Old DeSoto

Old DeSoto

I have painted this more than once! I love this old car. I have such fun painting these old relics.

I wonder where all they have been, how many miles are on them. How many secrets they might know!

I wonder how much they cost 'back in their day'

Collage Workshop-Plains, TX Oct. 21, 22nd,

The next workshop is Oct.21, 22nd.  It is time to mark your calendars, make plans. It is 2 days, but is possible to take one day, if one day is not open for you.
It will be in Plains, at the Plains Community Building. Call or email me for more information.

Just be Yourself!

I have reworked this one for the 3rd time, and it is now varnished.  

It needed a little red somewhere, so I added some red/white stripe and red/white polka dots.

Now its ready for somebody's wall!

I could have had a V8

This is the old truck, from the last post.  The lighting was just perfect on the front.  I use a lot of Kosher Salt to get the rusty texture. I would love to know where 'all' this old relic has been! They all have a story to tell...

Haul'n Hay

In July, I went out to our neighbors ranch, to take photos of his horse, saddles, etc, and when I drove up there was this wonderful OLD green truck!. Of course I had to photo it, inside and out. The photo of the inside really excited me so I painted it in with watercolor.  It has many many layers of paint to get the dark door.
I had such fun painting it.
(The photo is a little darker than real life, and the steering wheel shows up on the left better than it does in here)

Just Be Yourself

 'Just Be Yourself'

I love zebras, and have painted several, so I thought I would try to do one with the torn paper. I named this one  'Just Be Yourself' because of all the weird stripes, polka dots,  etc.
This Zebra definitely doesn't fit in with the rest of the herd. It was fun to do.

Big Spring TX workshop

 Kay Smith in her Studio, working on her Chef

 Kay Smith invited me to come to her studio in Big Spring, TX and do a torn paper workshop.
It was great, we had 9 sign up, and one had to miss. We had a lot of fun. They did different things.
But there was lots of silence with the sound of tearing paper!  It is so funny, in every workshop I have done, people say, well! I will NEVER look at a magazine the same again. How true that is!
