Feel the Music                                                        20"x27" framed

A mood conveyed, she seems to be lost in the joy of her music making. This was painted from the model and as I looked at it later, I began to envision the keyboard, and also added one of her hands to make it believable. An award winner from juror Timothy Clark at the 2007 SAWG annual show.

Dance of the Tourists                                      sold

A rainy day in Florence, Italy. This was painted on a full sheet of a watercolor paper that I couldn't identify, and which reacted to the paint in some unusual ways, but it still manages to convey the spirit of the day. Chosen by juror Katherine Chang Liu for the prestigious Western Federation of Watercolor 2008 show in Tubac, Arizona


 

 

Many of these paintings were done ‘en plein air’ during workshops I was teaching in Tuscany, 2003 through 2006. I am fascinated with the quality of light in the Sonoran Desert landscape, and the crispness of the Rocky Mountains atmosphere, while the light filtered through the more humid atmosphere of Europe makes timeless the building and landscapes there. I want my viewers to experience again the joy of these special places and times.
