Western Lake Just Before Sunset
I love painting this landscape, but wanted to try a slightly different view. Let me know how you like it.

This is from a photo I took one day as I was coming back from visiting my mom. The clouds were stunning at this favorite spot in New Orleans’ City Park, along Marconi Drive. My old friend Betty bought it as soon as I posted it.
I sold this small painting of Western Lake, Grayton Beach, Florida to a friend in New Orleans. This is probably my most popular subject for paintings and I never tire of painting it.
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.
When I need to renew my creativity or clear my heart, I do an abstract painting. This one is still available!
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.
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!
Western Lake in Grayton Beach Florida, with its iconic stand of pines on the shore, is one of my favorite and most popular scenes to paint. This one sold before I had finished it and is already in its new home in Santa Rosa Beach.
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!
I worked on this for a long time, finally finished, signed, framed and hung it, but I still don’t like it!
This is another one I started as part of expressing my grief at my father’s death. It wasn’t exactly what I had in mind, but it became clear that the goddess wanted to be seen. I obliged! I don’t know how much my dad would like it, but it’s a tribute to him anyway. She now lives in the crafts room of a dear friend.
Another local artist whose work I love asked me if I would be interested in collaborating with her on some paintings for an upcoming exhibit. I jumped at the chance and had so much fun doing it. We decided that I would do the background paintings and she would add her whimsical surrealism to my landscapes. Here is the first one we did, signed and ready for submission. You should check out her work, too, at

I just finished this painting for my sister, who suggested I do a painting of this iconic scene in Grayton Beach, Fl. It’s been one of my most popular scenes and she was feeling a little unhappy that everyone else has a version of this, but she doesn’t have one. Soon she will!
