who is the painting artist?
I am a country girl, born in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California.
My normal pass-time was walking in the woods enjoying all the beauty in nature.
My favorite things to paint are birds, butterflies and flowers. I enjoy them while I am gardening.
I plant flowers for the butterflies and feed the birds. Then there are more critters to photograph and paint.
Painting buildings and people is not my forte. I have done a few, but I prefer painting nature.
Brown Pelicans were one of my subjects when I lived in Florida for more than thirty years.
