Birthday Celebrations -

Enjoyed my birthday this week. Had a wonderful day. I joined my art partners, Mary Rose and Violetta and we painted on St. Armand's Circle in beautiful Sarasota.

A photographer from one of the local papers took this picture, which captured the essence of this beautiful day. My painting is called "Lunch Date"

Our Blessed Mother

All who know me know my first love is "plein aire painting". As a member of a 3 person group callled www.pleinairecottageartists.com I spend a large portion of my life outdoors.

The beautiful summer weather I love and when the heat gets too much to bear, my air-conditioned studio beckons.

Spiritual paintings are also a passion.

This painting of Our Lady of Sorrows has my late sister (Philomena Glynn Doyle) as the model. Like Our Lady my sister was a humble, gracious, kind, beautiful, thoughtful, intelligent, passionate, fair and unselfish, always wishing the best to everyone.
