"Too Many Angels" title from a Jackson Browne song and if you know me you know why. Working from a photo I took at a nursery in Sharon MA.
A challenging piece to say the least.

"Bits and Saddles" 22 x 27 This was actually painted before "Saddle Up" posted earlier, practicing the leather before I attempted the larger work. I love trying to achieve realistic texture. Love working on leather and metal.

"Feeding Time" Not to often do I put a figure in, but this was from a picture of a man I had from long ago. I changed his clothing and added some birds. Originally it was a long painting then I decided all the background was not necessary. SOLD

OK, This is the second time I painted this subject, (Ken's guitar) the first one sold but I liked it so much I decided to paint a full sheet with my favorite rug as the background. This time it is a full sheet. I love it! It was accepted into the Portsmouth Arts Assoc. Juried show in June.
I am a New England watercolor artist. I began painting in 1997 and enjoy painting everyday.I work on both Arches cold and hot pressed paper and yupo paper. I enjoy showing my work in local galleries and juried shows. When I am not painting I'm either gardening or painting old furniture.
I hope you enjoy my work and I welcome your comments.
