Tart 6/2/22 sold at Gallery4 today.

 

I've painted these daisies a few times from a photo of mine.   This was fun cause the tart started out as a plate and turned into a pie or tart as i dabbled.  

Ground Drifting 10-25-21 Sold at Gallery4 today

 Once again I fell in love with the background before i decided what to paint..  Since i had just finished a commission with an old barn, i had to do another old barn.  Always liked to see white barns for some reason.  It turned into winter as i painted..  geez.  

Iridescent paint added donated

 Here's one of my 6x6 paintings reworked..  It was quite dull so it needed help.  I added some acrylic paint that was in my pile 'o paints, called Iridescent Rich Copper and it is now shiny, which doesn't photograph well...   also redid the background.  What fun.

Church Ladies

 I found this painting, while looking for watercolor paper in my "studio".  i had painted it in the 1990's during a workshop in Perham, MN.  I just added the tiny crosses on it, for fun.   i may frame it.

 I took it for show and tell at the Hjemkomst and it was suggested that i add a tuna casserole on the table.  

Rain Drops

9-27-23   I unframed this w/c and tried to color in the white "raindrops" . as usual i enjoy messing with older works. it seems better. I so love the background on this (better than the florals).  weird!

A bit different subject matter for me.  Used a photo i took a long time ago when Carl was here to attend to the lovely irises in our yard.  I have failed them miserably but can paint them beautifully.  Everyone has a mission in this life.  

"Wait in the Truck"

I painted this in 1980, yes, in 1980, during my "oil" phase.  I had actually won an award at our local show so i kept it "all" these years.  Gallery's theme this month was Escape and i thought this was fitting.  It always made me think of the days when the farmers would stop at the bar for a "pint or quart or maybe even a gallon" of brew and kids would wait in the truck.  Sad but true..   
 

Where has your Aspen?? 5-23 SOLD at Gallery4

 It is very difficult to photo glossy acrylic paintings.  I had painted this white stretched canvas with Sap Green and Cad Yellow, using long strokes.  As i looked at it I could see the pine trees on a mountain side.  I added some cobalt blue to the Sap green and used only those 3 pigments until i added the Aspen..  what fun.
