Abstract Desert Landscape Painting - Cloud Gazing

Cloud Gazing
acrylic on canvas, 24x48 inches

This piece was originally painted as a commission for a lovely couple I met.  Upon completion of the piece, not only did they love it, but wanted me to paint it again for them, only much much larger.  I was absolutely thrilled at the opportunity and painted on the largest canvas I have ever painted on.  Their finished piece was 36x60 inches!

This paintings has now sold.  To see available paintings,

Abstract Seascape Painting - What the Sea Remembers


What the Sea Remembers
24x36 inches, acrylic on canvas



I must admit, I love weather patterns, how they change the mood of a day, travel plans, the landscape around us.  If I could go back to school I'd probably take meteorology, just to study weather all day. 

It's hard to know when to stop painting when I work on something like this abstract seasacape.  I become so emersed in the possibilities of the changing weather pattern that I want to keep going and going, like storm watching from the back porch in summer.

Large Abstract Painting - North Atlantic Crossing


North Atlantic Crossing
24x24 inches, acrylic on canvas

I think this large abstract painting of the North Atlantic was inspired inadvertently by all the talk in the news right now about the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic.  I really set out to do a painting in firey orange and robins egg blue.  But I find with abstracts, they are never done until they are done, meaning - one must work at it until satisfaction is achieved.  And today, well, the orange and blue just didn't cut it.  My mind kept returning to this dark base of slate blue and green.  And as that progressed, so did the sky, into icy blues and greens.  Go figure...  And so it is named:  North Atlantic Crossing.
