Sycamore in Moonlight is a 10" x 20" acrylic painting on gallery wrap canvas. We have many sycamores in the Deep South, and I am forever intrigued by the way the whiteness of the trunk and limbs look in different conditions. This painting is available for $360. Posted by Hello

Tree, Avery Island is a 11" x 14" acrylic painting on gallery wrap canvas. It portrays a beautiful tree that I saw on Avery Island, Louisiana. Avery Island, located just a few miles from New Iberia, is home to the plant which makes Tabasco Hot Sauce, and even better, a huge beautifully kept park. Decades ago, the family that owns the island established a nesting refuge for the endangered snowy egret. Every spring, thousands of the birds congregate on the island to raise their young. It is an incredible sight. It is available for $300 plus shipping. Posted by Hello

"Fairhope Marina" is a 9" x 12" acrylic painting on gallery wrap canvas. I painted this marina in Fairhope, Alabama just weeks before Hurricane Ivan rolled through in the fall of 2004. The marina was hit very hard, and no longer resembles the painting. I'm glad that I was there before its destruction. It is available for $260 plus shipping. PAINTING SOLD. Posted by Hello

"Spring on Sandy Bayou" is a 24" x 8" acrylic painting on gallery wrap canvas. This is a bayou near my home, and on this spring day the normally "black water" of the bayou was reflecting the intense blue of the sky. Coastal Mississippi is incredibly beautiful in the spring, and I was able to capture that beauty in this painting. It is available for $430 plus shipping. Posted by Hello

Tiger Lilies is a 9" x 12" acrylic painting on board. I painted this when I was living in a small, mom-and-pop motel in Aberdeen, South Dakota. It was early spring in the Northern Plains, and I went out one day in the wind and sleet and found a pot of blooming lilies at the nursery. I set them up in the room, and did several different paintings before the flowers wilted. I am especially attracted to tiger lilies because they seem so strong and vibrant, just bursting with color and energy. It is available for $260 plus shipping. Posted by Hello
