Drinks Up 9-12-23 SOLD at G4 this week

 Girl Friend, Sherri, gave me this canvas already with orange and green background. I loved it and stared at it for several weeks..  Then the Fargo Monthly magazine came out with a list of bars and photos of their specialized drinks. It got me thinking about the shapes and colors of the "drinks" that weren't Miller Lite. 

 P.S. I haven't had a alcoholic drink for years.  Whatever, they say..  that changed this week, as well..

Rust in Peace 3-25 donated to Pekin Auction

3-22-24   I really wanted to add a background to this painting so i did.. ha.. and made the windows more believable but i kept the blue shadow.  Neither photo does it justice.  much brighter in person..   love Acrylics..  

 This is for the Square foot Show in Bismarck later this summer.  I used a sketch i did a long time ago. Wheels are a bit wonky but that is OK.  Color on photo is pale. 

I remember i put a wreath on the grill one year and used this image for Christmas cards. 

S'more Happiness 6-24 SOLD in Pekin

June, the theme at the Gallery is "happy Camper"..  i looked thru photos from our camping days back in the 70's - 80's.  remembered a photo of me drinking Boone's Farm right out of the bottle with a sun hat on.  horrible but would have been fun to work on.  ANYWAY, i went with this and i love it. 

 

Penguina (Spanish for this bird) baby Gift

Another baby shower in my home town, for my niece, Katy. ..  They requested books instead of cards and i found a bedtime story book with a penguin on cover and painted this to match. He is pretty cute.  Son, Mike, does surfing in Baja, Mex, and said a friend said he looked like a Penquina .  thought that was a great likeness..  

 

When I think Blues.. SOLD at the BDAC in Bismarck..

 I used a photo i took in New Orleans years ago as reference for this watercolor.  Used almost all my blue hues on this., I gave him flip-flops for some unknown reason. 

These shoes were made for workin' SOLD

 I  loosely painted these with watercolor. The photo i used was of my nephew's shoes, i think.  I was looking at Van Gogh paintings and if he could paint worn out brown shoes, so can I..  no need for A. I. 

Posted on FB and sold to a sweetie that went to school with my sons.  

Goat Mama Sold at CAAC show '24

 

Oh the color is so pale on this photo..  i found this image in my sketch book, Mama Goat and baby..  i think i painted this in Watercolor many years ago.   The colors i used are magic and DO NOT show up well here,  ugh.   another photo added, it is a little better.. ugh
