Title or Location: The temptation
Decided to try my hand at oil painting. Enrolled in Pam Phillips oil painting class here in Bear Valley Springs. She paints like the old masters. Amazing control and completely realistic still life. When i got to this stage she cane and made some suggestions and in my naivety I told her that I liked it like it was and felt it was finished. It was my first painting. A little over a year ago. Now I am obsessed with oil painting. I Love it.

Title or Location: Looking At the Face of God
I?ve always loved the story of the nativity. As a mother I remember looking at my newborns and musing that they just left heaven and God?s presence. I often wonder what Mary thought. Did she have similar musings? Did she look at her son and consider she was looking at the face of God? I wanted to paint something reflecting those ideas.

Title or Location: ?The Gate of dreams?
This painting was inspired by storybook cottages and the play of light at dusk. This painting was created with layered glazes to enhance the glow, giving it a luminous quality that changes subtly when viewing. It reflects my ongoing exploration of light as both subject and symbol.

Title or Location: Busy Bee
My first colored pencil drawing from the Bonny Snowdon Academy. I just started using colored pencils 6 months ago and this little fella caught my eye. I love the challenge of the different techniques colored pencils require on different surfaces. Pastelmat, Polychromos, and photo credit from Pexels.

Title or Location: ?Cracked?
This is the first in a series of symbolic pieces, expressing how life feels to me at the moment I paint.

This 10x10? oil on gallery wrapped canvas is accepted into the Yosemite Sierra Artists 55th Anniversary show, opening June 12, at Gallery 5 in Oakhurst.
