Project Description
“Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt,
and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen.”
Leonardo da Vinci
Color and texture play a major part in my work. I will be quick to say that these are the main entry points of my design and composition. I like to play with colors, create palette knife effects, and bold brush strokes.
Early Morning meditation

Being in the presence of an early sunrise surrounded by nature leads me to quiet meditation.
Forest Frosting
Acrylic on Canvas, Size: 32 inches by 32 inches, framed
Autumn has just bade farewell but the evergreens have stayed. Some fall colors adorned the forest as the first snow flurries
along my hikes by the Pisgah Forest touched my face. It was a nice feeling to experience the winds of change.
Changes
18″ x 24″
Scientist will explain why leaves lose its green pigment in autumn. I just love to paint all the colors of fall.
Warm tones of oranges, yellows and gold. Rust and even delicious splashes of pinks. Oh what a glorious transformation
happens in the landscape when the leaves start changing!
Journey into Winter
Acrylic on canvas, 12″ x 12″
The beauty of wintertime heralds good cheers. Holiday season, gift giving and remembering those who are not too fortunate – that we may share our bounty.
Forest in Gold
Acrylic on canvas, 11″ x 14″
I stared at all the colors of the trees in my backyard. What a wonderful tapestry, blending in harmony!
Summer Breeze
Acrylic on Canvas, 30″ x 30″
The water reflecting back what it ‘sees’ while the sun rays dance along with it. The ripples of water move the falling leaves all the way down the river. The summer breeze on my face and the swaying meadow grass bring back beautiful memories. I was happy to paint the moment.

The early sunrise peeking through the light blue sky was mesmerizing! An early morning walk
by the French Broad River was exhilarating! What a beautiful sight as I wait for the sun rise above the horizon.
