Sun's Promise – 4"X4" acrylics on masonite. I was inspired by a photo my cousin Lynn took. I tried to capture the beauty of the opposing forces of nature.

After a near fatal drowning experience in 2013, I realized just how precious life is and I wondered why I was waiting to do what I loved most. I just wasn

Drive By Painting 4"X4" mixed media on masonite. Visit the store on this site to purchase. I drive out to the country almost every weekend from spring to late fall and I see paintings flash before my eyes.
