About

I am among the heirs to a wondrous planet. 

I am a keeper of seeds and guardian of the soil. 

I drive the country roads in search of butterflies that flutter among the lush green summer growth.

 

On August nights when the moon is high I walk alone into the woodland to watch the fireflies gather about me. 

I bathe in God’s heavenly beauty that quietly intoxicates my soul. 

 

I am so very small; helpless to protect the things I cherish from the changing times.

​

I am haunted by thoughts of lost meadows and the silent ghost that once was spring.

It's unusual what this site is "ABOUT".   I know it's not about selling or profit of any kind since most is not for sale. I think it's more about giving or perhaps just sharing.  Most of the pieces you see here have been sold or given to someone I love. 

I photographed each painting as I sold them or placed them in a show or gallery so I have copies of most of them.

I had goals of receiving a best in show awards, receiving purchase awards and having two hundred pieces of art work out in the world somewhere. One day several years ago I decided to count. I had gratefully reached the first two goals and wondered if I had hit the two hundred paintings out in the world mark. When I counted past two hundred and fifty I quit counting. I don't count anymore but I still paint. 

All of that might seem impressive before I tell you that I will soon be 87 years old.  I have had a lot of years to reach three little goals.  I hope you will enjoy the artwork and their stories. I have had great fun in finding a way to share them with you.
