Honeymoon

This commissioned painting was a gift to the parents of the groom at the wedding of my best friend’s daughter that I attended last October in Maine. It was an extraordinarily beautiful evening and I took a photograph of the full moon rising just as the sun had set. That photo was the inspiration for the painting.

This commissioned painting was a gift to the parents of the groom at a wedding I attended in Maine last October. I took the photo that inspired it and tweaked it a little to make a more interesting composition.

Julian’s Marsh

A friend sent me a group of photos of a marsh in Louisiana where he goes duck hunting, so I did this painting for him. Louisiana has some of the most spectacular landscapes in the country and are among my favorite subjects to paint.

Pastel reflections

This was my first painting of 2019 and it just happened to be my first commission of the year as well.  A photograph by John Snell, newsperson and photographer of Louisiana, is once again the inspiration for my painting.

Alberi Estivi

I sent this one as a gift to my dear friend and New Orleans chanteuse extraordinaire, Leigh Harris, aka Little Queenie, when she was very ill with cancer.  We lost her, but her spirit lives on in everyone who ever listened to her sing.

Belle Bayou

This painting, inspired by a John Snell photograph, was featured at Hotel Tango on Virginia Ave., near Fountain Square in Indianapolis on First Friday, September 7, 2018.  It is now in my bedroom where I see it first thing every morning and I just can’t sell it!

Sailboats

I grew up in New Orleans and my grandparents lived just a block from Lake Pontchartrain.  This reminds me of childhood days, looking at the sailboats from the sun parlor upstairs.  Sold!

We Didn’t Start The Fire

This is another one that was part of my solo exhibit at IU Methodist Hospital, in the art gallery located in the lobby of the hospital. I was so thrilled to be asked to participate in this project. I can’t think of a better use for a hospital lobby than an art gallery. This painting is now in my dining room and it warms me up every day.
