The Owl’s Flight Chronicles
My Chronicles…the stories that danced with me through the creative process
…the thoughts that linger behind the images
Spiderweb
I have been enchanted by spider webs as long as I can remember. I loved finding them in the early morning with drops of dew glistening along the strands. The perfect symmetry and spiral shapes are almost hypnotic. Imagine the work that goes into each delicate...
Sisters II
My daughter, Olivia, and her high school best friend, Rachel did a duet of the classic song "Sisters" for a concert. We had a great time finding them matching dresses and shoes for the big event. This painting is based on a photo taken at one of the rehearsals...a...
Escape
We have all had those days when you just wish you could find that hidden door that will whisk you off to some enchanted land and away from everyday cares. This painting is the result of one of those days...I created my own escape into a different place. 12" x 12"...
The Dance
I love my two sisters! The three of us form a group that takes on the dance of life with lots of laughter, advice, tears & hugs. (We privately call this dance "The Beautiful Madness".) We share each other's adventures though separated by many miles, and I don't know...
Earth Goddess
This young woman with the clear blue eyes, is richly dressed in jewels, celestial symbols, butterflies, flowers and feathers. 8" x 10" acrylic on stretched canvas
Speak Your Truth
There are times when you must speak your mind... tell the truth... even if it is hard and your voice shakes while doing so. This bold woman, (obviously wise & a little bit wild), with her butterfly tattoo across her throat, always tells it like it is. Perhaps we...
Dolphin Dance
My fanciful rendition of dolphins riding the waves with their typical exuberance and seeming zest for life. 11" x 14" acrylic on stretched canvas
Flying Her Colors
When I was a child I used to imagine that butterflies were really tiny people that soared through the sky with their beautiful colored wings. 11" x 14" acrylic on stretched canvas
Emerald Fairy
This fairy with her upswept auburn hair is gorgeously gowned and greeting the sun after a night long celebration. 16" x 20" acrylic on stretched canvas
The Frog
This piece is very loosely based on the fairy tale of the Frog Prince. In that story, when the princess kisses the enchanted frog, he turns back into the handsome prince. My painting shows a frog sitting on the outstretched hand of a stone maiden. Maybe if he can find...
Harvest Queen
The glorious, ever-changing colors of Autumn always leave me astounded. There is no possible way that I can possible capture the feeling of fall, but I attempted it anyway with this painting. The abundance of fruit, flowers and beauty all signify one of my favorite...
The Painted Fan
This woman continues to be mysterious to me, even after the hours I spent creating her! She is very guarded and holds her feelings close...hiding her private thoughts behind her fan. You just know that the ideas and imaginings going on behind her beautiful eyes are...
Hidden Potential
What is it about a bend in the road that makes you want to follow it and discover what is at the end? This hidden, forest trail is full of potential for upcoming possibilities. The adventure is in the journey itself, not just the place of arrival. 16" x 20" acrylic on...
Clarity
One of my favorites. This young woman faces her future bright-eyed and very clear on where she is headed.
Waiting Out the Storm
This pensive, copper haired mermaid is guarding her treasures while waiting for the storm clouds to pass. I am an ardent admirer of mermaids and sea creatures and never seem to tire of painting them. (16" x 20" acrylic on canvas)
