Zion's National Park (16X20 oil on canvas). This was a commissioned piece done for a dear friend of mine. It is her and her husband seen on the trail. They love to hike together.
Monarch Butterfly (4X6 acrylic on masonite board). I painted this last summer while I was in Island Park, ID with my husband's family on vacation. Gave it to my mother-in-law. I tried to capture the luminous, vibrant quality of butterfly wings. This painting was inspired by the Hallmark gift book, The Butterfly Effect: How Your Life Matters," by Andy Andrew, which states that even very small acts have large consequences. ![The Butterfly Effect: How Your Life Matters -

"Emily's Poppies" (5X7 acrylic on board) This painting was done for my sister for her wedding in June. I found an image that I loved on the internet and painted my own version of it for her. She LOVES poppies. Congrats, Em! God bless you in your new life with Lars!
