Theme wall 12-25 "Wishes"

To help me get thru a sad day (my friend Ag died today), I painted to get ready for the December theme wall at G4.  I added a candle to a 2010 painting of a cup cake.  and  it just seemed like a moon and star are fitting for Wishes.  I cut the image of the moon out of packing tape and it worked OK..    
 

Leaf us Alone

 Painted these leaves a long long time ago. I put the dark background in and fixed up this Free Frame with some paint.  They went together well. Wish I had someone to do the framing for me, free.  Missing Carl. 

"T'was a Piece of Cake" Title: Santa Frog

 Wondering about the title??  This painting has been around for a long time. There was a piece of cake on the plate.  Now there is a frog climbing out of a hole..    Santa Frog, in fact.   in honor of Portland OR. 

Back Shed Decor

 I so love painting weathered wood using only 3 or 4 colors.  I did paint the canvas with Naphthol Crimson first.  I plan to exhibit this during our "Holiday Boutique at G4.  A simple wreath says it all, right??    

Redheads Have More Fun

I had sketched and painted this image of my granddaughter about 20+ years ago. I so loved the ambiance it presented : Carefree, Young, Great Hair!!!! So I painted it again.

 I put a background into this one, but when i added the green, the shoes vanished..  Had to darken the green alot by using more blue pigment, to bring the feet forward and important. yes!  

 

Art Medium Variety

 I painted these 3 works in one week.  Swing girl is Watercolor, Out Behind the Barn is Acrylic and the funny fat bird is Colored Pencil .. We explored colored pencil at HAGS group, i kinda forgot about using them.  It's all about the paper, of course.

touchmark signage

     This huge sign was on the outside of the auditorium where my show was on exhibit. I get to keep it.
