Against the Wind

Admired from Afar

     This mature red stag calls out for love - not realizing that he is already being admired from afar. Can you see her?

October Flames

     My husband and I were trout fishing in southern Missouri one October when the trees were ablaze with color.
     This pastel painting is inspired by the trout stream where we spent that wonderful week.
     SOLD.

Fall Glory

     My sister visited last September. One morning we woke to a golden sunrise and drove around the countryside in our pajamas taking photos of a beautiful morning. This pastel painting is inspired by a photo we took of the Des Moines River near Fulda, MN.
     It is triple matted and framed.
SOLD - Prints still available

The Blue Gate

    My husband and I own 50 acres in northwest Missouri.  I have always loved the interplay of that sky-blue gate against the beautiful rusts and browns of the fall foliage.  Last fall I finally caught that on film.
     This is a medium sized pastel painting on Wallis paper inspired by that photo.  Like all my paintings, it is triple matted and framed.
    SOLD.

Crashing Water

    This painting is inspired by a photo I took while pack packing in Glacier National Park.
     This is a small pastel painting, only 12"x9", but evokes wonderful memories of vast majesty of the park at the trail approaches the Continental Divide.
     Triple matted and framed behind museum glass. $110.
