Watkins Glen State Park

Here are some of my original photographs taken during a trip to Watkins Glen State Park, NY.

Landscape Photos

Here are a few favorite spring summer 2012 pictures. Hope you enjoy!

Better Photographs

Using trial and error for a few months has finally resulted in better jewelry photographs with the desired white background. What do you think of the final product?

NEW Oil Painting

Here is a photo of my 16x20 still life oil painting that was completed just yesterday.  It is of two cherry tomatoes with some lettuce in a metal strainer.  If you have any suggestions for a title for this piece, feel free to leave a comment :)

New Oil Painting!

After quite a long time without any new completed oil paintings, this 9x12 still life was finished last week.  It is titled Ready or Not and was painted alla prima (wet into wet) using my post impressionistic style and impasto technique.  This composition was painted from life in my studio.  Ready or Not 9x12 Oil on canvas by Laura Holzschuh.

Love of Labradorite

Labradorite is one of my all time favorite gemstones! Here is a picture of a OOAK piece I created using the 16x23mm focal pendant and solid sterling silver fine gauge wire.

This piece flashes magnificent blue and green. The natural dark lines that run through the gemstone remind me of trees in a landscape.

Houseplant Pictures

Here are a couple photos of some tropical houseplants (Peace Lilies) and the cacti collection.
