Oil Painting of Nasturtiums Sold to Nick Stah lto celebrate his Wedding Anniversary, Summer of 2020.
Nasturiums grow wild in warm climates and are an annual here in New England. I love their climbing vines, and edible flowers. Mostly, I love that they remind me of the joy my grandmother shared with me growing them everywhere!

Try new things: Abstract Contemporary Paintings - why not?
These two paintings are oil on canvas. They were created without an initial plan or subject to look at. I encourage my students to also just create from their hearts. Both of these paintings were also used to create fabric designs. Some of the repeat patterns, made frrom pulling colors from the paintings are below:
BIRDS and the BEES - Abstract Oil on Canvas in the Collection of Kristina Farrell, Mississipi.
CABBAGES AND KING - Oil on Canvas 24" x 24"
The abstract paintings above are a fun launch pad to make other products. BIRDS and the BEES patterns now available as fabric, wallpaper and home goods through Spoonflower.com:
