Remember -ing

Hi followers o mine,  I've been really "art-lazy" this year. I spent 2 delightful months in oregon visiting my family. .  Did no art.
. I drew this since I'm home, not to paint, but to practice my drawing.  I had cut this photo out of the newspaper and saved it 'cause it tells a story. She had lost her hubbie in a farm accident, and she was looking out over the barn yard.. touching..

The Bling Buffet Merit award @ Hawley Art Show 4-17.. whee!!!

Oh, my, I enjoyed painting this. I took some photos @ the Bling Show I was in and used them as references.   As usual, I love painting body language of folks in our world,( unless they are carrying assault weapons, of course.......)

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.

our art group have been listening to Barb N lately as she has done classes & demos of landscapes and the importance of values.  This is a watercolor I did this week, using a photo that my son, Matt took while visiting his bro, Mikey. .I used that neutral tint watercolor pigment again. .love it..
