Oil Painting
4.25×4.25″ bevel-edge panel
I saw my first magpie in Montana this past Spring. Eye-catching black and white magpies (with a touch of deep blue) were easily spotted amidst all that scenic greenery.
Sorry, this one’s not for sale - please ask about others.

Silverpoint Drawing
5×7″ lavender-gray prepared paper
To work in silverpoint is to meditate. It takes patience, and layers and layers of lines. I enjoy unwinding with this Renaissance-era drawing medium which is simply a silver wire inserted in a holder that is drawn across a slightly abrasive surface, leaving lines of silver.
The egg shaped stone with its oval bands matched the contour of the egg. I started in on the drawing, relating the two forms and forgetting about all else… I used white charcoal to highlight the finished drawing.
Please email me if you are interested in this silverpoint.
