Curb Appeal (and some history)



   I took the photo of the cans in the 80's in Langdon, Painted the acrylic version in the "00s (my niece Tanya Scully owns it), I did the pencil sketch last week and then painted it in watercolor yesterday. Photo is a little dull.  Not sure if the tree needs more attention and maybe more branches.  Fun to revisit my work from long ago.

flowers from neighbor

I brought this home from G4 and changed the colors of the tulips.   wow  made a difference, Haven't painted with much purple hues lately .. happy spring finally.   



My neighbor Joe, brought these beautiful lilies over.  I have wanted to paint that crazy vase that i saw somewhere, so i put Joe's flowers in it.  Background was stamped and smeared a while ago.

No Float


 I painted this 8x10 acrylic today while my son-in-law took my car to the shop.  He is the best.  ANYWAY, i found the pencil sketch i had done many years ago and had painted in W/C. {it is hanging at my son's home in Oregon.}  This was fun 'cause i had painted the canvas orange with "left over" paint from my last project and wah-la, it worked.
