Fred and Ethel

More animals, what can I say?  This couple was just too cute not to paint them, and they loved the camera.  

Is Spring Finally Here?

SOLD

7"x5" Oil on Gessobord

 

 

After a few days away and lots of unpacking and laundry, tomorrow, back to painting.  It's always nice to get away, but it's always nice to get home again too.  I've always loved to paint birds and these little chickadee's are always fun to paint.  This is only one of many that I have done and I'm sure there will probably be more.

Ready, Set, Go!

8"x10" Oil on Canvas

SOLD 



This painting was another inspired by my favorite model, my granddaughter.  I love painting her and I love painting snow.  After much encouragement from one of my artist friends, I submitted this painting to be considered for the local Ronald McDonald House Christmas card.  To my surprise, they called to tell me it was chosen.  I am so honored, they are such a wonderful charity.  The cards are now available to order, the form is on their website.     http://www.rmhc-swva.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=75&Itemid=131

Down on the Farm

SOLD

12"x24" Oil on Canvas 

 

This painting was inspired from an old black and white photo I found of the farm my father grew up on.  It ended up being a good study of greens; there are just too many in nature.  Greens have always my nemesis.

The Harmonica Man & His Singing Dog

12"x9" Oil on Canvas

 

This was such a fun painting to do.  I love going to cities and seeing street musicians. They are quite often very interesting subjects to paint.  I'm working on a series of them; this one is the quirkiest of them.
