Flowers

i am trying to paint as much as possible and i worked on this floral. One is small and the dark one is larger. I plan on doing some more to the dark background, since I am not happy with it.

Ride the Fence

I hope to be able to paint more this year. I started out with a 6x8 gessoboard. drawing with my brush and acrylics, a saddle hanging on a fence, then after painting it with acrylic i went over it with oil.

2018 A new exciting year!

As this year comes to an end, what a good year we have been blessed with.  We have such a wonderful family, friends and a wonderful place to live! God has been so good to us!
It is always exciting, but a little scary to go into a new year...a new chapter of our lives.  I pray for good health and safety for all more than anything.  The world is in a fast changing pace, and it leaves you a little dizzy at times, trying to figure out what might be next.  Thanks to all that have followed my blogs this year. I have been so behind, but it's because I have been in one of those slumps that people often fall into.  I think it is mainly due to so many dr. visits, back and forth and is hard to settle down and concentrate. I pray this new year will be better in every way for us all.
2018 will be an adventuresome year.
I plan on teaching each month, plus some workshops.  In March I will be going to Las Cruses NM  to teach watercolor for 3 days, then in May I will be going to Dallas, TX to teach Collage.  THEN...in October I will be going to Italy to teach. I am so excited.  There is room for a couple more if anybody wants to come go experience the wonderful Tuscany landscape with us! If so, contact me, and I will send contact info.  Thank you again for reading and viewing what is going on with my art!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Colors of Life Show in Keller, TX

I was honored to be asked to  hang some of my collages in Keller, TX, which is in Ft.Worth, TX.
I took 66 pieces.  I borrowed some back from friends and family because I wanted to have a big show!

Here are some highlights and fun from the show.  The first one is my favorite! Our great grandson looking at the sign!  It was so exciting to have my grand-kids walk in and surprise me! I didn't know they were coming.  Some of my art friends came, and we had a fun time visiting.
It was a very special time.

Brown and Yellow

I was trying to get ready for the show in Keller, and finished up one last piece! I took a photo at the Cowboy symposium in Lubbock TX and just had to do a collage of it! The show will be up until November 22.

ARMTech insurance services

I was asked to do the 2018 calendar this year for this Insurance Company. I am so honored they wanted to use my art. I have some ag scenes, etc. which worked good for their specialty.
 They print a lot, and give to their customers.
