Oil Paintings
Watercolor PaintingsMy paintings, the originals for sale are usually nature related. It is my joy to paint the beauty and wonder of the awesome gifts of God.
Originally I learned how to paint with oils. One year my sister gave me a calendar of watercolor paintings. It intrigued me and I decided to give watercolors a try.
Now I enjoy painting both oil and watercolors. There is a rich classic beauty in oil paintings and a freedom with watercolors.

Original oil paintings
My beautiful oil paintings are on stretched archival canvas. I use high quality pigments bound with alkyd resin.
Alkyd paintings are referred to as oil paintings. They are extremely durable and they look exactly like oil paintings.
I have been painting with alkyd paints for around thirty years. I am very pleased with this media.
original watercolor paintings
Most of my watercolor paintings are on Aquabord. (This is the correct spelling.) It is a hardboard with an archival Kaolin clay applied to the hardboard.
When the painting is dry, I apply several coats of a protective UV spray. Then the painting should be framed without glass.
Watercolor paintings on watercolor paper need to be matted and framed under glass.

Carol,
"I am the proud owner of one of your paintings. It's my favorite painting
of all the art I own and have to say it's hard not to stare and get
lost in it. Your work is amazing and I applaud your abilities. Thank you
for bringing both myself and my walls such
enjoyment."
