Painted from a photograph I took of the spring flowers from my garden. Meant to paint the entire arrangement, but these two flowers begged to be painted first! Enjoy!
Photograph taken on location in Maine by Lanny Cook. Also available on canvas - almost looks 3D! Maine is such a georgeous State, and we especially love the lighthouses.

This painting was quite a challenge and took over two months to finish. The original is matted and framed in a burnished gold 18x24 frame and will look stunning on your wall, or on a decorative easel. The limited-edition giclee prints are matted for a 16x20 frame.
I painted the background mountain range a couple of years ago and it sat on a shelf because it was so plain. A couple of weeks ago, I got it out and determined what to do with it - add the tree in the foreground for perspective and depth. Then, I added the pine trees on the near mountains. It changed the whole look of the painting. Original 14x17 floated on mat and framed; limited-edition giclee prints 11x14
This watercolor is based on scenes I've seen on the Blue Ridge Parkway in beautiful North Carolina. Don't you just love the fall season? The trees get all dressed up in their colorful clothes.
We were at the Asheville Farmer's Market and these peppers jumped out at me - they were so colorful. We bought a pound, came home, tried several arrangements, and they looked best in this silver dish. Then I painted them. This painting has been entered in a national art contest. The original is SOLD; limited-edition giclee prints are available: size 16x20.
Judy is a watercolor artist from North Carolina and has always had an interest in art and painting. It wasn't until her mid-50s when she decided to get serious about fulfilling her 'someday' dream of becoming a professional artist and the next 'Mimi Moses'. Judy has studied watercolor under nationally known artists from North Carolina and Florida. She loves to paint scenes from photographs taken on her varied travels, and up close, in-your-face still life and flowers. She has an eye for detail and is known for her bold colors. She got into her first juried art show at age 60, and believes it's never too late to fulfill a dream.
