Take Time to Smell the Flowers

I started this torn paper collage as a demo in my one of my mini workshops, then continued for demo's in  Brownfield, Plains, and Clovis NM.

Seems like it has taken forever to get it done. Since it has a little flower on her nose, I thought the title would fit.  I hope I take the time to smell the 'flowers' everyday. There are so many beautiful and exciting things around us each day, that I am afraid I miss a lot!

This is on a 16x20on stretched Canvas.

New Book is finally here!

 I am excited to get in another book by Chris Unwin.  This is an awesome book, and I am so very honored to be in it with so many wonderful artists! Some I hope to meet someday and some that I have watched for years!  This is the cover...a painting by Chris.

 This Painting has always been one of my favorites.  It belongs to a friend in Lubbock, TX.  It started out as an experiment.  I drew flowers on plain white watercolor paper, painted them and then drew the zebra's over the flowers, trying to get them in the right spot. It was fun to paint!
It got 'nearly'  a 2 page spread!

The Rodeo Clown was one of my first collages that I did.
It also belongs someone in Lubbock, TX.  This has some acrylics in the back ground, and some in the shadow areas.

I have a few of these to sell, if you are interested in buying one, email me and I will send you the info.  I will sign it and mail it to you as soon as possible.

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.
