With the temperatures in the single digits makes

me think of warmth and flowers.This was a scene

in my garden last year. The Monarch was just barely

visible feeding on the geraniums. I love working on the

pastel board. It really gives the colored pencil a different

look and feel.

Original Oil on canvas 16 x 20

We saw this beautiful Blue Heron on one of our trips to Maumee

Bay Resort by Lake Erie last year. He was just busy hunting and

posing for us. The photography is by my husband Bill and

I knew this would make a great painting.

It has been accepted in the 2009 "Wings, Tails, Hooves

& Scales: An Art Exhibition Celebrating Animals

which takes place at the Midwest Veterinary

Conference in Columbus, Ohio Feb. 19-22.

Thanks for visiting.

At the Beach with Kylee

This painting was a gift to my husband. We spent a weekend
in June last year at Lake Erie for a family reunion.
I thought it would make a great painting.
Their faces were mostly in the shadows and therefore,
this was a great challenge. But I could not resist, since
it was a special moment between a precious
grand-daughter and her Pop-pa.
