Workshop

Just finished a week long workshop in Moorhead..It was so fun.. My pal, Bobbie, stayed with us and also attended the class. We knew most of the artists in the class and that was fun and familiar. Our instructor was Marilyn Hughey Phillis from Wheeling WV.. She was a delightful lady who had us do several exercises that we hadn't done b/4.. all attempting to get us to "think and feel" our work. and not to paint to sell or satisfy others.. we will see!!!!!!!
"Abstract Art being our goal" enjoyed it and actually have no work to post..

Iris with Dots

The 3rd of my "square format" paintings.. what fun, altho this one started out to be a rusty color which looked a little like poop.. covered it with violet mixture.. ah, better. May have gotten carried away with the dot thing, but if you know me, i would paint eyelashes on an ant.......

Sunshine

this is my 2nd try @ the iris'.. white is a challange but the pink hairy "tongues" sticking out of the white flower was unresistable to me. these paintings are 8"x 8"

Curvy and Delicious

Hubbie, Carl planted over 50 iris bulbs last summer that he ordered from "Gene in Pekin".. They are SO beautiful, i am going to try to capture them in Acrylic on those square wrapped canvas' i have coveted in the art stores. i drew the flower in the contour manner.. which made them more curvy and delicious... fun.......
