Fancy Flight

This was a fantasy painting, also for the corner Studio Spring Show.  A fun and magical bird flying high above the snowflakes.

Snowbird

I painted Snowbird for the Spring Show at the Everett Corner Studio Gallery.  We had just had a heavy snow, and I thought to myself: "If I was going to make a snowbird (rather than a snowman), what would it look like? and what would I use for wings, feathers, etc.  I decided branches for wings, and nylon pastry basters for the crown of feathers, and of course, a carrot nose!  Too funny!!

Sandpiper Shuffle


Sandpipers shuffle back and forth from shore to surf, following the ebb and flow of the tide, searching for tasty tidbits. I enjoyed painting this typical northwest shore scene. Gaylen Whiteman.

Partner's for Life


This pair of Eagles landed in a tree outside my front door. The larger male landed first, and his mate flew to a position just below him. She seemed to lean into him for comfort. They remained in this pose together on the same tree branch for at least ten minutes. I’m sure they were a mating pair - Partner’s for Life. Gaylen Whiteman.

Original and cards available.

Daylily Reflections


An early morning rain had left my daylilies drenched. Looking at them through my window, I could almost feel the wetness of the water droplets. I’ve tried to capture that feeling in this painting. Gaylen Whiteman.
