The Way



The Way
16 x 20
Oil on Raymar Panel
$500

I love these nuns and I love that I was able to capture them as they were directing each other.  They were sight seeing and it was a horrendously hot day...I cannot imagine that they were not sweltering in their habits...but they must be used to it.  I followed for a while knowing that I would love to paint the black head pieces and white robes...what fun!

When we spotted the three nuns Bruce and I were taking source photos...we saw them from a distance so I took off running to catch up and possibly get some pictures!  Bruce has a torn meniscus...so he stayed behind...little did I know that he was taking pictures of me running after them.  I had on a red dress and straw hat so you know I looked pretty inconspicuous as I trotted along...camera in hand...trying to get the perfect shot!



Here I am...running!

Birds of a Feather


"Birds of a Feather"
9 x 12
Oil on Raymar panel
$100.00


I have seen a lot of painted beach scenes and I just love them.  The movement of the water...kids playing, birds flying, sunbathing, swimming, splashing.  I love all the techniques and variety of ways the scenes are depicted.   I am not much of a bird painter but I do love painting figures so you can imagine my delight when I discovered this gaggle navigating the dunes!
