Birdie B and B and "Meet me for a Drink? "

 


I usually recoil when someone says my art is "Cute"  but with this bird houses one, i think it is OK..   I have a lot of small frames in "storage"..  most are designed for photos.  I did find a few usable plus a friend gave me some small canvas boards..   these are acrylic using limited amt of colors.  I like painting that way.

@ Da Lake X 4


 I have had these frames forever.  Had my kids grad photos in them for years.  I wish i knew who made them, either my Dad or my uncle Bill.   ANYWAY, i painted these 5"x7" canvases in acrylic and had the right idea of putting them on front of the frames. Wah Lah!!  oh what kinda price goes on these for the Cormorant Art Show next month !!!

Granny's Pot Collection


 It was time!!!  This collection of mine resides on a shelf in my kitchen.  They needed to be washed, you know, like the "spring cleaning" that used to happen???.   Anyway I did this watercolor instead.

Church Choir (commission)


 The Roses picked up this commission today.  I think they liked it.  It certainly tells a story about singing hymns during service and the size of the choir.  I enjoyed painting it, for sure.

Snap, Crackle, Pop


 Another theme wall piece is ready.  This was fun and I had painted the blue and spritzed it awhile ago and stewed over it.  Our wonderful country will be celebrating 250 years this year.  So much history has been made and i feel like we are going backwards in some of the accomplishments we've made with this present leadership.   Kindness, love, awareness and fireworks will bring us back.

Toe Tappers


 Reference for this is a photo i took at the Dresden museum in 1990.  My brother-in-law and his band. (minus 2 players since I didn't want to paint an accordion ).  I had sketched a couple of them in my sketch book.   I loved their body language and i made up the background.   Not sure of the title.  Old time music for sure.

Bit of a Garden


 Did this little watercolor while i was "hosting" the FMVA show at the mall. Was pleased to find a free frame in my stack of free frames, that was the right size.  

Spring is here. Saw a guy walking in my neighborhood without a dog.   (That is my humor showing.)
