"Where have all the flowers gone?"

I started this in a workshop last summer.. i added all the little flower shapes and will frame it in a "round" matt i found @ a garage sale.. should appear to be more "decorative" .. MAYBE>>>>>>

Boats in a Row sold

I had drawn these a couple of times and used them in a painting.. But when i got together to paint with some art friends, i grabbed this paper that had Gel Medium on it (who knows when i did that) and the watercolor just slid around and made its own puddles, etc..... love it.

This SOLD @ the Pekin Art Show.. 6-13..  so it goes... 

Still Life w Twigs

I was asked to donate a painting to a worthy cause, so I dug out some older paintings.. loved parts of this but the coffee can was really poorly done.. i got out the acrylic paints and googled "old Folger's coffee cans", redrew it, painted it and am now happy with it.. i have many more oldies to look at this winter but winter is so lovely this year, it is zipping by.

"As The Crow Says"

The Spirit Room in Fargo is having their bi-annual Crow Show this year. I had this idea last year but didn't do it. This year, as i was cleaning my studio, i found this portrait i painted probably 15 years ago.. i added the crow whispering to her.. The title is kinda a spoof on the section our local newspaper added a few months ago ( that met with a lot of controversy):: "She Says":: "Crow Says?? get it??

"Kinda Ugly Little Snow Angels"

Here is the other one.. fun to do...

"on the wagon"

Just remembered that i did paint a couple of original Christmas cards for exchanges @ my painting groups.. This is one of them.

"no art" time ..

I just looked @ my blog and it seems i haven't posted anything for 2 months... gee whiz.
We did drive to Portland, OR for most of the month of November. December flew by so fast and it is Christmas this week.. I do have 4 painting on exhibit @ One Oak Place here in Fargo, den. I will get busy in January, promise, for sure.. Thanks for looking.
