Yea! My client came to pick up her portrait and was very pleased. I'm so happy that she liked it! This is an oil portrait on 20" x 24" canvas. I've worked on it on and off for about 6 months. I hope it's one that she will treasure. I feel that I did capture the sweet spirit of these two young boys. They were a delight to photograph...so full of energy but so well mannered.
Looking forward to my next portrait challenge! (Below you can see the photograph that I painted from.)

Rooster Swirl

I just painted my kitchen red and needed something to hang over my stove. Here's my first shot. I called it "Rooster Swirl" and it's acrylic on 16" x 20" stretched canvas.

I like it but also have another idea in mind.....later.

What do you think?

My Thanksgiving 2008

A snippit of my Thanksgiving memories for those who are interested

Lilly

How 'bout this sweet little black cap capuchan monkey?  I pulled an old photo I snapped of her this morning and decided to paint her.  Her name is Lilly and she belongs to a friend.  I also wanted to paint the beautiful fall leaves so this is a combination of the two.  The scene is out my back door.  Let me know what you think!  This is acrylic on 18" x 18" stretched canvas.  The original as well as prints are available for purchase.  Contact me for details.  I'll post the portrait of the Hudson boys when the owners have seen it.  I'm finally done with that one!! Yea!

Everything's Coming Up Roses

Yes, I love roses. I've been looking for something to paint for my living room for a while now and this was actually painted from a picture on a beautiful gift bag. It's 36" x 48" acrylic on canvas . If anyone is interested in a Giclee print (which looks almost like an original) just let me know. Life is not always "a bed of roses" but when I look at others lives and compare my own I know that I have been so very blessed. Most of the time everything comes up roses thanks to all of the love in my life.
