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!

I've fallen in love with oil pastels.  This is one of my newest paintings
in this medium.  I feel as though I have a lot of control when using these
and it's scribbly fun!

pieces of my work and different styles.  Take a look!

Must look in CFAI.co  Visual Language online magazine
to see a 4 page spread of my art, most of which I sold at a 
private show June 2 in Austin. 


Also I have a chosen juried piece in the 4th annual 
Archway Gallery show in Houston.  Party this Saturday and
it's kind of an art crawl with 30 Houston galleries open.

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.
