36″ x 36″ textured mixed media on 1.5″ gallery wrap canvas with the painting continuing around the edges
With such depressing news these days, I felt compelled to paint something that would make us feel much better. And, it worked on me, so I hope it does the same for you. I felt so much happier after painting this larger than life bluebonnet and Indian Paintbrush scene. Working with palette knife and a lot of texture, reveling in the process of flinging and pouring paint to create a joyful, kinetic kaleidoscope, and playing with a cheerful palette of reds, yellows and blues, I feel like this one really lifts one’s spirits and has a touch of whimsy to it.

30″ x 30″ textured mixed media painting on 1.5″ gallery wrap canvas with the scene continuing around the edges
Painted layer upon layer, dreamy light shines through the underlying tangle of colors creating a mysterious aura of peace and hope. Glimpses of bluebonnets peek through the fiery cascade signaling the joy of springtime and bountiful blooms that lift your spirit. Bursting with texture and energy, may “Cobalt Cascade” elicit joy, serenity and promises of the day to come.

SOLD • 20″ x 30″ textured mixed media painting on canvas
Just Sold! Painting these sunflowers full-sized helps to bring them to life and hopefully transport you to this happy location! Including surprising pops of vivid reds and purples and turquoises keep your eye moving throughout the scene, seeing new things each time you look at it, and adds to the joyful feeling.
“For me, wildflowers are joy-giving. They have enriched my life and fed my soul and given beautiful memories to sustain me.”
– Lady Bird Johnson
Just Sold! Surrounded by a sea of blue – Scott captured me in my element here! Not only were the bluebonnets and wildflowers magnificent this year, but I just adore the live oaks, too. Their massive stature, their gnarly, twisting branches and the umbrella of shade they cast, just make me want to paint them over and over again. Leaving bluebonnets large and prominent in the foreground, rows and rows of cobalt lift your spirits and lead you back to the shelter of the grand old oak. I hope you, too, can enjoy the beauty of Texas in all of its spring glory.

“I feel a great regard for trees; they represent age and beauty and the miracles of life and growth.”
? Louise Dickinson Rich
Surrounded by a sea of crimson, not only were the wildflowers magnificent this year, but I just adore old, giant trees, too. Their massive stature and their outstretched branches creating a beautiful canopy and much needed umbrella of shade, just make me want to paint them over and over again. Leaving poppies large and prominent in the foreground, rows and rows of ruby jewel-toned blooms lift your spirits and lead you back to the shelter of the grandfather tree. I hope you, too, can enjoy the beauty of this uplifting place in all of its spring glory.
