Molly

Some dear friends of ours recently lost their companion Molly after enjoying her company for 14 years. I had extra time on Sunday so I decided to give painting a dog a try. I am giving the painting to Debi and Brian today.

Peacocks

There is a website that every artist should be a part of if they want to hone their skills. It is http://www.wetcanvas.com/

This website has great forums in all artistic mediums where feedback is provided so that we can grow and improve our skills from other artists from around the world. Their feedback is constructive and helpful. There are also monthly challenges where a picture is posted and we can choose to try it. It is great to see all the different interpretations of one photo. This months subject was peacocks. Here was my stab at it. (I got pretty good feedback).

Kerrville Woodpecker

I was in Kerrville, Texas this January helping my Mom in her recovery from knee replacement. While there, I did a few paintings to fill and idle time. This little guy was painted using a composite of two pictures I found in some of my Mom's magazines. I gave the painting to our family friends Bev and Kal, as a thank you for all their help with Mom. Bev even sent me a picture of it in its new home. I love to see where these painting end up in their new homes.

Plumeria

This painting was inspired by the blooms of the Plumeria tree outside our room in Maui. It was the end of the bloom season and each morning there were blossoms and leaves on the ground. They were beautiful nonetheless.

This painting is 11x14.
