Ever since a college trip to Europe that included a jaunt to Venice, I've been in love with the color and architecture of this fascinating 'floating' city. This drawing measures 3x4 inches and is set in a vintage gold 5x7 frame.

What is your favorite flower? Mine is the California Poppy because it grew in my grandmother's garden, mixed in with the carrots and radishes. I love that these bright orange flowers grow in clusters on the side of the road of my new home, San Juan Island. They make it feel like home. $25.

I had the idea of marketing some of my miniature lighthouse drawings as Bookshelf Lighthouses, little works of art that could be placed on a shelf in front of or beside your favorite books. Some people like the idea, I've sold several at the San Juan Coffee Roasting Company. I plan to expand the subject matter to include more than just lighthouses and to approach some book stores with them.

Here is a 3 inch drawing of New Dungeness lighthouse at Dungeness Spit near Sequim (pronounced scwim, not sea-cwe-um) on the north edge of the Olympic Peninsula. This lighthouse is the second oldest in Washington state. $22. (SOLD)
