The Fishing Hole

Medium: Acrylic on Gallery Canvas

Size: 24”x36”

Ascension Day is an important holiday for the Amish, held on the 40th day after Easter Sunday. Whether picnicking, visiting relatives, or attending church services, for the Amish community Ascension Day is a time for family, faith, and reflection. It’s a day of spiritual renewal, and hope. The traditional Amish way of celebrating this holiday is through communal meals or attending services at local churches some choose the opportunity to enjoy a quiet relaxing day at home. Families gather and head into the woods or countryside for a picnic. During this time, they take the opportunity to relax and spend time together as a family. Young people enjoy the chance to mingle, laugh, and play softball or volleyball or go fishing. While traveling through Lancaster Pennsylvania I came across this scene of seven boys spending part of their Ascension Day fishing next to a Grist Mill.

Smiling Poppies, 18x24x1.3”, oil on canvas

This impressionist floral painting was uncharacteristically painted in the “Chiaroscuro” technique. It was also a challenge because the colourful details would show any imperfection against the cherry black background. But, in the end, it turned out, to be a happy meadow scene.

Her international award-winning works include "Signature Florals" as well as landscapes, still lifes, wildlife, portraiture and organic abstract.

Catching Some Rays, Photograph

The bright yellow of the sunflower is striking. The petals standing at attention and reaching high appear to be taking as much energy from the sun’s rays as they possibly can.
