Skipping on the Great Sea
Skipping on the Great Sea, 11 inches tall by 14 inches wide, pastel on hardboard.
This pastel painting of a great shearwater running on the surface of the Atlantic ocean was inspired by my experience jigging in Newfoundland, during the summer of 2019. The shearwaters and seagulls would gather around the ships looking for fish scraps. And they would 'skip' away when they were ready to take off. Such a beautiful thing to see how they can dance on the water's surface.
This is an original one of a kind pastel painting. Colors vary from screen to screen, but vibrant blues, purples and off-white dominate in this painting. Please email me if you have any questions about color, size or would like more pictures.

Taking it in (Red Headed Woodpecker)
"Taking it in" Mixed media on canvas, 9" circle
I’m sure I’ve seen red headed woodpeckers growing up on the east coast. Their range is all over Maryland and Virginia but I don’t ever remember seeing one, hearing their call or seeing evidence of their ‘art’ on trees.
Recently, I’ve encountered dozens of them in Western Iowa. Either they are very active at the end of summer in western Iowa or Iowa is the place to find them. Seeing their bright red heads and Art Deco like color pattern as they flap from tree to tree is pretty remarkable and it makes me sad that I never noticed them before.
Lately I feel like I’ve been so wrapped up in the negative of the world that I’ve overlooked things that would make me smile. But this red headed woodpecker is reminding me to stop and take it all in. I hope it inspires you to stop and appreciate all that we take for granted.
That was the inspiration behind this red-headed woodpecker painting, an appreciation for something so strikingly beautiful. This painting combines thread, pastel and watercolor in circle format. It is available unframed but stretched on a loop. It can be sold framed for the cost of the frame. Please feel email me for more information.
Colors vary from screen to screen, the dominant colors in this painting are greens and turquoise against bright yellow and tan, with dark wings.
Little Bluebird Fly
Sold out
Little Bluebird Fly, mixed media on canvas, 10" circle
This little painting is of an Eastern bluebird flying off, perhaps over the rainbow... Created using watercolor, thread and pastel on canvas, in circle format. Part of a series on migration.
This bluebird was seen migrating south for the winter through a marshy area off the coast. Eastern bluebirds may migrate short distances in some parts of their range, but some eastern bluebirds have been known to migrate over 2000 miles. Their migration like all birds depends on the weather and their natural habitat. Those far north, will definitely travel great distances to find somewhere warm in the summer. Eastern bluebirds are primarily found on the eastern coast of the United States, though their range can spread as far west as New Mexico.
This painting is sold unframed but in the hoop, but can be framed for a little extra, please email me for more information. The "frame" images are for show.
Colors vary from screen to screen, but the dominant colors in this painting are a light bright blue and rusty red.

That Bird of mine - American Robin
That Bird of mine (American Robin), 7.75" diameter, Mixed Media.
I don't think there is a more North American bird than the American Robin. It may not stand out as much as the Bald Eagle, but it is found in our backyards across the continent, even breeding in Alaska. From Canada to Mexico, this bird is typically seen grazing in the grass for worms, perhaps inspiring the "early bird gets the worm" idea. I'm not sure if that's true, but I personally associate it with that little phrase. And because it is so abundant, perhaps you have an appreciation for or a positive experience with this little black and orange bird - Or maybe it brings you joy every spring when you hear it's song.
This painting's title is inspired by an old favorite poem of mine by Emily Dickinson, I have a bird in Spring (#5).
