"Hallelujah! Hibiscus"

In my garden, the summer heat brings on brightly colored perennials like this hearty hibiscus.  It gets pruned down to the ground after the first frost in the fall and then in the spring comes back up again with new growth and attention getting color during the summer months.

"Roan Highlands"

It seems like one can see forever from the top of Jane Bald in the Roan Highlands.  It's spring in this painting with rhododendrons and wild azaleas blooming.

"Late May Garden"

An abundance of rose campion and butterfly weed in my garden late in the month of May inspired me to create this very impressionist interpretation.  All painted with a palette knife.

"Creekside Herbage"

It's always a treat to see the new plants that have emerged along the creek banks.  Areas that were bare of any growth during the winter months are now green and lush with many types of foliage. (Painted with a palette knife.)
