"Chesapeake
Sunset" Original Oil Painting Commission on Canvas of Chesapeake Bay.
This painting was commissioned
by Carl and Amy Don-Schroeder. I was contacted by Amy via another commission patron
of mine. She preceeded to tell me what she wanted. The painting was to be a
unique and very personal wedding gift for Carl's brother, John, and his new bride
Alexandra. As with all my commissions, I kept her on the phone for some time asking
questions, as I tried to get a feel for the painting that she was seeing in her own mind.
John loves to sail on the Chesapeake Bay in Indianapolis and lives on the cape.
Amy was thinking of something romantic - and with my research of the area, I found
that the most beautiful sunsets hover over the Chesapeake. Her waters, bridge,
sailboats, rocks and viewers are all adorned with beautiful, glowing color.

"Valle
de Viñales, Cuba" Original Art Painting Oil on Canvas of Cuban Country
Landscape.
Valle de Viñales (The Viñales Valley) is near the western tip of Cuba. It is a
beautiful landscape of hills and caves, where life centers on growing tobacco-strange red
leaves almost starved by the salty soil, but brought to life by permanent sunshine.
In the west side of the Cordillera de Guaniquanico, at the foot of the Sierra de los
Órganos, lies a region of limestone outcrops known as mogotes. These huge
round-topped hummocks rising out of the ground emerged from the sea more than two million
years ago and were formed during the Jurassic period. Farmers arrived around 1800
and began cultivating tobacco across the region. 200 years later, it is still the
lifeblood of the Viñales Valley. Viñales boasts a unique variety of plant and animal life-some of it in danger
of extinction, such as the cork palm, the agabe, the macusey hembra, the alligator oak and
the dragon tree. Several images of Cuba were given to me by a family member, after
his visit there. I painted "Valle de Viñales, Cuba" for
my husband, Havana born, to remind him of his homeland.
