Nature's Touch Down


 Had this free canvas that was painted really blue for awhile..

  On the trip back home from Hawley art show last week, the sunset was so spectacular that i just had to paint what was in my memory of it.   Well, i had planned to put the infamous farm scene in foreground..  but i decided to paint it ochre-ish first.  I spritzed it for some reason and got those little ghost trees..    Happy accident???

Purple Faire #2


 I painted this a while ago.. took it out of the frame/matt and saw that it is square..  more background..  i darkened and lightened areas, added more color..   i may frame it square.  have always loved it.

Bloomin' Early


I painted this Saturday during my stint at West Acres Mall.  i dug up some old photos  of our irises for reference .. I visited with a lot of folks at the mall.  It was fun, as usual.   

White of the paper usually does not photograph well.. ugh..   but I photographed this outside so flash wasn't as strong ..  yes, outside...

Willie-Nillie Gifted



 i painted this at West Acres Mall in the art room where G4 members are exhibiting for a month.  We are taking turns demo-ing.. is that a word?  anyway, this looks like Willie is going in for a colonoscope, by the expression on his face.. not my best work..

Crow Envy 2


 I remodeled my Crow Envy that i painted a couple of year ago for the Crow Show at the Spirit room.  They needed something added.  My friend Marcy suggested hats and i went for it.  also redid the background. 

  i thought about calling them Jim and Donald Crow.  but i opted not to..   eek

Wonky Waters


 Started out as something to do while at the weekly get together at the Hjemkomst.  i sketched the boats off my phone photo of Nova Scotia painting.   tried to keep it watery and loose.. "Good Luck with that Judi.."

"No Pancakes For You !"

 

Oh my, this was fun.  Saw a photo of Edith Bunker on a YouTube reel, sitting in my kitchen from the 70's.  I sketched her body language and went crazy with the colors i remember from that era.  yes, we had  avocado and gold appliances and BR fixtures in our first house.  and table cloths and curtains..
