After Rehearsal

This is supposed to be a painting of my "little red dress" - It did not fit so well (shrunk in the closet - LOL) when I tried it on the other night.

Roof Tops

"Roof Tops" -6x6 Oil on Canvas Panel
Sold

.

This is my entry to this weeks DSFDF challenge. The hardest part of he challenge was to decide on the composition for the painting - architecture and buildings are not my favorite subjects.

Hibiscus

"Hibiscus" - 6x6 Oil on Canvas Panel

Available

.

This was inspired by all the spring flower catalogs that my husband has been getting in the mail. Hibiscus is by far his most favorite flower - I find it very pretty, but it really lacks in the smell department.

January Virtual Sketch Date

"All Peeled" - 6x6 Oil on Canvas Board

Sold

.

This is my first entry to the Virtual Sketch Date Blog. It's a blog where once a month a group of artists come together and draw from a reference image. I almost went with colored pencils for this challenge, but figured that I would get hung up on the small details of the orange. I have been working so hard on loosening up my style, so that is why I decided to stick with oils.

.

I have not done a picture of my Biggsy Boy in a while. Well, this was a quick one, and I am pretty happy it. The eyes are not 100% and I might play with them later. Also, I had a hard time photographing it - the colors don't seem really there. I really love working on the Big Boy - he was the love of my life and I miss him every day.

Larger than life

I got inspired by all of Karin Jurick's Museum paintings and wanted to put a slightly different and fun spin on the whole museum theme. I think I will try and continue with this museum series- must also try it on Masonite.

The star of this painting is Teton, a cat that was rescued and adopted out through the SafeHavenforCats organization. He was one handsome fellow.....
