While painting, it is easy to dream of standing in a field of fragrant lavender in Provence.

I would like to visit there someday, but in the meantime I am content to search out the lavender fields in the Columbia Gorge and Willamette Valley. I hope that you will enjoy my interpretation.

Although I seem to love all flowers, I have a special affection for the trillium. It has been my favorite wild flower for thirty five years.

I have cultivated a grove among the ferns next to the house. When I see the first glimpse of white in early April I know that I have truly survived our long, grey winter.

I can't even begin to count how many old barns I have explored and played in since I was six years old. I still get that sense of excitement and mystery when I look in a barn door or window. Old wood barns are rapidly disappearing from the landscape and I feel a sense of urgency to record the ones I come across before they too are gone.

I have always been intrigued by the random and almost whimsical way that a rancher will place a board here or an odd little window or door there for no apparent reason.

Someone gave up painting this barn a long time ago which has added to its character.

I was thrilled to find a vineyard whose leaves had turned a bright, golden yellow. With a warm evening sky, and rich autumn colors, this little painting radiates warmth and calmness.

This could be Tuscany just as well as the Willamette Valley wine country.
