Shoreline Sanctuary

Shoreline Sanctuary 7" x 5" acrylic 

SOLD
This intimate painting captures the serene beauty of Canada Geese resting amidst dry grasses along a tranquil shoreline while showcasing the soft golden hues against the geese’s graceful forms. Known for their strong family bonds, Canada Geese often mate for life and travel in cohesive family groups, a behavior that symbolizes loyalty and connection. I was inspired by this peaceful scene while walking along the Deschutes River, where Western Canada geese are common.

Robin's Rest

Robin's Rest  5" x 7"  acrylic  $295

This intimate painting captures a quiet moment I’ve always loved—watching a robin or any bird perched temporarily on a branch, in this case a juniper branch. The soft glow of its rust-orange breast against the green needles offers a nice color balance. 

Did you know? Robins are symbols of hope and renewal, but they’re also surprisingly feisty when it comes to defending their territory—especially during nesting season!

Quiet Currents - Hooded Merganser

Quiet Currents - Hooded Merganser 6" x 6" acrylic $295

This  painting features a drake hooded merganser gliding serenely across glassy water. The scene captures the tranquil beauty of nature, with vivid green reeds reflected in the mirrored surface, enhancing the sense of calm and harmony. The drake’s striking plumage and distinctive crest stand out against the soft, natural hues. In the winter, hooded mergansers can be found in calm, shallow waters such as ponds, lakes, and slow-moving rivers, where they forage for fish, crustaceans, and aquatic insects. They are skilled divers, using their sharp eyesight to hunt underwater and often remain in small groups or as solitary individuals.

Fading Light - Muley

Fading Light - Muley  9" x 12"  acrylic  $1100

This painting portrays the quiet drama of approaching dusk in the high desert, where a lone buck stands alertly amidst the soft tones of sagebrush. The low light of evening helps to camouflage the mule deer buck, making him a subtle yet commanding presence.

The interplay of shadow and illumination creates a moody, atmospheric scene, drawing the viewer’s eye to the storm before revealing the buck’s watchful silhouette. The painting captures a fleeting, introspective moment, where the vastness of nature and the quiet resilience of the muley coexist in perfect harmony.
