Nana Jet and Jamieson

I painted this based on a photo of me and my grandson, Jamieson Berney.  We were hiking last summer on San Juan Island, in Washington State.  I just loved that hike and the sweet way he seemed to be "looking after" both me and his Grandpa Bob.

Out and About on the Eastern Shore!

These paintings are depictions of some of my favorite places, and things to do on the Eastern Shore of Maryland where I live.  The first two are acrylic paintings of the wildflowers and beaches of Chincoteague Island, a truly wild place where much of nature is preserved in a National Park for all to enjoy.  The third painting is a pastel of the soybean fields at Bloomingdale Farm in Queen Anne's County and the next is an oil of a friend on a kayaking expedition in Eastern Bay near Kent Island.  Finally, the last acrylic is one of my favorite restaurants in Easton, MD, Mason's.  Their patio is a delightful place to have lunch or an early supper.

Posting for Kent Island Federation of Arts

My art league, Kent Island Federation of Arts (KIFA) is celebrating 50 years in existence this year and many of us have contributed a 12 x 12 canvas to an auction fundraiser for KIFA.  This is my contribution.  I imagined a moonlit sky over the ocean. SOLD at KIFA Gala fundraiser!

Painting The Desert Southwest - Tucson Area

Posting some new paintings from my trip to the Southwest in January.  I loved the mountains and the desert scenery and cacti all around.  Here are a few paintings from that trip.
