TEDDY... Oil

A wonderful day painting and visiting at the awesome home of
Kathryn and Ron..

We worked on this still life using oil.
I was happy with the result, but in posting, see some changes I could make to produce a better picture.

Thanks for visiting.

SNOW CAPPED MTNS. .... Watercolor

Before the Holidays, I painted this picture with our card in mind... After I finished it, I realized I had tried it once before...
Although I like this one, I couldn't use it again as our Christmas Card..Someone on my list might remember seeing it before..
Just wish we would get some snow on the Ruby Mtns.
Have never seen it so dry during the 31 years living here.

Thanks for visiting.

MORE CARDS....Watercolor

Well, just a month later and finally a new post!!
With the Holiday news comes the responsibility of responding with "Thank Yous", "birthdays" , "Congratulations", and sadly, "Sympathies"..
I enjoy these free style flowers..

Thanks for visiting.

HOLIDAY GREETINGS...Watercolor

Painted this picture to be used as our card for this years celebration.
Wishing all my family and friends
Happiness and Peace during the Holiday Season and 2012, too.

Thanks for visiting.

CALLA LILLIES...Watercolor...

A friend of many years became very ill and passed on to better things.
Am wishing peace to Judi's dear family in this time of sorrow.


HAPPY THANKSGIVING
to all who may visit.

JACKSON GRAND TETONS....Watercolor

A photo from Kathryns trip to the Grand Tetons, inspired this painting. She only took about 2800 pictures on this trip... As you can imagine, choices were many, but the shadows in this photo grabbed my interest....

Thanks for visiting.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

AUTUMN STILL LIFE... Oil

Our Thursday painting day at Kathryns house was awesome.. Kathryn had set the still life in her studio.. Yvonne , an artist friend of Kathryns visited her Wednesday and painted with her. Yvonne did a fine job with her AUTUMN STILL LIFE.. You can view her painting at http://ryvonnecolclasurefineart.com/
After getting to her site, click on "blog" to view this painting.
Amy and I visited Kathryn on Thursday to attempt the same still life... So you should visit Kathryns blog and see her TWO autumn still life.

After viewing these two professionals , you will plainly see level of artists I try to work along side.... Both ladies are dedicated to their art.. They have experienced many work shops , classes and daily practice.

Thanks for visiting.
Love this season!!!
