"Ancient Shadows" is my Mother's Squash Blossom necklace that she left for me after she died. I think it is quite old but don't know much about that sort of thing. This piece was juried into a show in Sedona.
"Dakota Morning" is one of my old Rugosa roses that I love so much. It catches sunlight on it's leaves and it seems to dance some mornings with light! It now stands about 6 feet high which is so amazing when we can have winters with -40F temps. It was called Rugosa Morning but somehow Dakota seems to fit it better. That is where I was born and the wild roses are so beautiful.
"Monarch Mystery" is a large piece measuring about 21"x29" and is a watercolor also. This is the butterfly that was mentioned in the American Artist Magazine, 2003 January issue. He was in his final stages of life and I fed him for 5 days and was able to pose him for many photographs. I think he knew me as he would get very excited when I would pick him up...I think he knew I was the source of food just like any pet does. The large black dot at the base of each wing identifies him as a male. The original is owned by Merit Care Hospital in Bemidji, MN.
The snowman is a German ornament I own and I could not resist trying to capture all his pearlized colors. This is now available as an 8 x 10 print and in cards. It is entitled "Snowman Wishes" . I can have cards printed if you would like some for Christmas.
"Surf's Up" is of a dog named Tsunami who lives in Manzanita, Oregon. He is part wolf and had the largest tail I had ever seen! He was so regal under this surfboard and was guarding his masters belongings outside the bakery one morning!
