Flower Lady on a Bike SOLD

I added the figure on the bike to this painting last week.  It is a painting that i cut down.  I like it better and like adding life to it. Flowers are nice but humans are better... ha.   the painting is watercolor and the figure is painted with Acrylic. i was pleased with the colors..

Finger Flowers SOLD

I painted this after a workshop in 2006. I painted it in Acrylics and used my fingers to paint the flowers.  Last week I reframed it and took it to the Holly Jolly show and a new friend from my book club bought it for her new apartment.  thrilled as i always loved it.                SOLD

A " Must See " SOLD

I have seen the term "A Must See" in the real estate ads..  perfect title for this.  I have done this house in several mediums before and did it yesterday in Acrylic.  Took the photo outside of Medford, OR. a long time ago .. the photo had a mountain in the background.. not a background for a flatlander.. Wheat field much more appropriate..

"How much is that Glass Thing in the Window??"

I don't think i ever posted this.. i painted it a couple of years ago and today i repainted the red, white, blue and green glass thingies. I painted this from a photo i took in Lincoln City OR, just down the street from Matt's condo @ a glass blowing studio.  I added the couple of shoppers and thought it was rather humorous. Have had a lot of comments on this painting.  Personally, i love it....  Acrylic on canvas..  In 2018 repainted and sold...

2013 Christmas exchange cards..

Time flies and it is time to paint little ditties for the card exchange that we do @ our Christmas meetings..  I have one more to paint. The Watercolor Soc and the Hjemkomst Art Group parties are soon.  These are Acrylic on "scrap" hunks of watercolor paper.. fun times...........

struttin' rooster SOLD @ RRFAS 2014

Painted this from a photo i took in Hawaii a few years ago. I am painting some "new stuff" for our Holly Jolly Christmas art sale/show next week.  Hope folks come and buy some presents for their Cool Friends.. dream on, right????   Anyway, this was fun.  I am enjoying my Acrylics again.  He looks good enough to eat, right??
