share to paint Tulips SOLD

RRWS sponsored a new workshop.. For those of us that paint and love it, we had an opportunity to bring a friend and let them share our supplies. We all painted tulips of sorts.  It was really fun.

"Back Yard, Small Town" gifted

I scrubbed an old workshop demo off this watercolor paper and Icould visualize some buildings.. The clothes line was a bonus.  i used mostly my Qinacridone paints for my warm oranges and golds. They are wonderfully glossy and transparent. The old building on the left reminded me of the old garages folks had in their back yards, usually housing an antique car or truck.

cropped and re done..  why not???

In a Van Gogh Zone SOLD

I have posted this painting 3 times.. i love it but it needed some more done. (posted April 12 2010) I added "starry, starry night" emblems to a darker sky.  Whenever i remove an older painting out of it's frame and mat, i get the urge to redo it.  or remodel it. or update it. whatever, huh???  Sold @ FMVA Big Art Show

Lone Truck # 2 SOLD

A friend gave me a sheet of hand made paper which was quite thick and had alot of texture. I also got a new watercolor brush.. this is the result of my 2 new entities... 

Seems the blog people are changing things again...

Sold 12-13 @ Holly Jolly Show

    This week i hung 11 paintings @ the 7-day clinic, here in Fargo, then.  My daughter, Beth, works there and the walls were bare ( except for some ugly hobby lobby brown things)... nasty..  anyway, they look cool there and i hope the patients and nurses appreciate them.  I also entered the Women's Perspective Art Show with my painting "Play with the Big Boys".. the theme of the show is Ritual, so i changed the title to "The Ritual of Pinochle".. My painting was "mentioned" in the Forum write-up yesterday.. that is something.

"Done Farming" GIFTED

I painted this during last weekend's blizzard. Maybe the weather effects my mood in a painting, I'm not so sure.  Reference for this was a photo i took @ our farm, I think, the day my parents moved "to town".  Dad's tractor looked quite lonely out back among the many trees that my Dad planted over the years.  Memories..

Mellow Cello Music SOLD

I went to the Symphony last week and while enjoying the music i noticed that all the musicians wear "black".. Each black had a different hue or color, I found that interesting and, of course, it stayed in my mind.. I love the shape and color of the cello so .. wah, lah, i make up the strange little folks doing their music thing.  I love this Watercolor

SOLD @ Edgewood Vista 5-14
