Three 8" X 8" Van Goghs #3 sold at G4

 


 Painted these to decorate a dinner table at the "Art Over Dinner" event at Cormorant Village this week. It was so fun.  and I'm sure the dinner will be as much fun.  A great group of artist, eating, drinking and talking smart art, how can it not be?  
Our Starry Starry Night table was so cool.  The dinner, live music and speaker were all excellent.  As was the company we had at our table.  Thanks Donna, Paula and Vicki for such s fun evening.

Wall Flower



 Someone gave me this frame back cause they reframed a painting of mine.  it is 8x10.  I tried making background look like wallpaper,  remember wallpaper??? .  It is Acrylic.  Plus to painting florals: can't really make a boo boo.

Hat Check changed title to "Chunky Chair w Hats"

7-17-25  WOW,  what an improvement.  I brought this painting home from G4 and knew it needed some work done.  ha.  I had loved the red background but it seemed too loud.  I mixed up several purples and slapped them on. This is what i love about acrylics. 


 Since i have been looking at Van Gogh's art, and the yellow chair seemed to have entered my psyche and i had this canvas with the checkered pattern, i painted this yesterday.  a bit off beat but SO fun.  Using some of my bright pigments as usual.

2 Boats and a Bird 9-16-24 SOLD at G4 today


 I seem to have fallen in love with my Phthalo Blue Acrylic Paint, mixed with white it's so lovely.  Covered this 11x14 canvas with it.   Googled some boats and sketched the tippy one off a photo. Loved it, added other one, some rocks and a gull to show that the water is shallow.   That's my story and i'm sticking to it. 
This proves that where you photograph a piece of art effects outcome.  This one taken in my studio by south window on cloudy day.  Top one outside on North side of house..   spooky.

Salsa and Friends


What happens when i get bored.  I looked thru some old sketch books, found a little watercolor I did at Mexican Village years ago. and i redid it in Acrylic.  Of course my canvas was already painted cobalt.  ANYWAY, i spent most of the time painting the  nacho chips. They looked like tater tots and I couldn't have that. ..

Green House Over There 12-3-24 Sold to neighbor, Kayla.


 This is a 8x8 acrylic that i painted one afternoon, as i was waiting for out of town company.  I just looked out my studio window and painted the window across the street and the door is from another neighbor's house.  I had fun playing with the greens, and the rocks..
