I,m here, @ Bobbie's house

We are on our last leg of our adventure.. just got to Lake Havasu City today.. have had great visits with old friends and with my 93 year old auntie ... weather is so beautiful and warm.. We are hoping to be able to meet up with our son, Mike, on our way back to cold, cold Fargo..
Have not painted a stroke or drawn a line on this trip.. have taken a few photos.. this is the first time I have even seen a computer since we left 2 weeks ago.. will check in later..

Tulips in a Ball Jar V SOLD

OK, i didn't really like the "Just a Barn" painting very much.. i scrubbed the paint off and had some faint images and color left on the paper.. I have painted these tulips b/4, many years ago (I have been painting for a l-o-n-g time).

I really like the background shapes and colors..
SOLD @ cork and canvas event 5-13

"Buffet Broads" sold 10-'15

This is taken from a photo i took at our "RRWS picnic with hats" this summer.

On the photo there were potato chip sacks and tupperware thingys.. i made up the buffet items and was hungry afterwards.

3/2014.. I revisited this painting and worked on the background and cropped it some.. replaced the photo.. tried, anyway..

"Lookin' her over" revisited DONATED

Once again, i am redoing older paintings.. a fun pastime for us "snow stayers".. the original painting was posted in Oct '09--

I "wiped out" 3 figures, added a 1/2 hidden old car and put tops on the gas pumps.. Carl told me they needed to have those circle tops on and he told me size, color and all i needed to know about them.. I also added more color in some areas.. Love those cars............. Donated to Pekin fundraiser

"Rust In Peace!" SOLD

I am still having a "love affair" with the old car photos my friend Margaret gave me. The car on the right is from the sketch i used as my Christmas card this year. Love the shadows that were on the car next to it.. As usual I have trouble with background.. but that seems to be the area my art friends like best . altho one "critic" asked if they were in a tent... Note: I just added the 'ghost cars' in the background... ??

Sold @ Langdon's 125th Celebration

"There Goes the Neighborhood" revisited SOLD

Another winter day and another older painting hit the dust.. I decided to use the matt and frame off this work for a newer painting.. I have shown this painting at shows, sales, etc, for about 4 years........ i splashed some purple on the sky (it was pale blue) and wah lah, it has some zip.. Now I have go out and buy another frame and matt.. so it goes. I enjoyed it..

9-13-11 SOLD to a previous owner of the home on the right......

"waiting for the rest of the band" revisited sold

4th day of "storm house arrest" i dug out this painting started in a workshop.. i really do enjoy revisiting older paintings.. adding, erasing, looking, wondering, moving, hoping for some success............. this was fun!!
