About me
Sunrises!
Sunrises are on everybody's phone in Arizona. I am a plein air artist. This is an original oil painting of a sunrise painted in my backyard in Scottsdale. Sunrises come alive because I'm there.

original work
Watercolor never ceases to amaze me with its depth. I find the quality, from opaque to translucent, very painterly. The Oxford dictionary definition of painterly is, "characterized by qualities of color, stroke and texture rather than of line."
