Redhead Duck Painting




WooHooo!!!! We're back from Sacramento attending the California Duck Stamp contest judging! I took 3rd place Nation wide and the only Calif. artist to get into the top 3. The competition was tough and I'm so proud to get a ribbon at all!!! I had my wonderful husband Rich holding my hand and my great friends there too. ...Thank you so much for caring and being there with me. ♥

Canada Goose


$375
(includes custom framing)

"Canada Goose"
Small Painting Series

4" X 5" original

I recently went on a houseboat trip with my family to Shasta Lake in Northern California. Though this was strictly a fishing trip, a happy goose couple made their presence be known and followed us around from time to time looking for a handout. We didn’t feed them, but I did take advantage of this great photo opportunity and decided to make one of them my newest painting.

Comanche's passing


Comanche was a majestic ambassador. I will miss seeing him greatly. I'd like to share my pastel painting of him... his eyes were so gentle and spoke of his soul.

Update!!

Hello there! First let me wish a Happy Mother's Day to all of you wonderful mothers out there!! It's been awhile since I have posted because I have been busy working on my entry for the California Duck Stamp Contest. I completed and delivered it to Sacramento and I am waiting for a date for the live judging which I hear will be sometime before the end of this month. I can't wait to post the image for all of you to see when the judging is complete! My next project will be another small painting with a youtube video. With the time it has taken to complete the duck stamp entry and with the start of the art and craft show season, I haven't been able to work on my small painting series. I am so excited to get going again!!! I'm in the process of choosing what I will be painting (I'm bouncing around a couple of ideas) and I will post it when it's done!!
