    This week i hung 11 paintings @ the 7-day clinic, here in Fargo, then.  My daughter, Beth, works there and the walls were bare ( except for some ugly hobby lobby brown things)... nasty..  anyway, they look cool there and i hope the patients and nurses appreciate them.  I also entered the Women's Perspective Art Show with my painting "Play with the Big Boys".. the theme of the show is Ritual, so i changed the title to "The Ritual of Pinochle".. My painting was "mentioned" in the Forum write-up yesterday.. that is something.

"Done Farming" GIFTED

I painted this during last weekend's blizzard. Maybe the weather effects my mood in a painting, I'm not so sure.  Reference for this was a photo i took @ our farm, I think, the day my parents moved "to town".  Dad's tractor looked quite lonely out back among the many trees that my Dad planted over the years.  Memories..

Mellow Cello Music SOLD

I went to the Symphony last week and while enjoying the music i noticed that all the musicians wear "black".. Each black had a different hue or color, I found that interesting and, of course, it stayed in my mind.. I love the shape and color of the cello so .. wah, lah, i make up the strange little folks doing their music thing.  I love this Watercolor
SOLD @ Edgewood Vista 5-14

Prairie Road SOLD

This is a different genre of painting for me.  I saw a photo of a grove of trees blowing in the wind and it brought back memories of a prairie road that ran beside our childhood farm.  I am sure the trees are gone now and this depicts the demise of another memory of my younger days "on the farm"... It is watercolor on watercolor board with a rough finish that can be wiped off, if so desired....
