Winter Project SOLD




I know, I know, no one wants to see snow again for a l-o-n-g time... i used a photo i took @ Elim nursing home when i was there hanging my show .. and the snow outside the window is what pulled me into the scene ... there was a bouquet of "funeral flowers" on the sewing machine but i thought a quilt was more appealing..


This is watercolor on gesso-ed watercolor paper. A different surface to work with...

SOLD

"Who Invited Her?"



I enjoyed drawing these pretentious gals in pencil.. i used a photo i had cut out of the newspaper years ago.. i have many titles going around in my head: "Church Ladies" "Need a 4th for Bridge!!" "Who told her she could wear that??" "The Clique"...

We are having a mini-art display @ the Hjemkomst Center using just black and white medium, and this is my contribution.

Foolish Follage SOLD


I did this acrylic "drip trees" painting at the workshop last week.. i kinda like it.. it has been done many, many times (not by me). it is a fun exercise in looseness..

We are getting more snow tonight.. i know that had nothing to do with my blog theme, i just felt that i should share..
