Artist's Statement about this work: Hot Cocoa Floribunda---one of my favorite roses, long pointed buds that open up into deep rusty, ruffled, orange reds. It was given to me by my daughter last year for Mother's Day---and it was showing off in my garden, smelling like sweet cinnamon rose---and demanding to be painted. So I did.

Artist's Statement about this work: Bees are one of the most interesting creatures. I have several beehives in my yard and I love to watch them. They go from flower to flower finding the necessary things to make honey and feed young. I wanted to capture that fleeting moment when this girl visited this one particular flower and pause that moment, to appreciate the relationship.

Artist's Statement about this work: Spring is always ushered in with the small crocus flowers. Sunshine, rain and even snow, these little flowers are the first to pop up in my yard. I love the simplicity of them as well as the oversized petals. I wanted to show the contrast of this beautiful white flower amongst the leaf litter left from last fall.

Artist's Statement about this work: Sagebrush tells me that I am home, in the west...where I grew up. Sage may seem prickly and common to some, but that clean, rich scent, those luscious pale green leaves, sturdy dark branches, and ever-present golden grass neighbors seem always to welcome me home.

Artist's Statement about this work: On Nantucket Island, in the village of Siasconset, all of the original fisherman's cottages from the late 1700's are adorned with roses. Come summertime, the entire village is ablaze in pink hues. When I saw these women pausing on their way to the village market to have a conversation over the roses, I. knew it had to be a painting. It was truly a "rose colored afternoon".

Artist's Statement about this work: Trees in bloom outside of my dining room window always announce the arrival of spring. On this day, a finch accompanied the blossoms. It provided a beautiful and musical announcement, and was so welcome after the winter months. The finch seemed to promise that the spring blossoms about to burst held the promise of upcoming summer fun. I felt compelled to paint my visitor on the blossoming branch in order to remember the feelings of optimism that he brought.
