SOLD

Submittted this to the Art on the Avenue in Houston.  Lucky for me

that's it's found a home.  I'm taking my own photos and wondering

if it's the way I should go.  Seems the colors in the original are a 

little more intense.  Maybe I'll just practice!

Living in Houston and driving to Galveston 50 million times
in my life, the oil and gas industry is part of the scenery.  I've come to love it -
all the angles and complicated lines.  Of course, this is simplified so it
won't cause you 'circuit overload'!

For some reason, I'm having fun with this whimsy and fun.
Imagination abounds and I see this in a sophisticated living area to add
some unexpected snap or maybe even a childrens' room.
So not serious!

Another horizontal but this time more realistic.  I didn't 
really intend it that way, but you know how these things
happen...sometimes it's hard to stop!

I did a similar painting  featuring a ferris wheel  awhile ago and
donated it to a charity auction set up for the victims of the Haiti earthquake 
through Laura Rathe Gallery.  Donations of my art to
philanthropic organizations is how I give back.  I loved this
ferris wheel because it denotes fun and whimsy to me.  
I named it 'Coney Island', changed it to 'Santa Monica', but since
it could really be anywhere, I changed it once again.  I love
the title, because isn't that where we all want to be?

Well, here I go again - adding another 'style' to my repatoire.
Seems as though I just like to paint a lot of different things 
in a lot of different ways.  This is fun, though, because it can
be a total abstract or it can be given life as something realistic.

I originally did this in oil pastel, but it didn't 'pop' like I wanted it to.
Somehow these sections and a fun background emerged 
and it made me think they might be dancing.  Giving life to
these rotund pears!

Just found out that this painting won 3rd place in the 

CFAI.co Art Challenge for June.  So exciting!

This is from a photo someone took of my youngest

daughter, myself and my first grandbaby.  Somehow it looks

like all three of us even without the features.  I love the 'no feature'

thing as is evident in so much I paint.  These color combinations,

Naples Yellow, Yellow Ochre, and Davey's Gray are favorites of mine.

Oddly, though today, I did do a portrait with features and I will

post that when I photograph it.

Look in the August edition (coming out July 7th) of 

Visual Language Online magazine in the CFAI.co

website for a two page spread of my most recent work.

This is my first done on the wrong side of the canvas - a new thing for me?  I always tell

my students that there are no mistakes in art, so I better stick to my words!  I have 

found that it's so fun to use oil sticks.  Question on this one is - what DOES the note say?

I painted some glazes and realized I was using the wrong side of the canvas
(something I'm sure I shouldn't admit!), but decided to do it anyway.
You know, I really liked the way it turned out.  It was only the first time
I'd used oil pastels and it was pretty fun!  I always them for
my little student artists and love the way they use them, so the teacher 
better do some practicing herself!

The background of this painting was done quite awhile ago and
I was wondering from time to time what to do with it.  I took several
photos of my (model) daughter Sarah and this image seemed to fit
into the space rather nicely I think.  Of course it doesn't look like Sarah,
but actually that's the point.  I want my figures to be anyone and
leave it up to you to create the person.

I am really having fun doing these new figuratives.  Of course,
my model is my daughter, only today she's a blonde.  She could be anyone
you want her to be.  Right now she's busy glued in on that bird!


I'm gloating for the month of May as I'm a featured artist in
