Memorial Gift for Judy the Elephant

 

I was saddened to learn after painting this watercolor of Judy and Bozie, Judy the elephant died.  See link for full article http://www.brzoo.org/index.cfm?md=newsroom&tmp=detail&articleID=601

 

As a memorial gift, I presented a framed print of my "Two Elephants" painting to the Baton Rouge Zoo.

The original painting is still available and can be viewed at Joie Petite Designs, 4257 Church Street in Zachary, LA

On the Boardwalk

acrylic 16x20

I captured this image of my kids as they walked along a boardwalk on the island of Kosrae.  We went there during Christmas break in 2011, while living on Guam.  This rustic resort had boardwalks and sandy trails that connected the huts.

Sun Kissed

watercolor 11x14

I have been wanting to try my hand at painting clear glass.  I set up this still life outside on my patio on a sunny day.  I wanted to see strong shadows.  I thought the oranges added a nice splash of color in the sunlight.
