“Sweater weather “ - Painted this in Vermont on my front steps. I went to the top of the mountain where the leaves were more colorful and bagged some up for the composition.

“Ireland” - I used to travel to Ireland with my parents for the month of May for many years. My Uncle had a house there with two donkeys ( I ended up getting two donkeys in Vermont because I loved them.) Here are a few paintings from that time period.

"Carmen's Hat" - Watercolor on paper. When I first moved here I saw these Christmas tree palms. I had never seen these seed pods on them before and the colors were amazing to me. I couldn't wait to paint them. Well I did and never did again. I enjoyed the process and journey

“Nani” - per portrait for a friend. I used to dog sit Nanni. I didn’t have a dog at the time which for me is terrible so I loved watching her. I lived in a trailer then on a lagoon in the Keys. Honestly it was awesome ! We would play “attack the pelicans “ nobody got hurt !

Pet portrait progression 6 yrs ago. There is no white paint in watercolor. You have to save the white of the paper . This is what makes watercolor more difficult that acrylic or oil. If you lose the white it is gone. The trick is not being married to the end result….you can scrub some of it off .

"Summer stories" This is a tiny watercolor collage I did yesterday. There was an article about the Great White sharks attacking the seals where I swim in the paper yesterday so I collaged the story into the painting......and I don't think I will be swimming there for a while....bummer !

"Diver down" - Watercolor on paper. I photographed this fella in Islamorada in the Keys many years ago and several paintings came from it. When possible I use my own photos to create paintings and even then it is a reference to jump from. My imagination takes over with color, composition

"Leviathan" - Watercolor on paper. The first time I went on a whale watch was on a date. I was asked to go. I had never been on one but thought they were a tourist thing and weren't very interesting. It was in Provincetown, Cape Cod and I brought my camera just in case. I am really glad I did !

"Feel the Love" - Watercolor on paper of my yellow lab Wyeth. This painting made it to the cover of the Orvis catalog. I have to say I have had men in my life that said they loved me. All of my dogs I could feel they loved me…..it was unconditional. The men not so much.

"Cape Cod Pearls" - Watercolor on paper. I used to spend summers in North Truro, Cape Cod for a few summers. What a magical place and an amazing chapter. I used to walk the beach with seals swimming ten feet away, great white sharks as well, but both are amazing creatures.

“Hannah Murphy’s Cottage. This was my first successful landscape watercolor. I painted this in Ireland, in a field with two donkeys sniffing me and knocking down my little set up table. My Uncles house was below it. The old woman that lived there was Hannah Murphy.....He used to bring her groceries.

“Something fishy” - watercolor on paper, a piece for the Basin Harbor show a long time ago. If you were juried into the show they let the artist stay gratis for a few days in early summer and you had to create four pieces for the show depicting the resort on Lake. Champlain. A beautiful place !

This was a weird commission but fun. The painting is all based on the ring. A woman gave the ring to her assistant because he liked it on her finger. He brought me the ring and asked me to paint it for her……..I created this which was way more than he asked for. I’m glad I got to do this.

"Dream of the gray mouse" - This was one of two cats we had in Vermont. Mertz was a great cat and mouse killer (He drooled when you pet him though....I always thought that was gross). He always left us the head of his victims, and evidently had a signed contract with the house mice.

"Roddy"- This was a dog I lived with in New Mexico. Who was older, and not well. My dog Winslow became his buddy and stayed with him until he died. My dog Winslow stayed in New Mexico and I came to Key West. It was hard to leave him behind but he was needed there and went on to live a great life.

"Unconditional" - Another watercolor of Addison. This was a lesson in painting something white. White rarely is just white. There are a number of colors in white objects, animals, buildings whatever in the composition that is "white"....blues, violets, browns, yellows.
