Still Life with Cognac


Watercolor on paper,
7 1/2" x 10"


This wonderful bottle of Cognac has you dreaming of Smells of undergrowth, dried fruits, and above all deep smells of violet and iris, or is that the partially consumed glass in front of it?

While we all seek that Royal Moment, few of us get to experience it. Too good to be called just XO cognac, it is given the full Extra Old title.

Do you dream of special moments as you see this? I hope it brings back many special memories for you!

Beautiful Sunny Lily

Watercolor on paper,
10" x 8"

The Sun is shining bright and so is this Lily!

I love the interesting mix of colors this flower shares with us when it blooms!

You can see why the birds and the bees are attracted to flowers like this, and even why they are such a celebration at Easter!

Sunset on a Stormy Ocean

Watercolor on paper,
9 1/2" x 7"


After a long and stormy day, as the sun is setting it breaks through and shows it's beauty for all to see, as a reminder it is still there!

 The ocean is still rough with large swells and rough surf rolling onto the beaches.

Lilies in Moonlight

Watercolor on paper,
7 3/4" x 7 7/8"

Two lilies under Moonlight, still on display, sharing their beauty for all to see.

Looking closely, you can still see the soft shadows in the moonlight, as it gently caresses the petals with it's rays, as they reach to enjoy it's light.

One bud remains closed, not yet ready to enjoy the fullness of life.

Gates of Kerch City, Ukraine

Watercolor on paper,
5 1/2" x 8 1/2"


As you come into my Home town of Kerch, Ukraine, you will see this bronze statue of a Griffin, with the light and 6 lamps on the left  and right side of the street.

The Bronze Plaque in the base of the statue depicts a famous area of the city of Kerch, in a significant time past.

The Griffin was a symbol of strength and security, and often used to indicate power and protection, telling travelers who came that they would be safe here.
