"Clam dredging" (on Leeds Creek in November) 9 x 12' oil

Julia and took advantage of the glorious few days we had after the Waterfowl Fest in November. As we  sailed out of Leeds Creek and into the Miles, we came across this workboat vacuuming up long necked clams. It was just  gorgeous,  surrounded with sparkles and the autumn colors.

Summer Storm...22 x 36 oil

This is a slightly more contemporary painting. I wanted to try and capture the drama

and atmosphere through simple bands of color. With just a few large drops of rain as If you are looking at the storm through a large window (My mom's, to be precise)

Mini 6 x 6 show at the South Street Guild....

We had a fun mini show at the South Street Guild in Easton last night. All the artists did two 6 x 6 paintings, We framed them all the same way (Black gold chunky frames). The show looked great and sales were pretty good. I sold both mine plus an extra one I painted just in case.(actually I painted three extra ones, I got carried away with the theme)

Sunset On The Miles 18 x 24 oil SOLD

I never get tired of sailing around on the Miles river and watching those glorious sunsets.

"Uprising in the Marsh" oil 51 x 45''

I have just finished this painting . It's rather large, In fact way too big to fit in y car....thank goodness for neighbors with trailers!! It was quite a challenge. One of my students kept telling me to go to Assateague to see the birds and wild ponies.What an Incredible place. I came across a large flock of Egrets and gulls which burst out of the Salt marsh as I approached. I just had to paint them. What she didn't tell me about were the legions of mosquitos, horse flies and sheep flies which made it Impossible to hang about on the marsh. I am delighted that this painting just won the the "Artists choice award" at this year's Waterfowl Festival in Easton MD.

Winter morning oil 7 x 5

This is the view from my porch. It show geese on the Icy creek with a wonderful old Loblolly pine silhouetted against the rising sun

Frozen morning on the Creek 6 x 6 oil (Study) SOLD

It can get really cold here in winter. This shows a Bald Eagle on an old snag on Woodland Creek. The Ice had thawed and frozen again leaving some gorgeous sculptural shapes. This is one of several Eagles that make Woodland Creek there home. I want to paint this in a larger format 18 x 24" or 24 x 36"
