If Frida was from Fargo SOLD @ G4 5-11-23

Fun project for a show by the Cormorant Art Group.  Faux Show.  This is my entry. Have so enjoyed hearing, reading and learning about Frida Kahlo, since I saw the movie about her about 20 years ago.  Her self portraits are stunning and i noticed her jewelry were sometimes depicted as ravens or wild looking animals, hence the "bison" images... tee hee.

Tissue Farm New title: "Drive-by Farm" Sold in Pekin '22


We watched a U tube video on painting skies...   i formed the clouds using heavy pigment and the handy Kleenex tissues..  Farm is from a photo i took out of the car window long time ago, somewhere in Minnesota, den....   I  Love watercolor ! 
9-25-21  Really got tired of the pale sky on this painting.  I took it out of frame and WHAM -- added a lot of Ultramarine Blue, magenta and yellows and then darkened some of the foreground. 
"What a Difference a Blue Day Makes"..  that's a song, isn't it???  ..
