Ladybug, ladybug,

fly away home....

Here a couple of tiles that I painted for my sister. 

She is moving into a brand new house and asked for 

some tiles to place in her new kitchen. Her granite counter top

 has a lot of brown and white with a hint of red.

3" x 6" Alcohol ink on tile.

Volunteer Poppies This beautiful poppy was the last flower to bloom in my yard this year. It volunteered to grow right along-side my driveway and so, we gave it ample space so that we could appreciate the large red flowers. I am thankful to the little bird or squirrel that happened to deliver these seeds to my yard.

Below are photos of my painting of the poppies before and after airbrushing the background.

Red Tailed Hawk

WOOD BURNING

Years ago my grandmother gave me a wood burning tool

that had belonged to my grandfather. Recently, I created this

8 x 10 panel that shows a red tailed hawk perched on a tree

 branch. I plan to frame and display it at Pynelogs during the

Headwaters Art Society's show in May. The exhibit will take

place from May 14th to May 28th, 2013. The reception is being

 held on Friday, May 17th, 2013.

Hope to see you there!



 

 

 

Red-naped Sapsucker

( Syphrapicus nuchalis )

 

This poor 'sucker' doesn't have a very

romantic name! He is the focal point of

a painting that I have just finished on a

12 x 16 hardboard. Title is pending.

Any witty suggestions?

 

 

 

40th Wedding Anniversary

RUBY RED

 

 

     This Saturday, October 27th, I threw my parents a surprise party for their 40th Wedding Anniversary. My mother's wedding bouquet was yellow roses. Being that the ruby is symbolic for 40 years I bought red and yellow roses which my Aunt used to decorate their cake with. My Aunt brought these  mini yellow roses and used a  RUBY RED GRAPEFRUIT  as the vase! How unique is that! We had a lot of fun!

 

Busy Bee!

 The third in my series of three paintings of bees on gaillardia flowers.

I just got these prints last week and I am now stretching them.
