Memories of Washington

This little oil painting, commissioned as a wedding memento, measures only 6"x6" and was a treat to paint - although I craved sweets the entire time!

(Black Swallowtail Butterfly + Imperial Moth)"

This painting includes a quote from French poet Alphonse Lamartine's "Le Lac. The translation, from french, is something along the lines of:

"O time, suspend your flight! And you, precious hours,

stop your course!"

Earlier this fall, I was honored to have Anticipation be included in the juried N.E.W show at the Visual Art Exchange in downtown Raleigh. The oldest non-profit in North Carolina, VAE hosts an annual "N.E.W" (never exhibited works) show, said to be their most anticipated show of the year. I was honored to have my work chosen. 

above: "Stolen Moment, with Cardinals"

oil on canvas, 16"x20" 2009   SOLD

This painting, Stolen Moment, with Cardinals, was one of my first paintings completed in oil. I have been relishing in this medium, and am learning more everyday. Continuing with my Avian Series of paintings, this piece explores a dreamscape in which humans freely mingle with birds, where there is a connection with nature.
