View From Bridgewater Plaza


This is one of the best views at Smith Mountain Lake, as far as I'm concerned.  What can be better than the blue water and beautiful mountains?!

North Carolina Lighthouses

This was a painting I did for my sister-in-law and my first try at painting lighthouses. I decided to do three small paintings instead of just one and was pleased with the outcome.

Stewman's Lobster Pound


This is a painting of one of my favorite places in Bar Harbor, Maine; not only for the fresh lobster but for the wonderful weathered wood and buoys all over the building. I have wanted to paint it for the last three years. This past summer when we were in Bar Harbor we were surprised to find it had been totally remodeled. It no longer had the beautiful weathered look. The fresh paint and new wood motivated me to paint this wonderful memory.
