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!

"Lavender Alley"

I love this painting! The light and shadows really make it pop out. The colors were a bit exaggerated, but I like the effect very much. I also like the shadow of the church steeple on the alley roadway. This is oil on 9"x12" stretched canvas.

Thanks so much for your nice compliment and for your interest! I had not planned to sell prints, but will be happy to look into it and let you know how much it would cost. I really appreciate your asking - hope you have a wonderful weekend!
