This has taken a while to create because it was made up of leftover paint. Very simple so I put it in this very busy frame. Thank you Kay for all your help and inspiration. This one, as with all my paintings, is for sale.
This small came together very quickly. Working on several more flowers and several fruits and vegetables.
Another small 6x8 titled "Vacation". Not my favorite.
Fixed Mark's forehead so he doesn't look like Frankenstein! This is one of my small 6x8 paintings.
Finally finished details on Keaton. Now just waiting on the frame to arrive. Might be her Daddy's Father's Day present! Not such a good picture of it. Got to work on that.
This is Nathan and Kelli Hale's 8 month old little girl, Keaton Marie. 
I have decided to paint small (6x8) so my work can be sold at a reasonable price. Will test market them at a garage - art sale at my house soon. Need to frame them very simply. This painting will be $45.00
I finally put the finishing touches on the doily and highlights of this painting. Didn't do such a hot job of cropping this one. Still I loved the subject and the feelings it brings back every time I look at it.
I got this painting photographed and cropped myself. Sweet Karen Rike has been doing this for all of our studio for the past year! I decided to try to do it on my own and not be such a burden. You have to start somewhere.
Not finished with the details of this painting yet but pleased with the outcome so far. In 2004, when I arrived in Paris, my best friend, Lea, and I went to a cafe called Deux Magots for a bite to eat. This is the cafe where Hemingway and other famous writers met and discussed many issues and drank themselves into a stupor. Well, Lea and I didn't have enough euros to drink ourselves into a stupor but I did photograph the tiny bird who had a hearty fare from our afternoon repast. I want to enter this into the virtual paintout also.
This painting is from the Pont Neuf on the Quai d'(something) I took this in Paris in 2004. I like it .................. will have to sleep on it and have it photographed properly before I submit it to the virtual paintout. I LOVE PARIS!
This is a quickie that I just finished but haven't signed , of my friend Scotty Gotcher and his adorable Frenchie, Maurice. Looks just like the pic I took off of facebook. Hope you like it Scotty!
This is the picture after one very light glaze of pink and pale purple. I think I still need a little more ..... what does anyone else think?
I haven't put a glaze on this in this poor picture but will try to add the latest with one layer of glaze. I want this flower to POP! Please give suggestions.
Stephanie Dupree went to Round Top Antique Show for the first time and decided she wanted a cowboy hat. When she put it on she looked like a Ralph Lauren model and I took a bunch of pictures of her. This is the first in a series I would like to paint of her. The background was really nice and she was an easy subject to paint. Hope she likes it.
