White Tailed Buck Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas 30 x 30 inches Contemporary Modern Art SOLD SOLD SOLD off Daily Painters! Thank YOU!!! Sunday morning in its glory. My friend Cris and her daughter, one of my students, Aly, is coming by in about an hourish to pick me up for church. I am visiting a huge church called Cross Timbers in Argyle Texas. They have four services each weekend. It is definitely different that ANYTHING I am accustomed to. It is a rock band on the stage and none of the creeds and responses I have grown up with. Terry and I visited it about a month ago and enjoyed the difference, so I am eager to visit this morning. This painting is a different subject than I normally paint...but the same brilliant palette of colors mixing and contrasting to pull you into the composition. It is alive for sure. We get in these ruts in life as we try to control it all, thinking wisely ahead and planning. I was reading my new OPRAH magazine last night about 6 woman that just quit th
NIGHT POWER 30 x 30 inches Oil on Canvas A Painting a Day Not quite finished but I wanted to post it! I told you several mornings ago I had a vision of wolves just before I woke. I even addressed visions yesterday in my blog. The painting is ALMOST done. I know by posting this it will prompt a wolf painting from an artist that seems to follow and duplicate my subjects in a competitive manner...my husband has a bet on that at least!

These animals have distinct personalities that almost frighten me when I am staring at it or working on it. I rarely RARELY paint wolves, but again a vision led this painting to be. In the vision it was three wolves, but in the painting it evolved to THREE EYES. That alone seem to be enough to quietly affect the viewer into slight hesitation to approach the composition. The fur seems full and textured that you might want to b
STARE 11 x 14 inches Oil on Panel A Painting a Day SOLD on Daily Painters Again from our trip... a painting from the road! The deer were abundant in Colorado! Thick paint and a fast brush tooled this composition out. Have been up since five. We had to drive the car to south west FT Worth to the auto body shop that didn't fix it right and meet with the insurance company and the shop to remedy what was not addressed. They will do the work next week. Everyone seems to be on vacation. BUT we are home now and I will be painting in the studio this morning...rather frantically I am afraid. Time to crank the music, meditate, pray and then let the spirit take over. The economy seems to be rather shaky right now. Not sure that art will be selling well over the next year.
