Riverview Park near The Blue Ridge Parkway and It is Difficult at Times...

My Artwork








Riverview at Dusk Original 16"x20" Oil painting $670.00




Riverview at Dusk is one of many sites that my husband researches for bird and butterflies. He is oftentimes there very early on Saturday and Sunday mornings. It is a beautiful Radford City Virginia park on The New River.


Difficult Times

The circumstances of my life are rather difficult at times. I am not going to be specific because of what a friend once said. What is the use of complaining? Someone will always complain louder.

Still, most of my friends do not have the problem I have to contend with everyday and sometimes I envy them. I do not have the freedom most people my age have and there are times I would like to scream and I do.

My husband and I do the best we can and that is all I am going to say. Enough venting. I have a lot of work to do.






Nearing The Shoals Original 12"x13" Oil Pastel Painting $342.00


This is where I would like to be right now. I am very thankful that we will be at the beach in a few weeks.
