About Me

One of my New Year's Resolutions was to paint more often. Having two small children makes this quite a challenge, but I have been inspired by many of the Daily Painters I have seen, and felt drawn (no pun intended!) to join the movement. Fortunately, I have a wonderful husband who is very supportive. My goal is to create one small painting each day which I will post to this blog. I have always loved the arts, but only began painting a couple of years ago. I have been so fortunate to have had a wonderful mentor in Martin Ahrens. Martin and his wife Joyce Hall Ahrens are both incredible artists and instructors who emphasize the importance of light and shadows in making a painting come to life. I hope that you will enjoy my work. Please don't hesitate to comment, either positively or negatively. I hope to never stop learning and growing!

"Carambolas"


It was pure insanity in my house yesterday, and I didn't get a chance to post this painting until today. We had a carambola (aka, starfruit) tree in our yard when I was growing up in West Palm Beach, FL. These are such yummy fruit, but you just can't get good ones in the grocery store. I miss them! This painting is oil on 6"x8" canvas panel.
