Morning Light

Oil on canvas

Signed; also signed and titled on the reverse
I love to paint boats; there is a tranquility and a calmness about them. I find it fascinating how the light spills over their sails and how the water reflects on the hulls. Water offers great opportunity to create patterns that serve to orchestrate the eye through a painting.

A Menuet

Oil on canvas
8 x 12 inches
Signed; also signed and titled on the reverse

Flowers are such a joy to paint. I love these intimate portraits because they capture the flowers character and grace. A menuet is a very old dance of French origin. It is derived from the French word menu (small) and refers to the steps of the dance. I named this painting "A Menuet" because of the geranium's graceful movement and delicate lyrical notes of color.
