Travels with Charlie
(Click on the thumbnail for a larger image)
 This
is a very special piece to me personally. Charlie was my father and many of the
pieces in the painting were objects he brought back from WWII. He never talked
much about the war and as a child I was never really fond of his treasures. Only
after he died did I learn the story about the plate in the painting. The piece
was done in a small town in Holland. It is a commemorative piece for the 50th
birthday of Queen Whilimina. The townsfolk hid the pieces from the Nazi's
because they feared their handiwork would be destroyed. When the war was over,
my father's troop came through the village. The people were hungry and the
soldiers shared their food and water with the villagers. To show their
appreciation, the people in the town dug up the pieces they hid and gave them to
the soldiers as their way of expressing thanks. Now I really understand why it
meant so much to my father. Charlie (or Mac as we
called him) always encouraged me in my artistic
pursuits and would have been proud of this piece that bears his name.
Tea with Anna
(Click on the thumbnail for a larger image)
 The
tea set was a gift from my husband's grandmother Anna. When we would visit her,
Anna and I would sit in the kitchen and have a cup of tea. We could spend hours
talking. I really enjoyed when she shared about growing up in New York, how she
met her husband Sam, and many other stories of her life. As she got older and we
moved further away, those times together got fewer and fewer. She died recently,
but every time I see the tea set, the memory of having tea in her kitchen is
fresh and comforting.
The Check's in the Mail
(Click on the thumbnail for a larger image)
 On
my drive home from work there used to be a store that sold Mexican pottery and
painted furniture. Their mailbox was in the process of being swallowed up by
this cactus plant. It was one of those things I just had to paint. I wonder what
they thought when they saw me photographing their mailbox! Waiting for a check
that is "in the mail" can be like having to reach into a mailbox surrounded by
cactus needles.... a very sticky situation.
The Escort Shuttle
(Click on the thumbnail for a larger image)
 The
Escort portrays the first night landing of a space shuttle at the Kennedy Space
Center in Florida. This painting was part of the 41st Anniversary Of The Kennedy
Space Center Show held at the Main Gallery at the Visitor Complex at the Space
Center. Living so close to the Center allows me to walk outside to my back yard
and watch the launches. (Painting: 14.5" x 22")
Tomatoes
(Click on the thumbnail for a larger image)
 On
a trip to the Farmer's Market in Winter Park, FL these tomatoes caught my eye.
What attracted me was the contrast of the colors. The tomatoes are a bright red
orange complimented by the green blue cardboard
container. Growing up in South Jersey, tomatoes were an integral part of the
economy. We had two major ketchup makers in the town and during the summer the
tomato truck would roll in from the fields. The whole downtown area would be
blanketed with the aroma of tomato sauce.
Old Friends
(Click on the thumbnail for a larger image)
Old
Friends was done as part of the first Watercolours of Olde Brevard
shows presented by the Brevard Watercolor Society.
The scene is the original Melbourne, Florida library. The people in the
photo are unknown. This painting was the first time I attempted to do a
poured background. The paper is wet and paint is literally poured onto the
paper. Tilting the paper causes the colors to blend. The image is then
painted using the colors already on the paper. (Painting:
14.5" x 22")
Aquarium Dreams
(Click on the thumbnail for a larger image)
 Tropical
fish are a fascinating subject. I am always amazed at the colors and shapes they
come in. This painting is the result of a request from one of my students who
wanted a fish theme painting for their home.
Bad News Travels Fast
(Click on the thumbnail for a larger image)
Bad news always seems to
travel faster than good news. The viewer is left to decide whether one of
the three characters in the paintings received bad news or is one of them
the "bad news". The painting was originally going to be titled "Standing in
the Shadows of Love" an old Motown song sung by the Four Tops. The painting
is of a place in Universal Studios, Florida. If you visit the movie side of
the park, see if you can spot the location. Happy hunting.
