The White Raven! Rarely seen and mystical. He is adorned with a wreath of flowers and berries to welcome the coming holidays.
My favorite time to paint is early in the morning. When it is quiet and I have had my coffee.My studio is outside so I have a few steps from my house to get to it. I think there is something very intimate in the smaller works having always painted quite large. Painting usually everyday and always in the morning I have chosen the title Morning Paintings.

Newest Pillow. Softer colors and ruffels of linen in white,cream and the soft green of the painting and back ground. Backing is linen, the same color as the pillow in a soft green called "meadow".

this bird house is a birthday gift from my mom. I just love it. I love it so much it is in my kitchen! I am not depriving local birds of a home, I have several homes for them out side. This was built locally by Marsha at "Birds of a Feather". Oh and the bird? He is a little blue bird motion detector and sings when I walk by. I LOVE it!!

5"7" oil on board. This beautiful little bird lives in England. Visiting England a few years ago I did not see one. Lots and lots of beautiful birds but not the Blue Tit. Is it elusive? I think I would swoon if I saw one of these sweet little birds.
