Gary's folks

This is a watercolor commission for an artist friend. The photo reference he sent me was great, taken in early '40s when photos were clear in black & white. I enjoyed doing it.

Getting Bling Ready SOLD

Was asked to exhibit my stuff in the Bling Showcase this weekend.  My farm themed work is what I love, but I painted this for fun. We will see how that will work for me..

this painting was a little "too pink"  I dabbled with the background, it helped, I think.
