I have begun yet another 'series' and that is clothes that I choose 
to call 'Frocks".  Problem is, what do I call the men's frocks?
Certainly not 'frocks' so any suggestions would be much appreciated!
This is fun - I just peruse my closet and drag out something and hang it up!
I plan on doing a commission for a friend that has requested 
I paint her wedding dress.  I have made, yes made, frames for these
'frocks' from old shutter slats and I love them!  So... now I'm a carpenter!  
Will post photo of those later.

Rustic Old San Miguel Door by M. Allison

San Miguel Door V

I'm hooked on these old doors!  Done in
 acrylic and texture, these take a while to
measure and get the proportions right, 
but they dry fast.  Since I usually paint
in oil, this is a treat.  This is part of my
'Door Series', such a clever name!

Muted and foggy in Harbortown.  This is one of the largest paintings
that I've painted.  BIG!  It's the most recent in my 
Abstract Landscapes series, although is has a little abstract and
a little realism.  
Offers taken and financing available.  Can't beat it!

The collaged background of this painting is done in an old
yellowed dress pattern I found of my grandmother's (Bawmaw)
who used to make all my clothes.  It seemed perfect
for this subject because I knew I wanted
to paint her enveloped in a wrap.  She needs a dress, 
don't you think?

SOLD at Art on the Avenue

24 X 36  oil, graphite

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!
