Fun with Florals

Recently, I gave a watercolor workshop at Star Harbor, Texas to a group of 18 fellow floral enthusiasts. We had a great time exploring the magic and beauty of watercolor!

SWA International Juried Exhibit - Ft Worth, Tx


This summer, my painting, At Maxine's, was chosen for the Society of Watercolor Artists International Juried Exhibit.

A Face in the Crowd


Florals! Florals! I love florals. This painting was inspired by some of the most beautiful orchids I saw at the San Antonio Arboretum.

One...Singular Sensation!

This painting was inspired by a photo I took at the San Antonio Arboretum. It so reminded me of the wonderful song from the Broadway play, A Chorus Line, titled One. This painting was also selected to be a part of the TVAA Nature and Wildlife Exhibition in their downtown Dallas gallery.

Three for the Road


I have always been inspired by Nature, and its beauty. Having lived on a lake for the last 15 years, I'm always thrilled to see the beautiful wood ducks that you sometimes catch a rare glimpse of. These beautiful creatures inspired me to paint this watercolor. This painting was recently selected to be a part of the Texas Visual Arts Association Nature and Wildlife Exhibit in the Plaza of the Americas downtown gallery.

In a Field of Poppies


This is a large follow-up painting of poppies I saw in Hubbard, Texas along the roadside. As I was driving through this small Texas town, my eye was caught by the beauty of the majestic red "popping out" from the blanket of green.
