"Buffet Broads" sold 10-'15


This is taken from a photo i took at our "RRWS picnic with hats" this summer.
On the photo there were potato chip sacks and tupperware thingys.. i made up the buffet items and was hungry afterwards.
3/2014.. I revisited this painting and worked on the background and cropped it some.. replaced the photo.. tried, anyway..

"Lookin' her over" revisited DONATED


Once again, i am redoing older paintings.. a fun pastime for us "snow stayers".. the original painting was posted in Oct '09--
I "wiped out" 3 figures, added a 1/2 hidden old car and put tops on the gas pumps.. Carl told me they needed to have those circle tops on and he told me size, color and all i needed to know about them.. I also added more color in some areas.. Love those cars............. Donated to Pekin fundraiser

"Rust In Peace!" SOLD


I am still having a "love affair" with the old car photos my friend Margaret gave me. The car on the right is from the sketch i used as my Christmas card this year. Love the shadows that were on the car next to it.. As usual I have trouble with background.. but that seems to be the area my art friends like best . altho one "critic" asked if they were in a tent... Note: I just added the 'ghost cars' in the background... ??

Sold @ Langdon's 125th Celebration

"There Goes the Neighborhood" revisited SOLD




Another winter day and another older painting hit the dust.. I decided to use the matt and frame off this work for a newer painting.. I have shown this painting at shows, sales, etc, for about 4 years........ i splashed some purple on the sky (it was pale blue) and wah lah, it has some zip.. Now I have go out and buy another frame and matt.. so it goes. I enjoyed it..
