Welcome to the Jungle

Having grown up in the Midwest & Northeast where the landscape is lush and rolling, I find the South Carolina Lowcountry other worldly. I am ALWAYS amazed at this landscape–it has such a primitive and raw feel to it. And the more time I spend here, the more I love it. It really does remind […]

Coastal Bliss x3

Time to get lost in the magic of the Maine coast! Here are 3 recent paintings from walks along the Maine Coast. All beautiful, all so different. I love the cheer of the boats in harbor with the light sparkling on the water, the softness of the morning light in the field that lies near […]

Marsh Beauty

Marsh Beauty • 6×6 • oil on canvas • SOLD Witnessing the changes on the marsh throughout the day is soooo cool. The tide moves in and out, the light shifts, the grass blows and all kinds of wildlife comes through. What an amazing place. Just today I watched the egrets fly right in front of […]

Spring Sunrise

Spring Sunrise • 6×6 • oil on wood • SOLD I’m down in the South Carolina Lowcountry soaking up the morning sunrise magic on the beach with my pups and morning dog walk friends. There really isn’t a better way to start the day than with the sun on the beach and pups bounding about […]

Sea Smoke I & II

I’ve been meaning to finish these paintings of that incredible sea smoke from the arctic blast we had back in February, and I figured today’s snow day was the perfect day for it! That weekend of the deep freeze we headed out in the car for some frigid sight seeing and it was so gorgeous. […]

Morning Light Show

Last week I took the pups out in the yard for an early morning tinkle and I could tell that the sky was working on something spectacular. I bundled up and headed down to the Eastern Prom where I was treated to the most incredible light show–the sky was on fire! And it lasted for […]

Afternoon Cove

What a beautiful day we had today–mild temps, sunshine and more daylight than yesterday! One step closer to spring. Ahhhh. And I just felt like getting lost in the beauty of an afternoon walk on the shores of a lovely island cove. The light, the colors, the water were just what I needed to surround […]

Winter Head Light

We had a nice little stretch of winter weather complete with snow storms and a cold snap. It was so beautiful. After one of the storms we decided to go for a spin and see our favorite places covered in snow. Here’s the Portland Head Light basking in the morning light after a fluffy snowfall. […]

Cardinal in Snow

The snowfall on Friday was so beautiful! I was sitting at the kitchen table looking out the window and a cardinal popped into the frame. I just love cardinals. They are so vibrant in our winter landscape and so sweet to watch. This one sat on the branch for a minute and then hopped around […]

Island Lookout

Winding up a narrow trail through the mossy trees and big granite rocks was a treat in itself! And then being rewarded with this view was just the icing on the cake. Wow. So much beauty and sense of freedom here. I love this little Ten Cent Island that sits framed between the tree branches […]
