About Me

McMinnville, OR, United States
Hi! Welcome to my blog. I am a mixed media artist who lives in McMinnville, Oregon. I work in acrylics, watercolor, pastel, charcoal and other water and drawing media. My main subjects are abstracts, abstract landscapes, florals and gardens, equine abstracts and pet portraits. I love to use color!

Ultramarine & Gold

A strong winter storm is blowing through Southern California today. So I thought these colors would be a cheery contrast to the grey day! 8x10 watercolor with pastel.

Dark Blue Falls

This is a 4x4 abstract on paper. This is an acrylic painting in which I added some layers and then scraped away some of the paint. Let me know what you think!

Tuffy

I do pet portraits on occasion - and who would not want to do a portrait of this puppy! I did "Tuffy" in colored pencil. He is sitting on "his" pillow. He's a real sweetheart. I hope I captured that! SOLD
