Where is Everyone?

Oh  i love how this turned out.  I started to cover this free canvas (thanks Sherri)  with red and cobalt .  it  looked like the beloved Pacific ocean to me.  I spent many hours looking through my photos of gulls. 

 I have it hanging in my office where the walls are a rusty color.  WOW.    
 

slippery boots Gifted

 i won a couple of Gesso Panels at a RRWS tea party.  This one is 6x6 and VERY smooth. The acrylic paint seemed to be slippery, hence the title.  Yes, i've painted these kickers b/4.

Bobby, the Farmer

 Cousin, Bob, texted this image to me yesterday. Apparently i painted this in '93 and gave it to them (He and Claudia) for their wedding. I love how loosely i painted then.  Gee Whiz, have i tightened up over the years???  

Facing East

 

This is a "Cover-up" painting. You've heard of them, Right?  I painted the little Wranglers a long time ago and I've stolen the frames off them and put them aside.   Yesterday, i was wanting to paint a sunflower mostly because my daughter has been watching one grow in the back of a pickup truck all summer, and has shared the progress.  ANYWAY, i always liked the fence and background on this.  Goodbye, little cowboy.  wah laa.   LOVE painting in acrylics.  

Show at Touchmark

 Today I hung 20 of my paintings, with the help of friend, Connie Riedman, at Touchmark Senior Living, here in Fargo.  They look good and the space is nice, bright and used for activities.. Exciting.  

Pink or Yellow, that is the question.

Going thru old unframed paintings . found this mixed media weird-o.  I cut it in half and framed it in 11x14 matt and frame.  It's kinda spooky.  I think paper was covered with gauche, then w/c, then pigment lifted with wet brush, leaving stained hues, then acrylic for highlights, probably 20 years ago.  

That's my story and i'm sticking to it.  

 

Me

 

I found this photo on my computer somewhere..  couldn't find it again.  Wanted to replace the 20 year old photo in my bio. so i put it here, then fiddled around and got it moved, i think.

 This was a painting party at Beth's house on Christmas a couple of years ago.. when Jonathan's family was here for holiday fun.
