Welcome to Magical Moments Fine Art! My chosen subjects are inspired by the forests, vegetation, lakes, creeks, hills and skies around my home in Northern California. My originals are rendered with great care in pastels. Each painting has taken me many months to create and finalize. Many of them have several layers of different pastel colors to achieve the brilliant effects and contrast that I require.
In these landscapes and skyscapes, I am painting my emotional response to sunlight as it bathed a hillside at day’s end, lit up a tree from behind in the morning, or transformed the clouds in the sky into a panorama of glorious colors. These are the magical moments I live for, the moments that inspire my soul on a deeply spiritual level.
The phrase,”Magical Moments” describes what it is like for me to create each painting. Every moment I spend painting is magical. Anxiety, worry, regrets disappear as I apply colors to paper. All I’m aware of is a kind of peaceful excitement - and love. I hope that in viewing these creations, you will experience some Magical Moments of your own.
What's for sale on this site are fine art Giclee reproductions (aka 'prints') of my original paintings. These prints have every bit of the detail, brilliance and rich color of the originals. They are printed on the highest quality paper or satin canvas., delivered with an acid free backing suitable for framing. The result is strikingly similar to an oil painting. Unlike the original pastels, they do not need to be framed under glass, so there is no issue with unwanted reflections.
