My Rose




My Rose

"I photographed this lovely rose blooming in my flower bed. This is only one of the color variations it displays as it unfolds. Later it turns almost pink all over. I love it and wanted to preserve it in a painting."

A Warm Sunny Spot-Red Foxes


A warm sunny spot-Red Fox painting
"16x20" Acrylic on Canvas
"I went on my favorite trail, camera in hand, searching for a good setting for my red fox painting. When I saw this fir tree with ivy climbing up the sides I loved it. The background vine maples with trailing moss were found elsewhere on the trail. Altogether it makes for a cozy warm spot for them to take a rest." -DB
