Siesta  (watercolor) Original: $400 11x14 matted prints: $35 16x20 matted prints $60 This is one of the fastest paintings I've ever done.  I love ducks and this female mallard was enjoying a little nap on the water the day I sketched her.  I later turned the sketch into this painting.

Egret Portrait,  (watercolor) 7x10 Original: $200 11x14 matted prints: $35 16x20 matted prints: $60 This painting is from a drawing I did in the park.  This egret let me get very close to it.

Dragonfly Party, (watercolor), 11x14 Original $350, matted prints: 11x14 $35, 16x20 $60 This is a little painting I call "Dragonfly Party".  It's from a sketch I did at the park.  I was surprised to see so many dragonflies together.

Duck Tails , (watercolor), 7x10 Original: $200 11x14 matted prints: $35 16x20 matted prints: $60 I love to watch ducks.  They are constantly entertaining.  These two are happily foraging.  This painting is from another park sketch.  I experimented with the use of marker and with the color in the orange lines, as I felt the painting needed something to emphasize the shape of the duck's tails.

Turtle Rain , (watercolor), 18 x 24 Original: $750 11x14 matted prints: $35 16x20 matted prints $60 I started with the painting of the flowers, from a sketch I did while on a hike.  I wanted to add the rain drops and the turtles were from an old painting that I wasn't happy with, I felt like they needed a new home.

Egret in the Morning  (watercolor) 16x20 Original: $600 11x14 matted prints:$35 16x20 matted prints $60 While on a walk with my dogs I saw this Egret preening itself.  It was very busy and didn't seem to mind or notice my sketching it.  Later at home I turned it into a painting.

Naptime  (watercolor) Original: $450 11x14 matted prints: $35 16x20 matted prints $60 My daughter and some of our pets resting together, a common sight at our house.  The animals love to nap, and they are especially happy when there's a person to cuddle up with.

Dragonfly Dream  (watercolor) 26x30 Original: $900 11x14 matted prints: $35 16x20 matted prints $60 This painting started with a sketch I made at the park of two dragonflies resting for a moment.  I wanted a different kind of background for them so then I added the flowers.  The two cormorants are from another park sketch.  Altogether I feel like the painting has a dreamy feeling.

Turtle Party  (watercolor) Original: $350 11x14 matted prints: $35 16x20 matted prints $60 This painting is from a sketch at the little park by Pixie Playland in Concord California. There always seems to be lots of turtles there and these turtles are enjoying the sun.

Blooming Lily  (watercolor) 28x21 Original: $850 11x14 matted prints: $35 16x20 matted prints $60 This painting started out to be something else as I had meant to include some geese and other things but when I finished the flower I liked it so much as is I didn't want to add anything else.  This painting was done from a sketch of a photo of a flower at Heather Farms garden in Walnut Creek, CA.
