'Pie for 2' #3 of my pastry series sold

 I'm not one who paints "series" works.  altho i have painted a lot of shoes, barns, folks, vehicles, chairs, birds, windows, doors, frogs, yada, yada, yada.   Theme for Nov at G4  is Bon Appetit so i may hang all 3.    Pie for 2 sold at G4

Yard Lights: 1954 7-25 SOLD at CAAC Show ( kinda emotional)

6-25  Had to add a blue pickup under the yard light. 

1-3-24  today I painted over that stupid road..  painting snow is kinda fun.  

8-'24   since i'm in the "fix old paintings" mood, i just had to add a moon plus a bit of more shadowing.  Chgd title to plural lighting.  Oh ya. 

Wow  a trip down memory lane. This image was painted straight from my memory bank.  When boyfriend, Carl, (later, husband) and I would sit in the car "probably necking" a little, the yard light would come on. There were no sensors or automatic lights at that time. Just watchful Parents. 

 In fact, we didn't have electricity 'til the '50s.   

 

Fauve Bird 8-'24 sold at G4

 At our HAGS meeting we watched a video about the Fauve Art Era.  Matisse and his buddies painted with bright unrelated colors.  Brave at that time (early 1900's) Since i had paint and a canvas left over from my Family art project, I did this yesterday.  Acrylic. 

The ROXY commission

 I was commissioned by a friend of my son, Matt, to paint the Roxy, kinda like it was in the 80's.  Not many photos of it but i had painted it 3X in the early 90's, so those paintings were my go-to material.  I personally love the lavender colored sidewalk. 

 Memories, esp. seeing Bambi as a kid.. never will forget the gunshot..  

"It's a cape, not an apron"

1-30-24      Bored today..  added an acrylic playground and a lake to this dull watercolor. will have to have a matt cut special to show the trees ..  geez... 

Now it is a " Mixed Media" work.

Next months theme at G4 is "super heroes "  ..  I think MOMS are super heroes in our society.  Especially  young mothers with jobs, goals, and ambition.   I took a snap of a neighbor as she walked by, (I did ask her permission).  It is watercolor.    Grandson, Sam, thought i should call it Cap-ron ,, you know, Cape + Apron?? 

Young and Older. Gone painted over it.. whatever

I painted this young cowboy a long time ago.. He always looked older than i wanted.  Well, Acrylics aged him .. Love the white beard, had to enlarge his hands and shoulders but it worked.

  This happens when i run out of ideas.   

 

Chicken in the Woodpile

 I took a colored pencil class a couple of weeks ago.  Hadn't used my pencils in years.  With the right paper and a few tips, i think i might try some more.. so fun to layer and blend..
