Hamilton-Sullins House - Sold






































14" x 11"
oil on linen panel


I will be painting with a group from Mountain Brook Art Association in Hamilton, Alabama  Thursday and Friday.  This town has a lot of history.    "The city was first call Toll Gate but later the name was changed to honor Captain Albert James Hamilton.  Captain Hamilton donated forty acres of his land to the town, surrounding what is now known as the Historic Hamilton-Sullins House.  The same forty acres were then divided into lots and sold to help cover the cost of building the courthouse. " (Hamilton  Area Chamber of Commerce and Hamilton B.A.S.E. )  I personally love Hamilton.  We lived there for 6 years and we were surrounded by people who are so unique.  Most of them lived in Hamilton all of their lives.  Many went off to college, married their childhood sweetheart and moved back.  A very special place indeed full of loving people.

You're A Knockout - SOLD


10" x 10" oil on linen panel


This morning I got up early, fed the hummingbirds, cut the last of my knockout roses and set up to paint them.  I thought I had a great idea in mind.  Well......let me just say that anyone who has painted before knows the agony of trying to control Cadmium Red paint.  It gets everywhere!  I spent an hour washing brushes, the carpet, myself and my dog.  There are times when someone will ask me to paint a painting similar to one I have painted before.  I can tell you that this will not happen with this painting.  If you like this painting I would just say please buy it because I may never paint with Cadmium Red again.

Peace in the Mountains - SOLD






































I love it when a customer ask to have a painting of a scene so beautiful. 
I enjoyed painting this and find such serenity in the composition.  This is 
one of my favorites.
