Toomer's Corner

16" x 20"
Acrylic on Canvas


After the events of this past week I just knew I had to paint the Toomer's Corner trees. These trees embody something that can never be destroyed by anyone and that is the Auburn Spirit! I sent my son to take photos of the trees for me and he called back a few hours later and said " There is no way anybody is getting near those trees" ! So I had to make do with photos I already had.  It was fun to paint, even though I hate painting man made objects, that perspective gets me every time! But I love this place and trees or no trees I will still love it! I hope you enjoy looking!!

Auburn Spirit

Aubie - Sold
8"x10" acrylic on canvas

Well, since I can't get excited about Auburn football I decided to paint Aubie during the football game against Ole Miss! I am glad I painted instead of watching the game!! I am an Auburn graduate and have 2 sons currently in school at Auburn. However, my husband went to the University of Alabama and he said that he thinks we have enough Auburn art now. I hope you enjoy it and War Eagle!

War Eagle!!!!!!!


"Nova" - Sold
18x18 Acrylic on Canvas

For all you Auburn fans....this is Nova in his pre-game flight. Can't you just hear the crowd cheering WAAAAAAR Eagle Hey! This is a tradition at Auburn University  before the start of every football game. Nova is released in the top corner of the stadium and circles above the field and then takes his landing, mid-field as the crowd cheers the battle cry "War Eagle". I painted this for my son who is a junior at Auburn University. Auburn is my alma mater as well. Thanks to Carole Foret for her help with this project!
