Beaching Sold at Cormorant Show in '25

 This painting was a result of a workshop i took a long time ago and i really loved.  My daughter-in-law regifted back to me.  They moved to a new home here in ND and have limited wall space.   so there ya go.  

"Carrie Bradshaw & Mr. Big"... won People's Choice award at Bonanzaville.. got it back from BV and sold at Gallery4 11-25-22

 A friend clued me in on an upcoming show to be held at Bonanzaville in West Fargo, this summer.  They provided the 11"x14"canvas  and hinted at a farm-ish theme ..  so here ya' go.  It was really fun to paint. 

 I have painted these goats b/4, kinda, and am always afraid they will look like dogs.  I painted the canvas red then used limited palette (again).

I changed the title..  i can do that..   at the show it will be titled..  "Goats and the City"  maybe.

10-22  got this painting back..  whew.  Bonanzaville did not ever have the auction or donation event that they said they were going to do.   happy me!!   

The Sunday Paper sold to Marla

 My cousin, Marla Rose, sent a photo of her grandfather, in a very 40's setting.  I absolutely loved the tea kettle, the phone, the dog dish, the tie and "jumper" he is wearing.  What's not to draw and paint ... This photo is a little pale . ..   People Matter.  

Fun Fishies 12/24 Donated to fm opera

 OK, did the T P technique again using Alizarin Crimson and Prussian Blue .  took a couple of days to decide what to add to it.. Some 'artists' just put the background out there and call it an  abstract .. not me..  WE NEED SUBJECT MATTER...   i have painted these guys a couple of times but these turned out almost mystical.  i only used 3 pigments plus white..   WHAT FUN.....    

Lady o the Lake #2 9-14-22 Sold at Gallery4

 What a fluke this is.  I was making greeting cards and my printer ran out of ink while printing the "Lady of the Lake" painting.  the result was so neat but not customer worthy, if you know what i mean...  ANYWAY, i thought about a theme we will be having at Gallery4 next year: Stripes. Wah Lah   this was born in watercolor.  

7-21  Well, i did a little "redo" on this one.  not sure if it was good or bad.  Wasn't that happy with the stripes but love the boats..  Added a few "ripples" in the water/  Going to be for anther theme wall titled Reflections.  surprise, surprise 

Cold as a W. T. Sold at Cormorant Show

 I "borrowed " this image from a watercolor painting i did over 40 years ago,  Love the buildings..  painted canvas cobalt blue first which really makes the snow look cold.  i fell in love with the grey sky so minimized the tree action. It is weird that i can so love a part of a painting.   now need a free frame.. ha
