Shopping on "vaca" with husband sold

I painted this about 20 years ago. I took the reference photo when we were in Hawaii at our son's wedding. (That is how i remember it was 20 years ago.)  She so wanted to buy some jewelry and he seemed to be against the transaction.
 As usual, my favorite subject is "body language"and telling a story.

This old artist is in a gallery.. whee

Excited.. i became a supporting member of Gallery 4, downtown Fargo today. They are in a new location and will be getting alot of promoting and attention, i hope>   The gallery has been active for 35 years or so, as a co-op.   My greeting cards are special, as i use images from my past paintings, print them myself and give them quirky titles. 
   If you are in Fargo or visiting Fargo, Gallery 4 is at 115 Roberts St N. just a block off Broadway, where they say all the action is.. Stop in.

My wonderful daughter gave me an assortment of square canvas boards for Christmas. Fun times ahead!.  I will be displaying small pieces of art in a local gallery.. this is 8" X 8".. Background looks scratchy, hence the title.  Ya!
Yes, i used "my" sketch from another painting..

"Leaf me alone"

This was painted last year when i was in Oregon, I had picked up these beautiful leaves on one of my  rare walks.  Yesterday, I made it a little whimsical by adding those little whirl-y scribble-y things.

Ristorante 1993

This painting from 1993 is hanging at my son's home in Oregon.  I photographed it and thought i'd post it here.  My kids have many of my paintings in their homes. It is like visiting my old friends when i see them. I know, that is a little sappy.

Two Bowls, Two Cuties

Well, I'm back in ND. Many inches of snow fell yesterday, i felt like painting, needed subject metter... these are my bowls in my kitchen..  Acrylic with lots of texture. I used a back scratcher, stiff worn out brushes, stiff-ish paint to achieve it. Used only 4 colors plus white.  love doing that.   Almost added a curtain, but i'm not in a lace curtain kind of mood............. 

Painted a little bit all 3 have been sold or gifted

I was able to spend 2 months in Oregon with my sons and their families.. As usual, i had a wonderful time, weekends at the ocean, eating out, teasing and being teased by grandchildren, going to movies, and a little painting.  I only took along a few watercolors and a tablet.. These are repeats of older paintings, kinda, as i remember them..  Back home now and golly it is cold and snow is piled up everywhere..
Rooster was a birthday gift to my daughter-in-law's bestie.
