Grape Expectations

Original digital painting of a small grape vineyard.

grape expectations
bold flavor in the waiting
a yearning palette

The peaceful beauty of a vineyard is what draws me to the wine country. It  rejuvenates and pleases my palette. Painting a vineyard stirs tantalizing memories and exotic desires for a good dry wine … bold in flavor, savoring the sensual liquid that melts my soul.

Dusk at Sea

Original digital painting of dusk at sea.

in brilliant color
dusk brushes strokes of beauty
in the fold of waves

Today is different. I am pleasantly lost at sea. Traveling the depths of my soul, I paint my way up to the surface. No boat to carry me. No trees in sight to ground me. Do not disturb this quiet solitude. It has swallowed me in pleasure and I am not ready to be found.

Daily Bliss

Original digital painting of a young woman rowing her boat to sea, a daily pastime of bliss.

she rows into bliss
seeing beneath the surface
the depth of her soul

Besides a passion for color, I enjoy painting figuratives, landscapes and seascapes. In this painting, it is symbolic of my own love for rowing away from shore–finding the perfect spot to stop for long moments of quiet contemplation. Boating is one of my own favorite pastimes.

Refracting Light

Original painting of the blue sky refracting light on the sea at dawn.

blue skies bending down
refracting light deep and wide
water reaches up

Though I don’t exhibit my “sea” paintings, I love painting them. 90% of my time painting is digital. The other 10% is spent painting on canvas using heavy body acrylics. When I do paint on canvas, I find myself drawn to painting the sea. There’s a different connection for me with a brush in my hand versus a stylus pen used in digital painting. The lightness of a brush, its texture, the smell of the paint, the organic flow that puts me in the deepest part of my emotional being where I connect profoundly with the sea.

Blending Together

Original digital painting of trees blending together against the backdrop of a lavender sky.

blending together
colors give way to the fall
that moves them to winter

I love blending lots of colors digitally…layering and shaping color into beautiful landscapes while adding texture and creating shadows. It takes a lot of time and patience to paint traditional subjects using digital tools. To give my work the depth and beauty that I strive for, each color I paint with becomes a single layer. I can have as many as 100+ layers that I merge when the painting tells me it is finished.

Still Mountains

Original digital painting of a mountain range casting shadows below from the warm sunset.

paints the other side

The painter reaches deeper and pulls the beauty along the thread of existence and into time. Words run around and fall down into place as the image takes hold the rhythm of a gifted heart. No life is needed. No fear to awaken from. No profound thoughts. Only the  inspiration carrying the colors safely to the palette.

A Walk in the Woods

Original digital painting of a young woman walking in the woods on a crisp autumn morning.

leaves along the edge
spread the palette with small strokes
flaking and shaking

I’m in the mood to paint in autumn’s palette … to capture falling color in small strokes that will soon blend into winter’s decay. Day’s are filled with quiet contemplation and a readiness for going deeper into my own winter. By December, I’ll give way to the inner sanctuary that allows me to paint–to immerse my creative drive in memories and stories that emerge as visual art.
