This painting is a study of reflections - of reflections on antique glass bottles from red onions, garlic and a dark table using a limited palette.

This painting was done from many photos that I took during the spring season in Quebec. We are known for our apples but not everybody knows the beautiful apple blossom flower that comes before the fruit. I did my version of these flowers by painting them in blue but in reality they are different shades of pink and/or white.

This painting of my granddaughter was included in The New Creative Artist.

Painted from a photo of a friend. I've always enjoyed the vibrant color displays of boats in the Caribbean.

Batanes is group of islands at the northernmost tip of the Philippines. The place is most beautiful in its simplicity and isolation.

I am a colorist, paint all sizes and whatever strikes my fancy.

I most often paint from "love of subject." As an avid tropic traveler this simple painting speaks volumes of where my soul resides. Enjoy!

I agreed to give a demonstration at a Garden Club if the flowers were provided. A great deal of the success of this painting is due to the beauty of the bouquet. Having to work very fast kept it loose.

It seems we have buckets of seashells from over 25 years of beach trips. I decided to put some to use as the subject of this painting. My ever present turquoise water in the background. Enjoy! I did.

This is one of my favorite paintings that I have done because it reminds me of the travels together with my daughter. We loved seeing the soft rose petals in front of the hard, but beautiful architecture of the Notre Dame cathedral. The foliage in this painting is a little brighter and more brilliant than normal, because I was thinging of the light shining through the colorful windows of the chuch.

This is a bright colorful and happy artwork by Miriam Schulman depicting the taxis rushing along Park Avenue. The yellow taxis are happy notes against the bright blossoming trees and tulip lined boulevard. An 18x24" white mat is available from the artist for this piece which is a signed one of a kind original.

I must confess, orchids are one of my favorite flowers to paint in watercolor. They can be a challenge with the many different shapes and colors but I'm usually contented with the final results. This pretty orchid was painted from a live model for my friend Marilyn.

This is an example of my work inspired by methods taught in a master class under Lee Weiss many years ago. By painting on both sides of the paper and flipping it over and over on a sheet of acrylic I'm able to achieve the color mixing and textures I desire. More details are defined and refined after phase one is dry. It is a marvelous way to combine mono-printing and painting. I believe the resulting textures give the stones -- natural or architectural -- a sense of age and time.

I enjoy saving the whites in my watercolors and birch trees are my favorite subject matter for accomplishing this technique.

It was fascinating for me to paint such a subject. The colors, shapes and textures were very appealing to me. I like that paper's texture very much.

This watercolor painting is done in the deductive method of painting. This is done to give the impression of connective masses in the underpainting. This is part of my Koi series.

The Hay has been baled, however, some of the weeds, grass and a few wild flowers have returned before the farmer has time to clear the field.

Using a very liquid medium allows me to put my feelings on paper and be surprised by the results. I don't tire of going back to this painting to see what else is there. The wall hanging adds drama and softness.

Every now and again an idea pops into mind, but you're not sure what to do with it. The idea for this painting has been rattling around for a couple of years now. I think it is the creative process at its best--an idea that needs flesh. You can't get anxious about these things, you have to let them work; you have to be patient. So this last summer, I took some time to hang out with the art teacher at my school--an artist and gentleman by the name of John Brewer. We would meet up in the art room and do art--so I spent some of those days drawing on this composition, finally finishing the composition at the end of the first week of August--just about the time school was getting ready to reconvene. I took the composition home on the 7th, and painted every day and night that I had time, completing the painting on the 16th. I think the idea worked, and I'm looking forward to more paintings with this use of color.

In this everyday scene in Aït Ben Haddou, famous for the neighboring adobe fortified town which served as a set for many films in the Atlas region of Morocco, I tried to capture an instant of the village life and to convey a sense of place and light.

Every Spring the Oshawa Horticultural Society, has a Peony Festival. They invite the public to enjoy this festival & artists to show their work in the park setting.
