Dogs and Puppies Dogs are Man's Best Friend but also Woman's Best Friend, protectors of children. They only want to love you. They never judge you. Your new family member is waiting at your local animal shelter! |
Cats and Kittens Cats and kittens are fun to draw and paint. Far too many never find their "forever" families, however, and come to a sad end. Animal shelters are overwhelmed with cute kitties: they need YOU! |
Birds Birds are challenging to paint and draw! Florida, where I live, has many types of birds, either natives or migratory species. I love 'em all! |

Neon Snook Snook are Florida's most popular sport fish, but are also important to the preservation of habitat. They require mangrove forests as nurseries: no mangroves, no snook, simple as that. |

Early Moonrise I freely admit it, Georgia O'Keeffe's mysterious images have inspired my Shell Fragments fantasy series, along with lyrics by Pink Floyd. |
Flight of Fancy Pink Floyd and Georgia O'Keeffe are two of my greatest inspirations and in my fantasy seashell series I pay homage to them both. |
Above the Planet My fantasy seashell painting, soaring above the ocean, was inspired by a Pink Floyd lyric. |

Teapot Conversations #1 I believe teapots talk to each other! Here's a zinnia for you, the turquoise teapot says to the Chinese teapot. |
Teapot Conversations #2 What else would one teapot say to the other one, seemingly poised to jump from a Harney's tea canister, but "Don't Jump!"? |
Teapot Conversations #3 Two white china teapots encounter an upside down white teacup and seem to ask it, Are You Okay? |

Teapot Conversations #4 A Log Cabin patchwork quilt echoes the log cabin on the North Carolina pottery teapot, as squirrels scamper over the Chinese Yingko teapot. |
