The afternoon winter glow
Lost in the wilderness
On a sunny summer day, a modest bridge surrounded by trees sits above the reflecting greenish lake exuding an air of tranquility in the middle of prospering flora.
Green occupies a majority of the space in the painting. Trees, grass, and the bridge dominate the water and the sky, which conveys a message about the strength of natural life.

Shadows under the Banyan Tree
The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; ROBERT FROSTThe inspiration behind this painting is the poem quoted from Robert Frost. I am always mesmerized by the imagery of an enigmatic forest where there are two roads, like the choices we have in life. A thought-provoking landscape that can actually take is to time travel !!!

In my Dream
Acrylics on professional gallery-wrapped canvas.
My inspiration for this painting canes from the following poetic lines from Gerry Lagister’s poem:
"Streams in the desert" When hours had pass with painful cross I travelled on till I could go no further, Then at last; in all the pain of sad losses, I rest serene beneath the tranquil power. God gave me quietness and assurance To drink from the stream in the desert And wash my feet press sore in peace, That they in grief may walk in the spirit.Size: 36x48
In the Marsh
A thin wet sky, that yellows at the rim, And meets with sun-lost lip the marsh’s brim. The pools low lying, dank with moss and mould, Glint through their mildews like large cups of gold.Emily Johnson beautifully captures the spirit in her poem, “Marshlands”, the essential message of this gorgeous painting in oil pastels. I feel drifting along the wetlands without any purpose except pure golden bliss. Medium: Oil pastels on pastel sheet. Size: 18x24
The Beginnings
Gliding Across the Valley
Acrylics on professional gallery-wrapped canvas.
The inspiration behind this painting is a visit to the Rocky Mountains. The hills are decadent with green and blue foliage as if wearing a rich royal garment with new buds springing and a sparky of wild roses and daisies.
Oh! How I love to be there again and again.
The winding road vanishing behind that mysterious grove is another untold story!

By the Lake

Looking at this painting the wind seems to whip through my hair, knotting it beyond belief, as sprays of water splashes me in the face. Sunshine beat down on all of us, helping to warm us all. Laughter drifts about on the boat as we all enjoy ourselves.
I can gaze at it for hours with my coffee and unwind the troubles of the day.

Down, down down
The milky white clouds floating in the howling wind match the chalky white color of the snow, scattered all over the colossal mountain. The forceful wind is blowing a gale like a hurricane providing us with an intrepid journey ahead.
The jagged rocks are like sharp knives piercing my feet through my thick leather boots. I am staggering up the vast mountain through the overruling wind that is gently brushing past my face.
I am in love with this slow drifting snow… going down, down…..down”

On the Edge of a Forest
Acrylics on professional gallery-wrapped canvas.
In this forest, I am with my tribe of wood and leaf, among the giants that hug the earth. It is a place of my refuge with the sweet smell of flowers and the soothing sound of water and songs of the birds, forever embedded in the air.
A hug of browns, a shelter of extended limbs resting beneath the foliage.
I am in love with this painting, especially in the scorching heat of the long summers.
Upon the forest floor, lies the leaves, fallen in storms long forgotten, but still beautiful. All of this natural composition is what makes this painting, a piece of art.
