Muppet


This is Muppet. She was fearless. She was bit by a rattlesnake actually and survived. Her skin turned black but she never really got sick. I think it just barely grazed her. I couldn't let her out alone after that as the hawks used to dive at her thinking she might make a pretty good dinner. Now, I only have a watch dog a shepard. Very big. She kills rattlesnakes. I'm very happy about that.

Lucy


This is Lucy. We painted together for 12 years. I still miss her even though she has been gone for a long time.

Anniversary Doll


This doll was made for me for my 15th anniversary. I just had to paint her.

Apple

I love to paint apples. This apple was mainly for a color study but I thought I would pass it on.

Underwater Sea Garden

This turtle is painted from a photo taken by my daughter on one of her dives. It is 18 x 22. I had fun painting this one.

Tahoe Field


Another great day.

This is a wonderful road to see all the poppies in the spring. Tonzi Road, Amador County.

Flower Farm 2

This is a huge flower farm along the freeway that we pass when traveling to S.F. I stopped and took some pictures on this day and slipped and
fell into a small trench. After climbing out I was still able to get some great pictures. this painting is on sand paper and is 28 x32.
