"Fiddling around in the Garage"

I signed up to do a demo at G4 during the cocoa/coffee crawl.   I sketched this from a painting i did in oil about 50 years ago.  Neighbor, Frank, playing the fiddle at my folks 25th Ann. party in the garage.  The right side of painting is made-up thinking about our (Carl's) garage.  I especially loved the light bulb and his overalls.  tells a story of the times.  

Sippy Straw

 March Theme at G4 is Mardi Gras .. Need i say more?  Yes, it is meant to be her mask ,, not her face.   Oh I had fun painting those "feathery shapes."  Yes, it's been a long winter. 

Let's Create

 Entered the Square Foot show in Bismarck again.  This is one.. Acrylic. Weird.  love the tubes.  

"The Dog Ate It "

 The color is way off on this..  anyway, i used one of my Mom's doilies to make the pattern after i applied thick acrylic on canvas.   i then used a roller to press the doily into the pigment.  Our theme for Feb is Puzzles.. wha laa    

view theme

 matching frames, sorta,  I'm anxious to hang these as a group at G4 for month of Feb.  we'll see how that works for me.   ha..  

Door View

 This painting is to fit in the really old 9x12 barn wood frame .  the color of the walls closely matches the color of the frame..  Gee, i love the feeling of this one..   

Deck View

 I "found" 2 more old old barn wood frames in my possession ..  wish i could remember where i got them or if some one made them.  they are from the 70's.  i painted this one to fit in the 8x10 frame.  i have the view theme going ..   

Thank God It's Fry-day

 I love these 8x8 canvas boards..  I covered my "Sail Away" painting with this.  I had read a bio of an artist that said his girl friend fried an egg everyday and would paint it.  my first thought was HE should be cooking and she should be painting..  that's how my brain works. 

 ANYWAY, i got an air fryer for christmas and am doing hash browns in it..  topping them with easy-over eggs.. wah la..
