Cold Day @ the Coast Donated to a friend's fundraising event.

Donated to LLS

• I cut one of the paintings I did @ the Calvin's workshop.. I liked the sky, added more white to it.. Added the figures and they remind me of my grand kids frolicking on the beach in Oregon.

Walk the dog? Drink the wine? Ride the Bike? SOLD

Sold to Tanya.... 

Once again, my nieces and nephews seem to have the ability to take great photos that i want to paint. Loved this photo of my niece, Tara, and her sister's dog.  I painted the canvas bright orange and let a little of it show thru in places.  As i look at it now, the building in the reflection looks like a school bus..  good god..

Tree House Builder's Shoes GIFT

I am getting back to my Acrylic Paints.  My nephew, David, posted a photo of his retired work shoes on FB. I got permission to paint them as I have always loved painting foot wear, for some reason.  Background color was a dilemma so i went with all 3 color possibilities.  I got a little crazy following the laces around.

Early Morn @ the Lake Sold to Brita

I have painted these canoes a couple of times.. i think they are so neat. This is painted in Acrylic on a "Gallery" wrapped canvas.. i tried to paint morning fog but it looked a bit weird.  i don't think the red boat in the background is that red on the painting.. photographing acrlyic paintings is tricky.

Christmas on the Farm wedding gift

     Painted to fit a frame!!!!

I found this great antique frame in my closet and since we are having a "Christmas Art Show" and we are suppose to have some Festive Stuff in our show.. i always think of our farm out in the country with the "lights on the trees" that shined brightly from the highway..  This is painted in acrylic.

Jenna's Photo (commission )

I painted this commission over the weekend.. it was so darn cold outside and this is quite tropical feeling.  It is a request from my favorite little second cousin, Jenna, newly married.  I think she took this photo @ her sister's wedding last year and wanted me to paint it.. it was SO fun.  we didn't discuss a price, however.. eek.

Hawley MN paintout

9 of our Hjemkomst Art Group traveled 30 miles east to Hawley and had a paintout in the Blossoms Flower Shop there.  It was fun, lots of Christmasy and Halloweeny decorations around.  Excellent ginger cookies and hot cider to keep us focused. These are my little doo-dads that I painted.
