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.

My Darling Daddy

Sketchbook Project — My Darling Daddy I was feeling inspired this morning as I was looking at the newest “Strokes of Genius” collection of drawings, so I decided to draw my dad. This is just pencil in my little moley, from life while having his morning cigarette…(Hack! Hack!) The eyes look a little freaky in

Inishmore

“Inishmore” 12×16 oil on panel $400.00 I remember the day when I took the reference photo for this painting so well!

“Randy” 12″ x 12″ oil on canvas This is my husband’s son, Randy. He’s a handsome guy, and he looked so intense in this pose that I thought I’d try to capture his intensity.

Hula Girl

“Hula Girl” 9″x 12″ oil on canvas I took the photo for this one last winter in Maui at the Children’s Hula in Lahaina. Although it was indoors, the light through the skylights was very dramatic, and I was able to get a lot of great shots. The sun shining today made me feel “Mauish”,

I Hope…

Hope — 9″ x 12″ oil on canvas …everyone had a great Christmas. I’m taking a break off of ACEO’s for a week or so to paint something I really want to, and this was last night’s result. About 6 hours to completion, I think. Her eyes say it all…
