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.

Farm On Bergett ©


One Sunday morning I decided to paint a farm down the street from our house.  I've passed by this house for years, so this was the day!  It was so cool because I got to meet a lot of our neighbors when they stopped and asked what I was doing!
