At Sea

At the beach house we have these little birds flittering about.   Eventually I decided to make an oil painting of one of them.

Autumn Cabin

An encaustic piece I worked on back when the seasons were changing.   The leaves always are such gorgeous colors during autumn.

Feeling blue isn't always a bad thing.  Painted with oils and referenced from http://klein.com/dvk/photos/ .

Storm Chaser II

Through the Internet, I made friends with several professional storm chasers that allowed me to use their photos. One of the guys I met is a complete adrenaline junkie, he cage dives with sharks, is the only person who's been inside a live volcano.  He actually got married in a volcano and has a show called Angry Planet.  He was most definitely an interesting guy.

Cherry Blossoms

While on the cherry blossom kick, I thought I would make another one.  Encaustic mixed media.

The lovely trait about white flowers is that they pick up all sorts of reflective colors so well.
