"As The Crow Says"

The Spirit Room in Fargo is having their bi-annual Crow Show this year. I had this idea last year but didn't do it. This year, as i was cleaning my studio, i found this portrait i painted probably 15 years ago.. i added the crow whispering to her.. The title is kinda a spoof on the section our local newspaper added a few months ago ( that met with a lot of controversy):: "She Says":: "Crow Says?? get it??

"Kinda Ugly Little Snow Angels"

Here is the other one.. fun to do...

"on the wagon"

Just remembered that i did paint a couple of original Christmas cards for exchanges @ my painting groups.. This is one of them.

"no art" time ..

I just looked @ my blog and it seems i haven't posted anything for 2 months... gee whiz.
We did drive to Portland, OR for most of the month of November. December flew by so fast and it is Christmas this week.. I do have 4 painting on exhibit @ One Oak Place here in Fargo, den. I will get busy in January, promise, for sure.. Thanks for looking.

Coneflowers on Gesso SOLD 3/15

I painted on this watercolor/gouache painting ALL day Sunday. I worked on an old piece of w/c paper that had medium on one side and splatters of gesso on the other.. Can't remember what workshop i had prepared this paper for.. The gesso was just on parts of the paper.. I attempted to paint on this paper @ the Park Rapids workshop, painting an ugly farm scene.. I washed it off and had an interesting background just waiting for me. I used a photo i had taken of Carl's cone flowers a couple of years ago. I added the 2 on the right of the painting to fill the page and they don't have the pazz-zazz the others do..Maybe they are from a different seed package.. who knows??

I added some Acrylic color to this painting.. mostly in the background.. trying to make it exciting.

"Winetester" SOLD

I was not happy with this painting... took it out of the frame and worked to make the "tester" more handsome and sleepy looking. Not happy with the title either.. Do love the orange inside the bar with the blue door frames, the red chairs, etc.

"Color Rules!!!" or is it "Colors Rule??"

SOLD @ my reception

Demo....

Oh, and Tuesday, I had the privilege of doing a "portrait painting" demo @ the Cormorant Art Club. Always fun to travel out there for an event.. fun group and fantastic meeting room.. I enjoyed, hope they did...
