Moved into town Sold at G4 10-2-23

 What can i say?  Title tells it all.  I used a photo i took of a deserted house in the 80's. i knew the family that lived there, in fact i dreamt about them the night after i painted this.  how weird is that?, Also, how weird am I? 

What the Shell?? changed to "Waddling in the Water"

#3 of my 10x10 s..   i painted this turtle a couple of years ago, mostly yellow and green, if i remember right. I love this and how it looks like a quilt.  bought some nice 10x10 frames at Michael's yesterday. 

   I know, weird subject matter, but it IS subject matter.  

2-24   took this painting to Cormorant to be exhibited in D.L. in a poetry inspired show.    

5-23-24   when it was returned, i couldn't believe how ugly the pink background was.  Got out my favorite Cobalt Blue and went at it with vigor.   on World Turtle Day, no less.

Twisted Lilies or "Up Close and Floral"

9-1-23  I guess this painting needed more work, since it was rejected from a show at the mall that had "color" in it's theme title..  dah  .  i had fun adding and subtracting some color and adding some tiny dots.  

Never liked this painting so when i brought it home, i added some purple, wouldn't any one??  ha

so much better

 Another 10"x 10" work.  i used a photo i took looking down on the flowers that my hubby took care of.  I am not gardener, i repeat, i am not a gardener.  Also, my signatures are always a bit off kilter, maybe that is my signature.  

The Bull in Bullfrog

6-24  Once again i needed to change background.  wow,  also,  he needed nostrils.  

'' Always Something'' (my favorite saying)

 i bought some 10x10 canvas boards, painted them bright colors, now what!!!   I've painted this frog before. Loved using secondary colors. Rock  is painted mostly with palette knife.  Painting is much brighter than photo.
