This is a fun piece that shows a somewhat intimidating (or nosy?) stare of a barn owl. Barn owls have a complicated design on their feathers. I had fun painting every single detail. It was fun to play with the different shades of brown, gold, black and grey!

I painted this piece because I love Eagles. This gorgeous bird has a commanding presence, and this painting not only conveys authority, but also pure steely determination in its stance. Eagles symbolize power and strength, and the Bald Eagle is also a symbol of protection.
It’s a beautiful piece to convey these attributes, while bringing in a gem of the natural world to the workspace.

Swans are very intriguing birds. They are graceful and beautiful, like little queens in the waterscapes.
Black swans are even more intriguing because they are to me very mysterious!
Their black feathers reflect different colors as the light hits them, something that is very mesmerizing for an artist.
This painting of Black Swans in an embrace, brings drama, and a romantic flair to a room. A sure conversation starter!

Dignity and elegance are what a Dahlia symbolize. Red Dahlias in particular, are favorites of mine. I always have them in my garden. Red Dahlias are like little gems in my garden. Their strong, bold, red color somewhat punctuates the design of the garden.

If you want a piece that conveys a strong and bold voice to a room, a beautiful statement piece, this painting will fit the bill.

One summer I saw this cheerful pair of Daylilies, like two happy rays of sunshine in my garden. So, I painted them because I wanted to capture their natural beauties through a painting, just like how they appear in my garden.
I call this “Cheerful Duet”.
This happy duo will add a burst of sunshine in a room! One that remind you of a beautiful sunny day in the garden.

Blue is a royal color. The different shades of blue are true weaknesses of mine. It’s very relaxing, yet its beauty and radiance permeates the soul. No wonder the Delphiniums, with its beautiful shades of blue and purple, symbolizes joy, happiness, and goodwill!
This piece that I painted from the Delphiniums of my own garden brought me a lot of joy. I am hoping it will bring the same joy to any room it may find its way.

I love seeing the vibrant blue lovely colors of Iris flowers in the garden. The different hues of blue, purple and pink, that these flowers show are beautiful additions to a garden’s color palette.
I named this painting “Blue Fire”, because I find this flower to be beautiful and courageous in owning its striking blue vibrant color in the garden. The Iris flower symbolizes wisdom and courage. It is named after Iris, a messenger of the Gods in Greek mythology. The blue color is also the symbol of royalty!
So, if you want to bring joy and happiness, by displaying a sparkle of Blue Fire, to your office space, and enjoy a little slice of garden royalty, you must have this painting!
