Little Lance

Here's my latest painting commission.  Lance's sweet little face was such a joy to paint.  His Dad wanted him standing on the tracks...kind of scary huh!  The composition was a little tricky.  I learn a bit each time I do a painting.  This time perspective was a challenge as well as form...then there's always the warm and cool shadows...so many things to think about when you paint a piece. I suppose this will end up being a New Year's present.  Dr. Harris picked it up today.  Can't wait to hear what his wife thought of it and to see it framed in that new home they're planning!

Hatfield in the Day

Oh sweet memories of going to the old Hatfield Drive-In in Athens, AL.  Those were the days when life was a little less complicated.  Went there the first time with my brother and his girlfriend and the brother came back from the snack bar with an upside down pizza : )  Several years later my husband of 34 years takes me there on our first date...in his little blue Volkswagen, in the rain....but we didn't care.  I still have one of their speakers...but that's another story!

You can order prints, cards, or the original from FINEARTAmerica.com just look me up.

Easter Lilacs

I grew up smelling the beautiful fragrance of Lilacs on the breeze coming through the open windows on Easter.  This Easter I was inspired by that wonderful smell once again and tried to capture it in this painting.

Here's my latest painting.... a more loosly done than normal for me, textured rendition of a sweet memory from our trip to Italy and Germany last summer.  Can't wait to do more when there's more TIME!  (Well, I guess there's only so much time, it's a matter of where you spend it huh?)  The original is for sale @ $150 and it is a 20" x 16" oil on canvas.  Prints on canvas as well as framed and matted to your specifications of this and many other works are available at the fineartamerica site linked above.  Thanks for stopping by!
