Color Color Color!!!  Spring tulips are just about done, but I did this for a cousin and I cannot wait to see them framed and hanging.  Remember to stop by my website for those $199 paintings. I am still new new ones but they sell pretty fast. I have a larger commission I will start in a few weeks and spent today ordering the beautiful birch for the pieces, as well as more 24 x 24 canvas for my figurative faces.  I got to visit today with a friend from high school... Lake Highlands High School... go WILDCATS!   We remain close despite the 51 year graduation date.  When did we get so old?  They wanted our class to parade out on the football field the fall of the 50th reunion 18 months ago...

Face within.  What does that mean?  Faces are funny in so many ways. We often wear them as a mask so others do not know our thoughts, our insecurities, or even our reactions.

The original sketch did not work at all... resulting in me wiping the canvas as clean as I could. Then came sketching a new face that might work. Below are a few progress shots.  I have been a brown eyed girl my entire life.

I seem to exist between the two.  I did complete the paintings for the new show opening at Mirada Fine Art this next month in Colorado! I promise to share photos as soon as I can.  I am preparing to paint another large piece and probably a face again.    Meanwhile, I just completed a horse on birch above.  My studio does not call me as often as it did. I have spent 23 years painting daily and marketing and at age 68, my other gifts are calling to me.  Piano, guitar, singing, writing etc.   Also, Hubby has been down a bit and I have been busy cooking healthy things for him to feel better.  I did notice this week that this blog still has very high ranking and that...
