Categories and "Wild Rose Alberta"

I have rearranged the pictures of my paintings. They are arranged now a little more closely by categories. I have also added another flower painting: "Wild Rose Alberta." This one came together so easily and I think it turned out quite nicely. You will need to go down the page about halfway to the flower category to see it.

Have a great weekend!

Kindest regards,

Portraits and Paintings

I finished my latest portrait today. These are so fun to do. I have another commission of a trio of grandchildren. This is a beautiful photo and I am excited to get to draw these three handsome kids.

I am still working on two large oil paintings. One should be done in just a couple of more days - unless I hit some snags in making things look right. I am very excited to get this one so close to being done. Sometimes I struggle with certain aspects of the painting, but I am always thrilled to see how things work out in the end. They seem to always just come together in a wonderful way.

Kindest regards,

"Gail's Amish Quilts"

This is one of the very few watercolor paintings I have done. Gail makes quilts and she really loves Amish quilts. This painting shows three quilts drying on a snowy day. The light background makes the colors in the quilts really stand out. It was a fun change of pace for me to do this piece.

Kindest regards,

Sundown

How is everyone today? It is beautiful here in Texas. The sun is setting and the low light and golden color on everything makes this my favorite time of day.

I had the opportunity to begin a charcoal drawing yesterday. It is coming along nicely and I should have it finished tomorrow.

I am posting a painting I did of a wonderful mustang called Trinket. She is so full of life and has a memorable personality. I hope it shows in this portrait of her.

Kindest regards,

Arizona Company

Hi! It's been a few days since I last posted a blog. We have had our dearest friends here from Arizona since last Thursday. They will be here until this coming Thursday, so I won't have much time to post or get much painting done. Please be patient with me and check back on Friday.

Kindest regards,
