On this site are recent paintings done in oil. I primarily use a palette knife. I love the thick texture and the happy little mistakes that happen along the creative process.

Heading  up to Ely Minnesota last winter,  we came around the corner and this beautiful barn was standing there.  I couldn't wait to paint it!

Misty Taste Of Moonshine ©

Boat houses are fun to paint.  This one is located in Algonquin, IL.  As I was painting this John Denver's song popped into my head....hence "Misty Taste Of Moonshine".

Spring is in the Air ©

     
Flowers are fun to paint especially with a palette knife. The flowers are very impressionistic, like most of my paintings are. I love the feel of them.....happy!

Lake In Ely ©


This painting was done of a lake in Ely, Minnesota. My friends and I were in Ely visiting the International Wolf Center. On the way home we passed this beautiful lake which I had to paint. I painted this with palette knife only.
