Conoy House in the Snow

This is a commissioned pastel of a log house in Elizabethtown, PA. Jim Showers the owner had seen my print of the Hans Herr House  and wanted me to do his house like that one. I had done that at night and in the snow. I like the little side element that is silhouetted on the left side of the house. Jim has a lot of unusual artifacts about his home

LOOK AT THAT!

This is a small painting taken 
from the cover of a daily 
prayer book I received.
I was sitting at a show 
with my little watercolor 
pad and started it in 
watercolor. Later at 
home I used some colored 
pencils just about everywhere.

LANCASTER FARMLAND

I just love the colors in this painting. So much that I am working on a long thin one with cows in it. Actually the  day I was out there photographing there were a lot of cows laying around. It is a watercolor and about 9 by 12 inches.

Hummingbird with Red Flowers

I started this with watercolor 
and then went in with 
some colored pencil. 
The original is about 6 by 9 
and is available also in prints.
