“ANITE” Â -An original watercolor of a lovely Haitian woman. This piece won acceptance into the Alabama Watercolor Society Exhibition.
Anite was raising her four children by herself working for a Haitian Cottage Industry, 2nd Story Goods, when her next door neighbor was forced to leave her home, took her baby, and left her 8-year old daughter behind, alone. Anite took her in.
I was so moved by her story, I decided to do a painting of Anite, sell the *prints, and give a good portion of the money to Anite.
Framed painting is set in a beautiful wood-like frame, which sets off the color of Anite’s skin. 25″h x 26.5″ w
“Dusk” is a fairly large painting of a Heron and his reflection in the setting sun. I loved the gold and the blues of this time of day. This is a watercolor done on Arches cold press paper. It is presently double matted in a beautiful gold frame with museum glass. It is a spectacular piece for the living room!
The painting is 20 1/4″ x 28 1/4″ and is matted and framed with museum glass. The shipping cost will depend on where it’s going and whether or not the frame is included.
I did “The Performance is Finished” when my daughter, who was on track to be a prima ballerina, decided her heart wasn’t in it. After years of going to auditions etc., I realized I needed to do a piece as sort of a farewell. And this is it. I did this on hot press Watercolor paper with Faber-Castell drawing pencils.
The print is available as a fine art print on beautiful Hahnemuhle museum-quality paper.
I painted “PENSIVE” for several reasons; I wanted to capture not only the mood of this young woman, but also the way in which the light played on the folds of the white blouse. This piece has won several awards, and is striking.
This painting is on Arches cold press watercolor paper. I’ve included this painting to give an example of the kind of work that I do, especially if someone would like to have a portrait done.
I saw this man fishing at the beach where I walk most mornings. I loved the way the light played on his hat, the shirt, his skin, and the water. I’ve painting this painting numerous times, and I always am moved by the colors and the light.  I never tire of “JUST FISHING” and this is #IV.
“Just Fishing IV” is 10″ wide by 13.5″ high and is in a beautiful dark wood with a touch of gold frame.
This is an oil painting I did of my oil painting instructor, Carl. The model didn’t show up so Carl sat down. He’s got a marvelous face, strong nose and vivid skin colors.
This piece is 12″ w x 16″ h. It comes in a beautiful wood frame (pictured below) 21″w x 25″ h.
“HYDRANGEAS” is a painting I did on hot press paper. This paper gives a very distinctive look which I love. The paper is very smooth and has no dips in which to catch the paint. Therefore, the paint travels and creates a softer effect which I think is very beautiful.
