Little Drummer Boy for Sketchbook Project I’m finally back at it. Something about the looming deadline made it not fun for awhile! What a typical Taurus I am. Tell me I have to do something, and I run the other direction…lol! It’s also been pretty hectic with Christmas and parties and all that stuff. IContinue reading “Little Drummer Boy”

A Day at the Beach
A Day at the Beach – unfinished, maybe–12″x16″ oil Okay…this is what I’ve been working on for a few days. The color isn’t the best in the photo. The sand looks the same color as his skin, and that’s not the case. It’s actually a lot lighter. I don’t know if I’m happy with itContinue reading “A Day at the Beach”
The Computer Whiz
The Computer Whiz-for Sketchbook Project My little angel, drawn from life the other day. She’s playing a TreehouseTV game. It has always amazed me that they can pick up the laptop mousepad and all of it’s functions so quickly! They’re little sponges:)
Read Me a Story
Read Me a Story — 8″x10″ oil on canvas You’ve all seen this image before, if you’ve been following, but I loved how the sketch turned out so much that I wanted to turn it into a painting. This started out as a color study, but I ended up liking where it was going, soContinue reading “Read Me a Story”
Another Sketch of the Boy
Jacob’s Art–for the Sketchbook Project Getting there…I’m getting close to the end of the Sketchbook Project…maybe:) At any rate, the deadline’s coming up, isn’t it? Well, I drew this one from life the other morning. He was completely absorbed in drawing dragons I think, and the window light was illuminating his hair and shoulder inContinue reading “Another Sketch of the Boy”
Life is Golden
Life is Golden – 8″x10″ for Julia Kay’s Portrait Party-Flickr I was having a bit of fun for Julia Kay’s Portrait Party last night. I painted this from one of Tipsy Darkness’ photos that she posted of herself. The bright areas are actual gold leaf…her eye highlight, ring, left corner and the bright lights inContinue reading “Life is Golden”
The "Old-Time Hat"
The Old-Time Hat — 8″x10″ oil on canvas NFS This was my son’s favorite hat for a while. We got it at Barkerville, an historic gold-mining village in Northern B.C. where they re-enact the history. He loves it there, and he calls this hat his “Old-Time Hat”. This is another painting I finished yesterday inContinue reading “The "Old-Time Hat"”
Festival Days
Festival Days 8″x10″ oil on canvas panel NFS This is one of my most recent paintings. When it comes to painting, lately, I have been very discouraged and uninspired. I had a really busy summer doing shows and teaching workshops, and as good as that sounds, it really took something away from my art andContinue reading “Festival Days”
Fishing for leeches
Fishing for Leeches — Sketchbook Project This is from a photo of my kids at the lake this summer. My husband has a band, and he was hired to play for a wedding near Tatlayoko Lake, at a ranch way out in the middle of the wilderness…Bracewell’s Lodge. We were given this rustic cabin onContinue reading “Fishing for leeches”
