I painted this still life a few years ago. In my opinion, radishes don’t taste delicious but their colors are delicious to the eye.

Going-to-the Sun Road
Going-to-the Sun Road is a narrow, two-lane road that runs from the east entrance to the west entrance of Glacier National Park. Its winding hairpin turns are not for the faint of heart. The highest point on the 50-mile road is Logan Pass. At this point there’s a steep hiking trail to a beautiful alpine meadow that’s inhabited by bighorn sheep and mountain goats.
Hvar, Croatia
Like a string of pearls, beautiful islands trace the Croatian coastline. Hvar, with its gorgeous harbor and lavender-covered hills, is incredibly charming.
Sidi’s on Bohicket Road
Sidi’s roadside market, sheltered by a magnificent live oak, has been a Johns Island, South Carolina landmark for decades.
Luang Prabang, Laos
A dear friend allowed me to do a painting from her remarkable photo of three Buddhist monks. With street scenes like this, Luang Prabang – the old capitol of Laos – feels as if you’re stepping back in time.
Sparrow Hawk
Dear Minnesota friends live in the St. Croix River valley, one of America’s most scenic waterways. This sparrow hawk has adopted their backyard as one of his favorite haunts.
San Miguel de Allende
San Miguel de Allende, a colonial-era city, is renowned for its baroque/neoclassical architecture. It was the first municipality to declare its independence from Spanish rule during the Mexican War of Independence. In the early twentieth century foreign artists and writers discovered its beauty and made it a cultural enclave. The town is noted for its narrow cobblestone streets and beautiful private courtyards.
Imagining Music
After staring at hundreds of notes on the sheet music, this five-year old created his own melody.
Late November Sunset
Kiawah Island, a barrier island off the coast of South Carolina, frequently has dramatic sunsets. In this one cirrus clouds reflect the sun’s final burst of light across one of the island’s lagoons.
Still Life
I asked a friend why people like still lifes. She said because they give comfort to us.
