Some of my favorite art subjects are wildlife, fish and shells.  The many colorful variations in nature are constantly inspiring.

History is another subject that holds a great fascination for me, inspiring many pieces of art.  If you are familiar with the subjects of a painting you will appreciate the accuracy of each detail for time and place.  Often as much time goes into my research as into the painting itself...ah, but it's a wonderful way to spend time!

Living by the ocean has contributed to my subject matter too, as whimsical mermaids occasionally hijack a painting to inhabit (caring not at all about factual accuracy).
