Redheads Have More Fun

I had sketched and painted this image of my granddaughter about 20+ years ago. I so loved the ambiance it presented : Carefree, Young, Great Hair!!!! So I painted it again.
 I put a background into this one, but when i added the green, the shoes vanished..  Had to darken the green alot by using more blue pigment, to bring the feet forward and important. yes!

Art Medium Variety


 I painted these 3 works in one week.  Swing girl is Watercolor, Out Behind the Barn is Acrylic and the funny fat bird is Colored Pencil .. We explored colored pencil at HAGS group, i kinda forgot about using them.  It's all about the paper, of course.

     This huge sign was on the outside of the auditorium where my show was on exhibit. I get to keep it.

out behind the barn


 The Hjemkomst group is planning to hang cloud paintings in our window display spot at the museum.  Painted this last night. I love that weird old brush i have that has a rounded thick bristle tip on it..

 Once again, my made up barn wins the lottery. It's Acrylic, yay!

Dry Spell Sold at Touchmark 9-24-25

 

I painted this about 6 years ago. I painted the sky and field at a workshop in Cormorant, but when i got home i knew "it needs buildings".  It is watercolor but the house and barn are done in acrylic.  I just found out that it sold at my show today and it wasn't on my blog. Can't have that!!!   so I searched my photos til i found a photo.  i'm gleeful.  

oops, I found this painting posted in 2018.  oh well, the more time, the merrier, they say.  What??

Where is Everyone?

Oh  i love how this turned out.  I started to cover this free canvas (thanks Sherri)  with red and cobalt .  it  looked like the beloved Pacific ocean to me.  I spent many hours looking through my photos of gulls. 

 I have it hanging in my office where the walls are a rusty color.  WOW.

slippery boots Gifted


 i won a couple of Gesso Panels at a RRWS tea party.  This one is 6x6 and VERY smooth. The acrylic paint seemed to be slippery, hence the title.  Yes, i've painted these kickers b/4.
