Decorated stars to hang @ Gallery4

These are hanging in the window at Gallery4 as Christmas decor.  Hope folks come there to shop for presents.  more fun than Amazon, i'd say. 
 

A Roll in the Hay

Another acrylic on (larger than i am used to) canvas.  I had the title before it was done. I painted the sky holding the canvas upside down and was stunned by it when i turned it around.. whee.  what fun.  painting is more colorful than the photo..   !! ??  

Succulents in the Wild

 Not sure why i'm having trouble photographing these acrylic paintings.  this is darker that should be.. Oh well.  I used a photo Mike sent me from Colorado this summer for reference.  Didn't think succulents grew out in the wild.  the yellow area is all dandelions.  The blue was kept because it complimented the greens.. it is not water.  It is " abstract " water..  tee hee.  

2-12-24   i brought this one home and reworked it..  added more value and color to the path and water.  And changed the title..   

The Homesteads

I painted these in oil back in the 70's, no dates written down, of course.  They are of the homesteads of my hubby, Carl's grandparents.  top one is the Koehmstedt homestead and other is the Boesl family.  i plan to pass them on to some lucky relative.  The wires on the back were put on with staples and thumb tacks but it worked for 50 years.  geez i'm old..
