Kiss my Owie

 My great granddaughter!  I could not resist painting this image in watercolor.  i entered it in the RRWS show, we will see how that goes.  I painted a reddened area on her hand and it was accidently heart shaped.  What does that mean??  

Peek at the Pacific 12-25 Gifted to my daughter in law

 Using a photo i took in Oregon driving on hwy 1.  i liked how turquoise-y the water was.  this photo does nothing to enhance the painting.  it is acrylic.  photo sucks.  I'll try another day.  

Gullible

5-3-26  Boy did that ever improve my Gullible Guy.  Had planned to put boats in background but my artsy instincts won out.  Love the Quin Violet  i used for back ground land mass. Clouds also helped. 

 My other entry for the Square Foot show in Bismarck.  Used a photo i took on one of our trips to west coast.  the photo had many fancy boats in the background. We were at a restaurant and i remember being concerned about birds pooping on my fish and chips..

I signed up to do a demo at G4 during the cocoa/coffee crawl.   I sketched this from a painting i did in oil about 50 years ago.  Neighbor, Frank, playing the fiddle at my folks 25th Ann. party in the garage.  The right side of painting is made-up thinking about our (Carl's) garage.  I especially loved the light bulb and his overalls.  tells a story of the times.
