 A few weeks ago, I challenged myself to paint 30 miniatures to be executed fast on left over pieces of Wallis paper. I have really enjoyed the process and I have nine more to go before the year is over. This small piece of cottonwoods in fall attire is from my hiking trip in Zion this last October.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I am looking forward to painting this year's fall colors!

The rocky coast of Maine is an endless source of inspiration. The texture, shapes, colors of the rocks and the wild vegetation that grows in their cracks (asters being my favorite) was the inspiration for "Nestled", a first in my new Rocks of Maine series.
