Early Morning Rain Shower


Early Morning Rain Shower
8x10 Oil on Canvas
$165


On this particular Autumn day I was trying to figure out what to paint. A dilemma. I happened to turn and look out my studio window and noticed a rainbow just to the west of us. A short lived rain squall but definitely a photo op which resulted in this painting.

Apple Blossom Time



Apple Blossom Time
12x16 Oil on Canvas
$350



After a long winter, I can't wait for the old apple tree near where we live to blossom. Even though it is not cared for other than by Mother nature, it always puts on a spectacular floral display. I manage to bring home a branch to paint as a result of last years bloom this painting came to be.

Good morning,

After several days of cold and blustery weather the sun has finally decided to show itself. Our furnace was on the fritz for 10 days and consequently, i didn't get much painting done. The studio was a bit chilly. Now that the sun is out and my mood has lifted I hope to get at it again today. The grass is finally turning green! Hooray!

:) Marcie

Aspen Walk


"Aspen Walk"
18x24 Oil on Canvas
$475 Unframed


I love walking through aspen groves in the fall. The rustling of the leaves as they move with the changing breeze brings calmness to a rushed world. Sit with me a moment and watch and listen. The color changes so rapidly that you can almost hear it.

During the spring and summer months we have a Farmers Market nearby that I love to frequent, not only for the great fruits and veggies but also the flowers that I don't have in my garden.

Toward the end of summer it's time for the harvest season. Near my home is a hay field which had just been cut for drying prior to baling. The patterns of the windrows reminded me of waves stretching toward the horizon. A painting was born!

Hello Spring!

A new painting has just been added after a two week delay while putting finishing touches on several larger pieces. I'm getting ready for a couple of upcoming shows here at Crossroads Carnegie Art Center in April and May. The May show should be fun as it will feature "Mothers and Daughters". My daughter is also an artist and will be showing her work along with mine. The April show features Gifts from the Garden and is our yearly Regional Show. The first week in June will be the Wallowa Valley Festival which is held at Enterprise, OR. Such a beautiful setting and a pleasure to participate in this prestigious show. Please plan on attending any or all of these venues. Now back to the easel for me!

Powder River - Late Winter


Powder River - Late Winter
8x10 Oil on Canvas

Price: $165

SOLD

Even though Spring has just begun it wasn't but a few short weeks ago that our ground was covered with snow, the river frozen over and the air crisp and cold. The painting features my favorite willow tree that has probably seen many seasons as it sits overlooking the river as it courses through the valley. This particular day it was overcast with just a hint of sunlight breaking through. Now we await the first crocus!
