watercolor 11x14While diving in Yap, I came across this blue starfish clinging to the reef. The cobalt blue color of these starfish is so vivid it almost doesn't seem real. I never tire of seeing these.

A Gentle Giant (Manta Ray)
watercolor on paper 11x142011
(photo of me hanging onto the reef)
I saw this manta ray while scuba diving in Yap during spring of 2011. He was visiting the cleaning station where I was lingering. He was one of several that I saw that day. We were up close and personal in only 20 feet of water. This gentle giant had a ten foot wing span and was ever so graceful. They put on quite a show for us. What a treat!

Yellow Hibiscus flowers can be seen all around Guam. Instead of using one of my own references, this flower was painted using a photo reference borrowed from my dear friend. Thanks Sandy!

I am proud to say this "Red Hibiscus" painting was auctioned at the pray for Japan fundraiser. I received a nice message from the buyer telling me how much she loves it. I was so glad to hear from her as I didn't know who bought it. I am happy 100% of the money went toward a great cause. Thanks!5/15/11
SOLD
This turtle "under the sea" painting has found a new home to a buyer in Texas. This painting was a lot of fun to paint. I hope to paint more sea turtles from the many underwater photos I have taken during this past year.

Talafofo Falls
soft pastel on paper, 11x142011
This waterfall is one of the many beautiful waterfalls found on Guam. There is a trolley car on a zip line to take you there. It also has two suspension bridges to cross as you tour the falls. This painting shows my husband, son and daughter admiring the falls.

Two Lovers Sunset
watercolor 11x142011
This painting shows another view of Guam's famous Two Lovers Point, at sunset. The outrigger canoe club can commonly be seen during this time of day, practicing for races. This painting was another commissioned piece done for Dan Bellomo, courtesy his photo. I hope these paintings serve as great momentos of his time served on Guam. I wish him well with his next tour of duty.
Thanks Dan!
