Nature does such a wonderful job displaying her flowers.  Why mess with perfection?  If you are interested in prints or greeting cards of this image, please click HERE.  You will be transported to fine art america.

Yellow Friendship Roses

This was a really fun painting for me to do.  I love dropping the watercolor onto the paper and loosely interpreting the image.  By nature, I am a sketcher, a drawer.  I love seeing the "hand of the artist" and that is why I often go back with pen and ink and define areas.  If you are interested in images of the above, please click HERE.  Thank  you.

Spring is Here to Stay

I remember taking this photograph.   Northern Michigan is known for long winters and this was the first day we all KNEW Spring was here to stay.

Bay View Gardens, MI Bench

No one is sitting here now.  But people come here to watch the sunset over Little Traverse Bay, to reflect upon the memorial gardens that are scattered about.  This bench has been the refuge for many a soul seeking comfort and relaxation.
