I love how the dappled light, soft petals and broken color all work together in this piece!

PEONIES AND LEMONS



SOLD

​A darling setting of peonies against purple shutters and a very bright, warm highlight against the back of my little garden table. I love that the lemons only serve as a compliment color to support the composition!

THE SUNLIT ROOM


SOLD


THE SUNLIT ROOM is totally drenched in sunlight with beautiful shadows casting a glimpse of sash windows on the walls of this well lived in French interior. I love the open door that leads one's eye into the inner room which is connected to the first with the same warm dapple of light.

LA STATUE


SOLD


LA STATUE speaks of all things grand and glamorous though understated opulence which I tried to capture in this painting. I love the glimpse of yellow curtain which is neither overwhelming, nor forgettable!

FEW MINUTES' PEACE


SOLD
A few minutes peace savoring the last warm rays of the day, soaking up all that is good, a good read, in a good chair at a good sized window! Love everything about this painting!
