Garden Guy SOLD in Langdon....

Ok, i hope i'm the only one that notices old paintings getting "add ons"  This painting had a John Deere tractor thingy in the lower left corner..  I just wanted to paint my loose sunflowers somewhere.  Gives it a whole different vibe, for sure. 

Lakeside Sold at Gallery4 8-21

oh yes, i'm in the "redoing" phase again..  i changed the background on this and made it more Lakey...  Didn't like the fence and greenery ..
Yes, this feels good.    we are getting tons of snow again today..  I WANT to sit in those chairs, by the lake..

Suggestion from a dear friend to "get rid of the plant"..  SO i did..  much better and can i count this as a "new" painting??    i think so. 

3rd Floor Rental Sold in Langdon

Hi art lovers, I am back in my home base.. have several shows coming up.. BUT, geez, my friend, Sharon, gave me a free frame! .. also I'm cutting up some old watercolors (painted b/4 2009) .  This fun one is painted over the bottom 1/2 of the "Pastry Shoppe" painting, {posted April 26, 1013} which I really loved but I have only so many nails in my little house to hang favorites....  ha..
  I will be exhibiting at Edgewood Vista the month of April.. and in the Hawley MN show in 2 weeks.. and in the garden show at the Red Door Gallery in Wahpeton, ND and the FMVA  Big Show in Moorhead...   whew...

Sneakers

Saw this hanging in my son's house. I painted it in the 80's in oil..several relatives have similar paintings..my "shoe period"..

My brother Jack texted me a photo of HIS shoe painting .. also painted in the early 80's..  Old tennys, as we called them then, had a lot more character than the fancy ones now..  what fun to see.

I painted this 20 years ago. It was a gift to my nephew, who lives in Seattle. Last week I visited him and his family. .This was hanging in guest room..fun to see..ALSO, they took me to the Andrew Wyeth exhibit. It was a hightlight, for sure..

I enjoyed exhibiting in the FMVA Holiday Show last weekend.  My daughter and son in law helped immensely with setting up and taking down... Could have used more art lover/customers on Sunday but Saturday was successful.   loved being there with  other artists..
