"Evidence Of Angels"  was created intuitively. I began by just dipping my brush in the first color I was attracted to and then continuing in this manner. At one point I felt the painting was completed, put it aside for a little bit, and took a break. When I came back, it looked like it needed something else. I painted the angels in a kind of exploratory way-not quite sure how they would turn out. I liked what I'd done and deemed it finished. It's always a new adventure when I paint in this manner as opposed to my still life, landscape, and more realistic pieces.

"Cosmic Light" is another creation from my imagination. I began the painting several years ago, but wasn't happy with the finished piece. I put in my storage room and forgot about it.  When I discovered it again, a fresh vision of how to complete it came to mind and here is the final painting which I am very pleased with. It is currently in my living room in  a beautiful 4" wide gold frame and is striking. It lifts my spirit when I look at it. Such is the power of art....

This is a painting I completed some time ago and forgot all about posting it here. This week two people commented on how striking they thought it was which brought my attention back to it.

"Birth Of Angels" is another piece painted spontaneously/intuitively. I put the celestial bodies in on the top right after I thought I'd completed the painting...kept looking at it and felt it needed a little something else to bring it to completion.

This is a meadow I pass almost daily on my drive into the city of Saratoga Springs to pick up my mail, ship paintings out, anticipate interesting synchronistic events, run errands and generally break the pattern of being at home. It's rare that I stay home for a full day.

Another painting 'out of this world.' I particularly like the bottom third. As I was posting this piece just now, the computer screen cut off the top two thirds, just above the moon, and I thought, "What a great painting this would make."

I love the quotation below. It is from the 91st Psalm which is one of the most powerful prayers in the bible.  I find great comfort in it.....

Hope this painting lifts you 'out of this world' and into the realm of angels. I often wonder what most people see when they close their eyes and 'look' inside their own heads. Try it... When I close my eyes, I see the universe...always have....I am among the stars and heavenly bodies....really. It's probably why these celestial paintings are the most natural for me to create. What do you see? I'd be very interested in knowing.... I think I'll post this on my Facebook Page too....I'm curious...

Incidentally, the quotation below always brings me to tears and a profound inner response....a longing...a sadness...hard to describe...

Today's Quotation: "I live my life in widening circles that reach out across the world. I may not ever complete the last one, but I give myself to it. I circle around God, around the primordial tower. I have been circling for thousands of years, and I still don't know: am I a falcon, a storm, or a great song?"
-Ranier Maria Rilke

"Moonrise" is another painting created intuitively from my imagination. There's a subtle white form between the two cliffs that looks like an angel. This was not deliberate...it just happened...

Here is another painting that flowed (almost) effortlessly from brush to canvas...intuitively and spontaneously from my ever fertile imagination....

I consider this painting in the category of 'healing art.' It lifts and calms my spirit when I view it. I've painted this theme many times...and most of them have been adopted by very happy collectors.  When I need to relax or move away from paintings that require more analytical effort such as horses or still lifes, or more structured landscapes,  I usually turn to this garden theme, or celestial paintings.

This was another challenging painting. I painted it a while ago while I was still under the guidance of my teacher. The lotus flower was painted in last, after I decided it would enhance the painting. My teacher suggested I leave the flower out....what do you think? One of my favorite parts of this painting is the light coming through the larger upturned lily pad near the center of the painting. It is hard to see the light coming through in this photo but it glows and I love it....

 This was quite a difficult painting to create but I am very pleased with the outcome. It is not a new piece. I painted it a while back. The colors I used are considered 'Healing' colors. Green is considered to be the primary color that corresponds to healing, prosperity, balance and well being. White is a color that is considered spiritual and blue is also a spiritual color and very calming. Pay attention....what do you experience when you view it...?

This is my final contribution for Valentines Day. At the moment, I am listening to John Lee Hooker singing "I'm Bad Like Jessie James"....a sheer coincidence that this song came on as I was posting "Bad Boy Garfield." What a riot! John Lee sounds really, really bad...badder than Garfield...

Thought I'd give you a smile with this painting but I am the one laughing right now...love these synchronistic events....

Wouldn't this make a great surprise Valentines Day gift? Everyone who's seen it has broken into a huge smile.....

Garfield was one of my late mother's favorite cartoon characters. She also loved owls and had a small collection of owl knick knacks and Garfield toys. I keep one of her small stuffed Garfields on the dashboard in my car. This particular Garfield is a small wind-up toy that rocks back and forth when you wind him up. Hope this bring a smile...

This  painting was a joy to paint! It lifts my mood and energizes me when I look at it. I chose one of my favorite fabrics as the backdrop and painted it on 1 1/2 thick gallery wrapped stretched canvas. It is painted around all sides, wired and ready to hang just as it is. No need for a frame unless you choose to frame it.

If I hadn't painted this, I would love to receive it as a Valentine's Day gift for the sole reason that it would be a total surprise and I probably wouldn't have ever guessed what my gift would have been.

I was in a lighthearted mood a while back when I created this painting. The inspiration for the fish came from a piece of fabric and the turtle is from my imagination. The hearts were an afterthought when I felt the painting needed more..,
