Chautauqua Shale

Fish Road Views

$40
This is a view just down the road from a friend's new house.  Beautiful country, where the lake and all of the oncoming weather is very visible for miles.  It is an 11x14 canvas piece that I'll be showing on Saturday mornings at Moore Park in Westfield NY this summer at our Farmer's Market.  Come and take a look around!

The Birch Path

This is an incredible piece of shale, its surface ridged and rippled, its edges utterly uneven.  I love this piece.  It's also very difficult to get a good picture of, because of all of the ridges.  I've never tried to paint birch trees before, but found this picture and just had to try it.  At its widest, this piece is about 12x9 inches.

Lincoln and Grace

$30 SOLD
These statues are just down from my apartment, on the corner of Main Street and Portage.  Abe Lincoln apparently made a stop in Westfield and stopped to see the little girl who had written to him, recommending that he grow the beard that he is so well known for.  It is one of Westfield's claims to fame.  Let me know what you think of it!

The Moore Clock

$30 sold
I have been planning to do this piece for a long time and now, I've finally gotten it done.  This is from the park that is just across the street from the apartment, a pretty place to be able to see out the front windows.  I have to admit, I hoped it would be better than it is, but I do like it.  I hope you do as well.  Oh and the shale is about 12x15 inches at its widest.

The Farm

$30  Sold
I was asked by a friend to paint a farm scene, so here it is.  It was a difficult scene for me to paint, because I know very little about the average farm.  I enjoyed the piece though, so I hope she does as well.  :)

The Main Vineyard

$40 SOLD on display at Parkview Ice Cream in Westfield NY
When you're driving south out of my town, this is what you will see to the east.  All around us, there's vineyards and lakes.  It is a truly beautiful place to live.

Main Street

$40 sold
I'm going to say it, although I dislike the idea of saying it, I love this piece.  It is a scene taken from the building just across from my apartment and if I had turned the camera a bit to the left, you could see my front windows.  I hope you like it as much as I do.  I'll be showing it at the Harvest Festival at SUNY Fredonia on Saturday, September 27, 2008.  Hope to see you there!

Autumn Lane

I love the fall.  It is my favorite time of the year and it seems never to last long enough.  I painted this scene, to elongate the season for myself.  :)  Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Golden Vineyard

Sold $30 and copied for another sale
I realized that I hadn't done a landscape in quite a while, so sat down to do this one.  This is what I like to think of as an iconic Westfield scene, the vineyards and the gorgeous big skies with perfect sunsets.  It will be shown at Art in the Park in Westfield, so if you want a closer look, come by. 

Mary's Vineyard

$100 SOLD 
I painted this piece a couple of years ago.  To date, I think it is my best piece and is most definitely my largest piece.  This piece has been on display in several places, including the biennial art show at the Patterson Library, in 2006 and has been on display for nearly a year at the commission for the blind.  It is now back in Westfield.  I hope you get to see it.
