More leaves Sold

Leaves i picked up in Tualatin, Oregon, as i walked about the neighborhood and didn't take the dog (Sophie) with me.  Does that make me a bad person?????

They made me walk...

When I got to Oregon in Nov, the leaves were so beautiful and colorful.. i picked them up, brought them to Wade's house, then painted them, sort of. Wow

"Come along home now" Sold

I was lucky to be able to spend 3 winter months in Oregon again this year.  I did take some art supplies along.  I added watercolor to this pencil drawing i had done before.. It was in my sketch book.. I dearly love it.  signed it yesterday and of course  the signature is crooked.. geez.

Edna and Edwin's Chickens

My dear 100 year old Aunt moved into the nursing home and returned this painting to me. I painted it in 1990.. and gave it to them for their anniversary..  i must have just learned to use "salt" for texture.  Not sure why i had the rooster and chick cuddling so close together..    it was the 90's after all...

Front Row Seat SOLD @ Pekin Show

Watched a video about "granulation" of paints, adding wet pigment over wet pigment and letting them mingle .. dah..  the sky on this is the result of a lot of mingling.. i had the rest  of the painting drawn out so I went for it..   reference was a photo I took a long time ago at a music/art fest.

What is there about a red truck???? Gifted

another small acrylic, using a photo i took in my home town. the original truck was black and yellow, for some reason. i so love drawing and painting older vehicles. Maybe 'cause i learned to drive in really older vehicles of my "time".  i used my palette knife to get some of the colors where you wouldn't expect them to be.

Music Camp gifted.. who knows where it is now...

I was looking at photos from my son's river trip with his cousins and friend that happened last summer. .this pose caught my eye.. I did ask permission from the photographer. ..gee, she said yes.
I sketched it first and did my magic on watercolor paper...
