This is a painting I did for a novel cover. It was a blessing to work with the author and praise the Lord she loved the painting!

This is a portrait I did for my father's birthday.  His mother passed away when he was only 17 and I found an old black and white photo to create this.  It was very emotional and spiritual creating this..... and yes, he cried when he received it.  What a blessed moment. I look forward to meeting my grandmother in heaven.

"Morning Melon"

Woke up very early and had a nice time painting this slice of watermelon..... nothing like painting in the morning and enjoying a cup of coffee.  Of course I ate the watermelon when done!

"Curious Kittens"

Just finished this about a week ago..... what a fun piece for me to do!

Summer's Retreat

This is more of a study to get loosened up for a bigger painting of the Appalachian mountains. I'm surprised I don't do more NC mountain paintings since it is home for my entire family.

Barrel Rider

This is a commission piece I did for a man who wanted to surprise his wife for her birthday with this painting of her barrel racing. Thankfully, he was thrilled with the painting. The lettering on the barrel was challenging, but I believe really added to the character of the barrel.
