The Tree Behind My House

The tree behind my house must be the tree "Jack" used to climb above the clouds and then escape down again, to run from the giant. This tree has survived 3 hurricanes. I watched it sway back and forth, to and fro from my patio during all three hurricanes. I prayed and prayed that it would not fall on our home. Instead, another, that I wasn't watching, did fall on our home. Then during the second hurricane another that I did not watch, fell in the same spot! Then in the third hurricane another fell in the front yard- all the while this tree stood and caused me the most anxiety!
Now that hurricanes are so numerous... I worry and I worry about this tree... I can't cut it down, its behind my fence on public property! See those clouds? That's Hurricane Rita reaching up to Orlando area to say "hi" while she hits the Keys. I cant wait till hurricane season is OVER.

Afternoon Poppies

SOLD
"Afternoon Poppies" Painting is going to live in Sacramento, CA !
I just finished this painting: an acrylic painting with heavy impasto paint. Painted with knife and brush work on a 16" X 20" stretched canvas. The picture is of a poppy field with trees and wheat/grain fields with mountains in the background. There are copper and gold metallic paint highlights in the painting. This painting is more stunning seen in real life- digital photography just does not do it justice! Those of you that know me - know that my favorite color is RED :) This painting has been varnished with acrylic high quality high gloss varnish. Easy to keep clean with just a damp cloth!

Hi everyone! I wanted to show you a work in progress. It is of a light house on the Florida East coast near where I live. The Ponce Inlet Lighthouse is a gorgeous orange red color and my painting is set at sunrise. The painting is acrylic on 20"x16" stretched gallery wrap canvas- painted on all sides so you don't have to frame it if you don't want to! I hope you like it- It will be on eBay for auction soon with part of the proceeds going to Hurricane Katrina Charity.
