Shell Fragment


Shell fragment, one of five shell paintings from a series I did in 1996. I liked the colors found in nature, the peach and pink and grays. Very pretty and canvas made these paintings soft in texture.

Shell Fragment


This painting is about 18 x 18 inches. It is painted on canvas and I've used glazing and dry brush to get a transparent effect and for a solidity, or opacity.

Two Birds

After I moved to Bellingham, my nephew died. At the memorial, his widow picked the song Three Little Birds. Three feathers appeared on the back porch. Later that summer I painted this painting, Two Birds.
