Not being a cold weather person, for years I searched for a winter sport to help me through those cold, short days.

Skiing, hiking and other activities didn't do it for me. I was more the coffee, a blanket and a good book kind of person.

Now I happily paint and create my art all winter using my summer garden as a model. This is my true winter sport, spending all season in my studio surrounded by my gardens.

White DaffodilDaffodil TrioYellow Daffodil

I know the winter has been mild so far but that doesn't stop me from looking forward to spring. These daffodils I created are just a way of reminding me of the exciting season ahead of us.

Grape Muscari Grape Hyacinth

This Grape Muscari piece is a wonderful example of how I combine all my skills of gardening, digital image capture, graphic design and virtual painting.

Tulips on Purple
Tulips on Purple

These tulips are derived from a photograph I took when visiting Old Westbury Gardens in Long Island in the spring. They were so cheerful bobbing in the sunlight that I took many photos of these groupings.

They again cheered me up in the winter while I was painting them! This is a watercolor and colored pencil piece.

Anemone coronaria
Anemone coronaria - A Duet

These Anemones were growing in my shady perennial garden last spring. The one just before you enter the woodland paths. I composed this work from a variety of different photos I took of these brilliantly colored flowers.

I created this composition since to me they look like they are happily dancing with each other.
