Where Warmth Finds a Branch

Boomer  - Oil on canvas:  There are dogs who simply share our homes, and then there are dogs who share our lives. Boomer was the latter — a Springer Spaniel with a gaze that could quiet a room and a spirit that moved with equal parts devotion and mischief. In this portrait, his expressive brown eyes become the focal point, drawing the viewer into a moment of connection that feels both intimate and enduring. Painted in 2015, the piece blends realism with a softly impressionistic landscape, allowing Boomer’s presence to rise from a world of color and memory. The textured brushwork in his black‑and‑white coat reflects the tactile truth of a beloved companion, while the rolling hills and luminous sky behind him echo the joy and freedom he carried wherever he went. It is 18 x 24, 1  depth, framed in a matching floating frame. Signed Canvas or Paper Prints Available, Contact Artist for more information. mary@maryspaintings.com

Echos of a Fragile Sea - Honoring the beauty of an endangered species in it's fragile environment. The Atlantic green sea turtle moves like a quiet hymn through the blue—an ancient life carrying the memory of oceans older than our stories. In the soft spill of sunlight, she becomes both survivor and sentinel, gliding past coral cities that depend on her just as she depends on them. Her presence feels like a blessing, a reminder that endurance can be gentle, and that even in a world of vanishing tides, beauty still insists on being seen. She is the living echo of a fragile future, swimming toward hope with every slow, deliberate stroke.

In The Autumn Sentinel, the blue jay rises like a bright, defiant note against the warm hush of fall. Perched among leaves that burn in shades of ember and gold, it stands alert, as if guarding the last color before winter claims the branches. The soft green field and pale sky behind it create a gentle contrast, allowing the bird’s vivid blues to feel almost ceremonial. This is a moment of stillness and pride — a stately creature holding its place in the turning season. This is 11" by 14", 1.5" deep, oil on wood with painted sides Signed Canvas or Paper Prints Available, Contact Artist for more information. mary@maryspaintings.com

The forest in Where the Green World Breathes feels like a living cathedral, its light falling in soft, moss‑green hushes as the waterfall threads its quiet song through stone and shadow. The stag stands poised at the edge of that shimmering veil, not as a visitor but as part of the land’s own heartbeat—an emblem of stillness within motion, strength within gentleness. In this moment, the wild world seems to inhale, holding its breath in reverence, as if acknowledging the sacredness of every creature that depends on its enduring grace. 48 by 24 and the depth is 1; will come wrapped in a frame.
