Roswell NM Show

 Roswell, NM has a juried show each year, and this  year, I had 3 accepted.
This old truck, is from a photo I took last summer at a friends ranch.
It is called:
'I Could have had a V-8'
 watercolor.

 This one is a Torn Paper Collage on Canvas.
'Elegance is an Attitude'

My Garden Chair, was painted from our back yard.
we have 2 chairs and a table in the back yard, and I used it for this painting. It is watercolor but I drew in a back ground, and painted in an under-painting first.

Their shows are always so nice. A lot of people come to the opening.  They also have an awesome miniature show with entries as far away as England!

Yoakum County Art Show 2010

"Wash Day"

We just finished our annual county art show,
and I wont Best in Show with my painting,
"Wash Day." This Old building is in O'Donnell, TX.
It is awesome, and the owner said it was built for a wash house.
(By her parents) in the 40's. I loved it the minute I saw it!
I have done two paintings of it. One with transparent watercolor, and this one
has gouache in the sky. The other one is in the show in Roswell, NM.
Their show opens tomorrow night. I won an award on an old truck that
I entered, "Don't Fence Me In" It is also on my blog. It was posted earlier.

2009 Yoakum County Art Show

This past week we had our Yoakum County Art Show, and this little miniature painting, won a first place. The idea came from being in a little shop in Lubbock, TX that is now closed. She had all kinds of chairs with flowers in them. Some had the seats taken out and flowers planted down in a formed pot, made from wire, moss and potting soil. They are really neat sitting on the patio or porch. The chair on my porch, is the one my daughter made for me last year. It needs some brighter colored flowers! I have a problem with wind, and some of the brighter ones didn't make it!

So be on the look out for old chairs! See what you can do with what you find!

The Sunflower that I posted earlier won a 1st place also.
