GO!  

I've been painting since 1998.  I enjoy the giddy excitement of opening a new blank canvas or pulling off a new sheet of watercolor paper.  The creative possibilities are endless.

My favorite compositions are of still life, particularly flowers.  My paintings are but mere amateur copies of the Creator's genius. 

God's creation

My copy of His creation

Some of my most peaceful times are when it's just me, the sounds of my favorite music and of my brush grazing across the canvas, and my mind settling down to focus on nothing but strokes of color--my version of coloring in a blanket fort.

STOP!
