Since I’m self taught, l love challenges! My next thoughts were to paint metal. But instead of forks and knives or a silver vase, l decided a motor bike would be more fun. After dressing in my little white shorts to “fit in” with the crowd, I drove my Mercedes to the Rock Store on Mulholland Highway. There I met Jay Leno. I shyly asked if he would sit on his bike for a photo. Published "Biker magazine" Watercolor 30"X40" 1997

When I lived in Santa Monica, l frequently would enjoy visiting Paramahansa Yogananda’s Lake Shrine off Sunset Blvd in Malibu. One can walk around the picturesque lake and windmill, or meditate in small alcoves and benches, surrounded by fragrant and immaculately kept gardens. After writing a story for my book of animals, I photographed some lilies by the shore to be created into this painting. Watercolor 24"X30" 2003

Former home of Scott Hamilton, a retired American figure skater and Olympic gold medalist. I offered to paint this for the realtor to give as a gift when he sold the house instead of a case of champagne. He had it on an easel in the house, but had no intention of paying me. Without a contract, I was stuck until my dentist offered me 3 Xs as much money in trade! Former home of Scott Hamilton Michael Graves architect Watercolor 30"X40" 2004
