Pulpit Rock 16x20 $125.00

I'm repeating myself: Cheaha State Park is one of Alabama's best kept secrets. One of my favorite views is from the summit of Pulpit Rock, totally awesome.  I never getting tired of Cheaha.

Shades of Pink 6x6 60.00

This small painting was done quickly in the last moments of a class session. Sometimes accidents turn out to surprise us. This "quickie" pleased me more than the painting I was focused on for the evening. ...like life.  Sometimes the best things happen when not expected.

Coastal Breeze 11x14 $70.00

As a junior high student, I was introduced to Daphene de Maurier's novels, which I LOVED. I had visions of myself as the lovely Rebecca, casting her gaze on the windswept coastal waters, the wind whipping of her long, luxuriant tresses, and pondering the mystery of the tall, mysterious stranger who has entered her life. Yeap....that was me all right. (The closest I will ever come to Rebecca or something remotely similar is this painting.)

Three of a Kind 6x10 $80.00

Another beautiful day is beginning. With coffee in hand, I surveyed the yard this morning, admiring the improvements. Satisfaction is found in working in the yard and seeing results. For the first time in months, I am beginning to feel "caught up" with the outside of my home. I'll need to remind myself of this when overwhelmed with school responsibilities later in the year. Great peace is found in the boundaries of  my yard.

Selma Riverside 16x36 $300.00

 I can count on one hand the number of times I have been to Selma, AL,  which is not to my credit.  I think I could spend some time there, more than the few minutes it took for me to take some snapshots which resulted in this painting. Perhaps some day, I can make a return trip and do justice to the interesting shops and river park.

Zinnias 6x6 $60.00

I've made an effort to plant only perennials this summer which would require less maintenance; I planted Shasta daisies near my front door. The plan was Shasta's'  bright blooms would be seen from a distance. So much for my pride. Most of the plants didn't last much less have "bright, showy blooms."  I should have planted zinnias, the old, dependable workhorse of the floral world.

Deserted Street 11x14 $80.00

I'm not sure why this scene appeals to me. Other than the drying clothes, a sign of life does not exist. Maybe the questions the scene generates are the appeal. Where is it? Where is everybody? The streets are wet, so why would the laundry be hanging on such a dreary day? Strange....
