Shop until U Drop --sold



I also started this painting @ the workshop. I have painted these gals before.. love the body language.. looking @ jewelry,I imagine. I would never go out shopping with orange pants and a lime green shirt but the colors are OK in a painting... i hope....... 4/15: I brightened up the colors on this one. Added a little "gold" paint.

Cormorant workshop Gifted



I spent the last 3 days attending a great workshop with my new and old friends @ Cormorant Village in the "lake country" of Minnesota. Instructor was David Rickert from Staples MN. As usual, I had a fun time, painting, eating and talking art. This is one of the paintings I finished using watercolor and an old photo i took on a trip to Alaska.. it needs to have a snappy title.

Just got a hankerin' to do some more small car paintings.. i think i took this photo in Langdon a long time ago.. i graduated from Hi school in '55.. That was a great era... shiny cars and rock and roll.......

Go West, Young Cowboy!! SOLD at Gallery 4 7-19



This is done in Acrylic on watercolor board that was coated with GOLD gesso.. what fun. Some of the gold shows thru. I had sketched this little cowboy a long time ago.. not sure what my source was but i loved his stance. Background is made up out of my memory of the southwest, plus i had squirted out some "Brilliant Purple" by mistake and HAD to use it..
I painted in more shadows and tried to make his hands more believable
.alway improvements to be made ..
