A good painting has the power to uplift sagging spirits, to take us to a calm, serene place or to inspire us in ways nothing else can.

It still amazes me. Take some red, mix it with some yellow and just like magic, orange. Spread green on canvas and it becomes a grassy hillside. Add blue and white for clear blue sky or white puffy coulds. And how about a bubbling stream sliding around blue slate stones and under moss. Mix colors and spread them on. Hang it on your wall and every time you look at it, magic.

Hi, I'm Diane Overcash. I've known that awesome fascination with artwork since my childhood and it still to this day never ceases to amaze me. On this website you will find my oil and acrylic pieces. I look for beautiful and inspiring parts of life that call out, "hey, this is wonderful." Then I get out the brushes and go to work.

I find endless possibilities from the corners my own neighborhood to the vistas across the ocean. And sometimes it is the ocean.

And now I have the great privilige of bringing these beautiful paintings to your home.

All my landscapes, still lifes and portraits can be found by clicking on the buttons to the left of this page. Happy browsing.
