Hands Folded
I had so many options and choices to make for this one. I decided to stop here. It still has me pondering what if…. Acrylic on canvas, 16″ x 20′

Fence Line Road
On my frequent drives to Houston I pass by an area that I think is interesting. There is a flat pasture where cattle graze. Immediately beside it is a hilly wooded area. A dirt road runs at the edge of the woods, separating the contrasting landscapes. The road follows the contour of the hills just […]
Heart of Flowers
My youngest granddaughter decided to completely redo her bedroom. That included painting over the murals I painted which were a bunch of frogs doing things all around the world. Actually, she inherited the Frog Mural from her brother when she took over his room (see the link below). It seemed natural that for her birthday […]
Bluebonnet Mural
It took me a whole month but I finally completed a mural on my fence. I had lost some plants and when I removed them they exposed a very ugly fence. I decided instead of re-staining or painting it, I would paint a mural. Click on images to enlarge.

Learning to Swim
An idea popped into my head: Baby fish start their lives already knowing how to swim, its instinctive. Human babies work on walking for months, even longer. What if you’re half fish/half human? I depicted a Mermaid Mom teaching her little boy how to swim. Do we call him a Merboy; a Merkid? Click on […]
Happy Hanukkah!
I offer a sincere Happy Hanukkah to my Jewish friends. Acrylic on matboard, 9″ X 11″
Poppy Field at Sunset
It is what it is: a painting I really didn’t want to do in the first place and didn’t want to continue once it was started. But I was determined to struggle through. I finally reached a point where I thought, “I’m done.” Click on image to enlarge. Acrylic on canvas, 20″ x 24″
