Lavender & Stoneware

This stoneware pot was one of the first ones I ever made. I love its charm and simplicity. The lavender was from my garden. It grew beautifully for about 2 years and then I lost it. I cut and dried every stem and placed them in pots all over the house. It looked most beautiful in this little pot so I had to paint it.

Texas Cotton Bolls

I love the look of cotton at harvest time. This is a painting of some cotton bolls that were growing near Rio Medina, Texas.

Street Sweeper

This is of a man who was so busy doing his job that he didn't notice me or my camera. I must have taken at least 15 photos. I plan to do several more of him in various stages of sweeping. The way the light hit him, I could hardly keep my eyes (camera) off of him.
