Tool Box

Last year I did a tool box painting. It was small and I wanted to do a larger one. 

This one has screw drivers in it. I like the yellow in it.

It is poured with lots of masking. 

Still Waiting

This old car is close to Hereford, TX. I saw it months ago on the way to a funeral and couldn't stop.  So the next time I went, I kept watching for it so I could stop and get photos.  It had a road down to it, so I went down and got some photos.  The train started squeaking and barely moving, and I decided I needed to get back on the highway since I was alone. It was a little spooky!
I found out later, one of my students in Amarillo owns this car! I can't believe it just sits there all alone...for years it looks like.  I love the look of it with the train and the graffiti. 
It is 22x28 framed.

It should work, I checked it out first.

Here it is in the store! Can't wait to visit the one close to us and see if they have it.

Prickly Pear

I have another new mixed media collage done. The greens were a little challenging!  In the spring the cactus are so pretty. They are called Prickly Pears. I took this photo with my phone and the colors aren't exact.  It is 12x24 on stretched canvas.

First Painting for 2017

I have worked a long time trying to get my saddle just right! here are some of the steps. I forgot to get the first drawing but you can still tell.  I finally got my acrylic paint out and painted some of it.
I like the way it turned out using both, Magazine pages as well as acrylic.

It is 18x24 on stretched canvas.

 Finished...other than the varnish.

December Days

I just finished 31 days of December.  It was a lot of fun.  I used a 5x5 hand book sketchbook. One of my favorites. I had a list on World of Watercolor on Face Book.  I used ink, watercolor, gouache and even some Casein.  Gold ink as well as black.
It was fun.  There are a few that I didn't get done. It is hard to get one done each day.  I sketch at night, so sometimes it would be 11:00 before I was finishing.
