Winter again.

6x6" oil on prepared card stock
This wintery painting was part of my summer 2012 show. She was a bit out of place on Cape Cod in August, but in December she fits right in.

Big Sweetie

oil on Linen   22"x24"   2010

I usually paint on panel, but this one is on stretched linen.
I loved painting this one - It was fun to swap my go-to regular old surface for the linen, and it's larger than I usually paint too (partly how she got her name "big sweetie")  The dark outline around the figure was a last minute choice and I love it.

Angel in a Housecoat

Uncle Arthur

18 x 24" oil on panel on decorative paper.  2010

This painting hangs in my dining room and I can just feel Arthur's wonderful sense of humor radiating out of the painting.  Looks like he's thinking about his next zinger.
