Barbados Beach Comber (11X14)
This painting was inspired by a recent trip to Barbados. The water was a gorgeous turquoise color and the beaches were white sand. This image is based on the work of a local painter named Janice Brock.

Hogwarts (11x14)
This is by far the most complicated painting I have made to date. The details were, quite frankly, a bit intimidating. I took my time and painted this one in three steps: the sky, the castle, and the water with the boats. All together, I spent about 8 hours painting this one. But I am so proud of how it came out! I am gaining confidence in my craft.
The world of Harry Potter holds a special place in my heart. This scene depicts the first year students arriving at their new school for the first time. I dedicate this work to the final movie, coming out in just weeks. Lumos!

Long Beach (11x14)
This painting is based on my mother's photography (see SelectiveSight.com). We took a trip to Long Beach, Washington a few years ago and the beach was covered in a blanket of fog. This image captures the tranquility of that day.

Oregon Beach Sunset
This one is painted in a compact 8x8 size. It manages to capture a sense of freedom in flight and you can almost feel the ocean breeze. Bring on summer road trips!
