| Artist's Note Winter is a major time here at the farm to reflect, regroup, and relax. It is also an excellent time to "woodshed" in the studio. In Toadhill Winter I tried to capture the fleeting moment of sunset which creates wondrously long shadows and great modulations of the colors of white. It is set on the lane leading from the road into our farmyard. |
| Flowers have always spoken to me; by their fragrance, color, texture and fragility. In this diminutive study I tried to capture these elements in a quick study of one of my unnamed Hemerocallis hybrids. This is one of my personal favorites. |
| Artist's Note This moment takes place in the White Garden in front of the porch on our farm house. It features my mom, Millie, and our former barn cat, Larry, who has now gone off to chase mice in Cat Heaven. |

| Artist's Note This young man is an early portrait of mine. His brooding look was captured here. What is causing it: youth, love, or knowledge? |
| Artist's Note Here is a little bit of the harvest from the farm. These squash were not only delicious but I thought their coloration quite festive. |
| Artist's Note These were the last of the orchid blooms paired with the first of the forced tulips. |
| Artist's Note Okay I had a lot of lemons on hand, (not from the farm) and I love the play of light and the freshness they imply. I have always dreamt of gardening in a warm climate and I am sure that's also one reason I chose this subject. |
| All the paintings, wood block prints, pastels, watercolors, and other works are all available for purchase, unless noted. Please contact me via e-mail and I will respond to you as quickly as I am able. Thank you very much for visiting my on-line gallery. |
