"Be Kind" in honor of Fargo theater's 100 years

 Too cold and too lazy to go downtown and take photos of the theater.  I looked at many many photos on line of it and did a sketch.  Took me awhile to do this watercolor, i drew the car several times to get the perspective right.  It looks like it has a front flat tire.  Anyway the sky is wonderful.  ha  

"The Birds" or "That Theater in Fargo, Then"

The infamous Fargo Theater is celebrating it's 100 year anniversary in March '26.  We at G4 are honoring it with a theme show plus we will advertise that we have 100 theater images ready for purchase in our wonderful gallery, OK??  Sounds like a good idea. 

 

Nova Scotia wanna be

I painted this in '24   anyway i cropped it today and used a matt that was cut for another failed painting.  Boy it looks good now.   I had bucket list theme in mind when i did this 'cause Carl and I were always going to go there and we didn't make time.  This is referenced by photos of Peggy's Cove i goggled.   

"Let 'em eat cake"

 

Getting ahead of myself.  Theme for August at G4 is "let them" I had such a good time painting this. When i sketched it, he/she was alot younger looking.  Don't like that the frosting looks like blood.  oh well. it tells a story anyway.

 It's attempted loosely applied watercolor.  

JFK and OSJ in the 60's

 This is one of my first ever commissions.   Reference was a photo in the newspaper. OSJ was a senator in our state, his son asked me to paint this.  I hadn't seen it for 40 years or more and was pleased to find out the family has kept it around.  I worked in oil then. 

Those were the good days in our country and it wasn't difficult to "look at" and "listen to" our U.S. President, like it is now.  .. 

Doors

Had the opportunity to hang art on front wall at G4 this month.  I painted the top one to go with the shed door. I enjoy painting windows and doors and wood.  May have to add animals to make art buyers happy.  just joking.  
 

"Before they are gone"

 I love re-doing my art.  Theme this month at G4 is No Cents.  So what did I do??  Threw some pennies and glued them down.  Oh Ya !  Love how the one penny caught the light for the photo.
