Dogwood at the Lake House

This is another small painting I just finished. It is a 6x12 oil on gessoed board and the paint is still wet and thick. It was fun. This is our hill in back of our cabin at the lake. The hills were just aglow with the dogwood this past weekend. Such beauty! God did good on these here hills in the Ozarks!! Love it!
I had an internet friend come see me from Canada as she drove through the states.  I gave her this painting so she would have a remembrance of the Missouri dogwoods

Heron at the Whistle

I have photographed this area so much as it is close to where one of my painter friends live. Such a pretty area and there is usually a heron around close. I got some good photos of the heron, just rearranged the photo and trees a little to improve on the composition. This is a 6x12 oil on a canvas panel.

Evening Shadows


This is a small 6x12 oil which I painted last evening. It was quick and it was fun. I have been digging through a lot of my old photographs and trying to make a painting out of sort of whatever I pick up. Challenging sometimes. I tried to leave this a little loose and not paint every leaf on the trees. Hard for me to do.

Pomme River

This is a small 5x7 on a wrap around canvas and sits on a small gold easel. I painted a larger one from this same photo and have posted it earlier.

Camden Co. Stream


I painted this from a photo that I took several years ago. I was driving around the pretty spring countryside looking for the dogwood in bloom and happened to cross this little stream. No dogwood in bloom there but such a pretty spot. This is an 11x14 oil on Fredrix linen canvas panel.
