		<title>Rugged Charm 36X36 Oil</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I strive for a composition that works,  balance of color, movement, edges, and value relationships. Editing is one of the more difficult qualities of an artist craft. It is far more challenging to know what to leave out than to paint it all. Singer Sargent was a master at editing. Next time you enjoy his [...]]]></description>

		<title>Erica&#8217;s Boots</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently enjoyed a trip to Colorado with my dear friend Beth, a childhood &#8220;forever&#8221; friend.  A snowy cold adventure including  skiing cowboys, yummy eats, and art. The boots I have painted belong to an Artist friend Erica Van Wyk  http://www.ericavanwyk.com/index.html.  When you walk into Erica and Mark&#8217;s lovely home it is hard to decide [...]]]></description>

		<title>Orange Peel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160; I love painting one main center of interest. The surrounding foreground and background were painted with fewer details, less intense colors, and soft edges. The primary subject, &#8220;Orange Peel&#8221; is the story. A fun name for a happy subject, a bicycle on the beach. Where the orange stops the rust takes over. The Subject [...]]]></description>

		<title>Drifter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A figure or an inanimate object like a boat or a bike I am drawn to the rhythm and harmony of the composition. I wanted this boat to say &#8220;Hello look at me&#8221; Similar shapes and colors repeat to unify the composition. The texture of smooth water contrasts with the strong value and lines in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Arizona Heritage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160; A ranch in Arizona commissioned this painting. The boots were hand painted years ago. The composition was chosen as if the couple were standing next to each other holding hands. That small intimate expression of your toes touching, reserved only for your mate. A gesture of love. I painted the patterns and bright color [...]]]></description>

		<title>Day Dream</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160; A day dream. You can do anything, go anywhere&#8230; It has been a while since I have painted a figurative study and this painting was a joy. One of those rare days the brush seem to dance and I followed. A lose figurative painted in a classical style, alla prima. This painting exhibits a wide variety of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Beach Memory</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I grew up in Clearwater Florida. The view from the boardwalk to the water was long, the sand white, and as a girl I remember my sisters and I tossing our sandals and feeling the hot sand under our feet. I could not wait to get to the water&#8217;s edge. To me the most dramatic [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sea Captain</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A bird on a boat serenely floats at the end of it&#8217;s tether. To give the water interest I have let each layer of glaze drip slightly and then lay the canvas flat to dry for several days. This pattern is repeated over many weeks. The high contrast reflection is a focal point, as a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Spokes Whisper</title>
		<description><![CDATA[36X36 Oil Every minute of the day the sky is an ever changing gift. The sun is masked in the early morning light and comes from the whole sky, more or less straight down. Layers of glazing, sketching and reworking this painting took longer than most. It has been on and off my easel over [...]]]></description>
