Harrisville, New Hampshire

Thought you all would get a kick out of this piece of "work" It is 4'x6' and painted of old barn wood. It was done in Acrylic and is really huge. I used the bartering system for this piece of work. This was for a Motel on a lake up North in exchange for our rooms during three different shows. Believe me there is no avenue artists should leave unexplored. Whatever it takes. The lovely young woman looking at this is my youngest daughter, Katie

Memorial Day

Haven't been able to get much done lately. My sister Shirley is visiting from Florida and we have been busy. I am going to include Memorial Day painting on this post and hopefully will have some "newer" work next week.

Finally got to studio and got the three paintings ready to ship. Off they went. Now I am home waiting for sister Shirl and Husband Al to arrive from Sunny Florida. They are up for a wedding and graduation and I hope some fun. These two keep us all smiling. Afraid I won't be painting much for awhile, but hope to get some good photos.

Just came across this acrylic I did for a couple in the South West. Almost done and then on its way. A artist must be a jack of all trades or should I say a Jill. ///////////

Well, I didn't get to the studio as planned. Now of course it is the weekend and Mothers Day coming up tomorrow. So I guess I won't be around for a couple of days. Am going to put painting I did for my Art Colony challenge on post. Just recieved word it has been sold. Having a hard time getting a new body of work together as it keeps moving out of my hands. My daughter Kate came for a visit today and she and my grandaughter went horseback riding all morning. I can tell you they were sore. Well I see you later hopefully from the studio on Monday.

Hello, today is my first post. Maybe I should say attempt at this crazy new world I am looking at. I am a artist and paint is my form of expression. Everything else comes second. I will give you a link to my Web site and tell you a little about my days at the studio. I used to paint six or seven hours a day, but now that I have retired from a show circut my time is my own to use as I wish. For example today I painted a painting in memory of my mother-in-law. Her name was Vera and she was a wacky wonderful woman. Her favorite flower was a pansy, and her is one I painted for her. First I will show you my basic painting, second the way it looks almost complete, and lastly the final piece with butterfly and dew drops.
