Garden Commission done

I painted this for a friend of my son, Matt, who is from Portland OR.  It was fun, especially loved the funky pots and vases.  As you who know me, flowers are not my strong suit, but this is colorful and he liked it.  One month ago today, my sweet hubbie, Carl, passed away and i'm not sure about my future "art" life..  I did attend a painting weekend with my friends and it helped...  will post things soon from it.. 

"Little Wranglers w Large Hats"

I haven't painted for 2 months.. i just painted these 3 acrylics from a sketch i had done a while ago.. Is it a Series? a Triptych? a Trio? the colors match my Pendelton blanket which is kinda weird.

Red River Fine Art Show.. extraordinaire..

I so enjoyed exhibiting my art in our first Fine ARt Show @ the Moorhead Center Mall, last week.

Her Doll, My Doll Gifted to Janice's granddaughter, Lauren..

I started this painting after being @ a meeting in Cormorant Village, and before my hubbie of 53 years,became ill. Life has drastically changed for us. I did finish it and posted it on my blog. I may not be doing much painting now. I am exhibiting in an Art show this week with the help of friends and family.

Yes, this painting needed help. Like my daughter said, " that doll looks like she was on chemo".. SO I put a bonnet on her, lightened the background wallpaper design. .also, changed Raggedy Ann's dress color..so much better..

Fargo Forum Feature

This has been a very weird week. My husband has not been well, family was home and gathering around, which was wonderful.  Then on Saturday the article about the art gallery in Edgewood Vista was in the local paper featuring none other than me..  nice article and photo.. the interview was a couple of weeks ago... 

Scooter Trail SOLD

This Acrylic painting is larger than I usually paint.. 18" x 24"..stretched canvas.. ( someone must have given it to me)..  I started by painting it with hunter green and some orange splashed on.. i sat a looked at if for awhile ( like the abstract artists do)  then went ahead and painted a trail, trees and 2 scooters..  no mystery there!!

FM Art Marathon idea...

About 2 o'clock this afternoon, i got an idea to paint running shoes on brown paper, cut them out, go to the Moorhead Center Mall and taped them to the paper walls...  Saturday morning thousands of marathon runners will gather there.. imagine.. and it is thundering right now..
