Fiona

Supplies Used: pre-made canvas and oil paint

Dimensions: 8 x 10 inches

Desired Compensation(open for discussion, trade?):sold

This is an unusual painting for me. I rarely paint portraits and I have only used oil paint a handful of times. I was pleased with the results. I am interested in working more with people and figures in my paintings. This was the first attempt. It was not a self portrait, it was done after a woman in a magazine. I will say that during painting it I had the thought of Fiona Apple in my head, so that might have come out a bit! That is why I call her Fiona.

Desired Compensation(open for discussion, trade?): sold

I am a native of Colorado and a lover of all things winter! I don't know if I could live happily in a place without mountains and natural beauty at my backdoor. I painted this painting years ago. It is simple and elegant. A collection of things that I love (snow, mountains, trees, and the color red)! Enjoy.

Buddha Meditation

Supplies Used: wood, canvas, acrylic paint, handmade stamp, screws, staples

Dimensions: 4 X 5 feet

Desired Compensation (open to both discussion and trading):sold

This painting was a test to my patients. Each of the lines was painted freehand. The hundreds of hand painted lines combine in an image of Buddhist monks meditating. Each Buddha is slightly different and box had its own qualities. It is one of my favorite pieces. I love doing yoga in my living room in front of it. The Buddhas bring a sense of balance and strength to the space.

Zen Garden

Supplies Used: Wood, canvas, acrylic paint, screws, and staples

Surrealist, landscape, original art

Dimensions: 2 X 4 feet

Desired Compensation(open for discussion, trade?): $sold

This painting was created from the idea of a zen space. A quiet place of serenity that is hidden in the folds of reality and fantasy. I love how it finds a balance of both light and dark. The yin and the yang of space and light. I find it brings me peace when I look at it. I hope that it can inspire the same stillness in the viewer.
