Among the Trees
This was inspired by my walks through our countryside with my dog Bella (a Great Pyrenees) on our farm in northwest Ohio. I wanted to capture the calm of the woodlands and the serenity of our creek as it turns and tumbles over mossy rocks and sparkling stones. The semi-precious stones I incorporated are Peridot, Lapis, Bloodstone, quartz, mother of pearl, Dragonsblood, Tiger Eye, glass and mica. A textural delight that draws you in as it sparkles and shimmers at every angle. Wired and ready to hang in a floating frame of antique gold. 30″ wide by 40″ high. $3,400
Eternity
Eternity is an acrylic on 27×33 wood panel, framed in a black floater frame. The foreground is accented with black obsidian, blue agate, lapis, carnelian, abalone, citrine, crushed glass and mica. I place the stones individually to create the greatest effect according to color, shape and size. $1,800
Pacific Peace
Pacific Peace – is a sunrise simply because I’m a morning beach walker. This is 24×48 on wood panel, framed in “gunmetal metalic’. The shoreline is loaded with several amethyst geodes, amethyst points, and amethyst chips along with tourmaline, obsidian, carborundum, pink opal, mother of pearl, lepidoliter, mica, and glass that accent the rocky breakers and beachfront. The sky is reflected in the water that sparkles and shimmers – changing as you view it from different angles. Just as in life, things look different when you view things from a different perspective. $3,400
Moonglow
Moonglow is an acrylic on 36×24 wood panel that is accented with smokey quartz, dragons blood, blue agate, peridot, lapis lazuli, tourmaline, abalone, green aventurine, bloodstone, citrine, mica and glass. I created Moonglow with the intention of capturing the beauty of the woods and creek on our farm during a full moon. It has an ethereal glow to it and changes depending upon natural daylight or ambient lighting. $2,000
