Show Off..

I'll be hanging 17 of my paintings at Edgewood Vista, here in Fargo, tomorrow afternoon..  they have a nice gallery area to feature creativity and enjoyment of the ARTS...  doesn't that sound appealing??  Stop by if you are in the area..

Little Wranglers 1 2 3

I painted on these all day yesterday, making them cuter with bigger eyes, adding more color, using a palette knife to add stuff to background and i even bought different frames for them.. Why do i keep doing this??  better than dusting, vacuuming and whatever folks do to keep busy................. OK, then.

Babushka, Baby.. sold in Pekin 2023

Had a great weekend at the Cormorant Area Art Club's annual art show last weekend.  I once again did a "demo" in watercolor.  Folks are not real interested but it adds to the "atmosphere of the cultural event in the Lake Country".   I had sketched this gal using a photo out of  an old yellowed  magazine.  I love the clothes line and clothes pin bag..  but the scarf seems to be more important now that it is done.
4/2018 Worked on this some more and cropped it alot when i framed it.. (cheap mats and frames, don't ya know)  Tells a story, I think.

Lauren is 1

Was invited to her b'day party yesterday.  She and her parents and her grandparents are very special to me so i thought she should have an original painting in her room, beside the NDSU stuff.....

I've been painting on this for a couple of years, trying to improve it. Reference is a photo I took in Carmel, CA. so long ago.  it has turned into a Mixed Media piece over time.  I may have posted it on this blog, i tried to find it, but failed.
As usual, i love it.  Refuse to title it "Reflections"..  tee hee.
5-28-18   This painting"bit the dust" this spring..  cut it in 1/2 and painted "Third Floor Rental" on the bottom half.. turned out rather neat, if i say so myself..
