Gnome with grass and weeds

 

this is weird...  i painted this gnome a couple of years ago, during my gnome period..  Showed it around in shows, and at G4..   ANYWAY, today i added the grass and the weed.  Since he already had the mushroom..   He is probably high.   teehee.  

Casino Gals with new frame

 Brought this favorite watercolor out of hiding .. the frame was white and kinda ugly.  I mixed up some acrylic to match some of the greens in the painting and went for it.  .  I know i have always insisted that the frame doesn't count in the scheme of things, but this was fun. 

Nova Scotia-esque

Our theme for Feb at G4 is Bucket List.  Since my bucket list has a hole in the bottom, i chose Nova Scotia because it's been on Carl and my list forever and we didn't get there.  i googled a lot of paintings and photos of NS and sketched some of the buildings and boats that apparently are in Peggy's Cove.  Love the primary colors.  
 photo isn't very good 'cause i framed it b/4 i took the photo..   FORGETFUL is the word of the day..  

Storm Clouds Pending Sold at BAGA, Bismarck

 Another square foot entry for Bismarck Show in May. Used a couple of my cloud photos as reference.  I had used the 1/2 barn idea before.  this is acrylic and kinda startling.   

Off the grid 1-22-24 Changed to "Outside Looking In"

9-1-24  I never liked the window in this painting. I messed with it this weekend and still not sure if it tells a story.  It is irritating that the photos always look different, when nothing else was changed.  oh well. except the cup turned blue.

 Acrylic painting for the square foot show in Bismarck this spring.  what can i say?  used a photo i took in Alaska many years ago.  no internet there, then..  

    Photo is quite pale.  too cold to go outside to retake photo..  BRR
