I painted this for the youngest daughter of my dearest best friend in my life. Take the Netflix Series, Firefly Lane and start it with us being young moms with small children. Life was always better together and especially with Charlene and our kids. I cannot leave out MaryEllen Maddox. She was the dearest of our 'Nanny' members of our family. She was a student from Stephen F Austin State University and she helped with my children while I worked or had classes. My degree was finished but I wanted to teach and had to take some extra credits. MaryEllen was the best! We were all slightly crazy. Charlene and I loved to take off in her Suburban and go east on the country road they lived on, suddenly taking veering turns on to other smaller roads, till we found fl

It is a start. Still waiting on paint to arrive... new colors, new brand and hopefully some new glazing ahead layering softer pieces. With the membership at Daily Paint Works , I will be doing more $100- $150 paintings. If there is something you want to see, make a comment! I am contemplating Horses, Flowers, Trees, Water, Sailboats, Food... what else? The animals and nature will be on birch... not sure about the food and water yet! With the economy struggle, I want some smaller pieces you can collect and comfortably purchase three to frame and hang together. If you see something on the website you love that is larger and more costly, reach out to me, and I will see what I can do about pricing and about you paying it out. My job is to paint thin

These horses appeared on the surface as I knifed the board in colors that brought me joy... and then I added more green, because all the leaves were coming out on the trees!  This painting is joyful... how about you? " Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. " Philippians 3: 13-14  Where is your joy?   There are things you can do to get your joy and your confidence back.  Life has never come with a promise of happiness. My grandmother told me many years ago, when I was 10, that happiness would fly away from "me" if I  was not helping and serv

"The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.” John 3:8 This painting began with light palette knife sweeps in rich colors of browns, deep reds, and golds. I knew right away it would be horses and I began turning and rotating the canvas to find the silhouettes of the horses in the paint.  They stood out strongly to my eye and I could feel the wind in their face.  Preparing for the Keller Public Art Show, I was blessed to visit The Dutch Art gallery in search of frames for several of my paintings. This frame was the first one my husband found

"Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few."    Ecclesiastes 5:2 Are you Hard Wired? The year was 2008 I do remember painting this beauty above- the horse. A one and only. One of my favorite collectors bought it even before I put it online in my store. She always checked my blog as I would post in process pictures of what I was working on! Not sure what took me this direction, but that was the joy of painting back in that day.   Posting work in an auction situation.  The work always calls to a heart or two or three and it allowed the paintings to sell and me to paint more. Yes not everything sold at a high price, but most of my horses did.  I am rememb

I loved the home we lived in there. Plenty of room and large ones too... on two acres with a creek on the back. This is where I put down my brushes and Impressionism and took up a knife with my buttery oil paints. Again you see lots of red with orange and yellow. Contrast built with accents of blue and green and purple. Opposites on the color wheel.     It was
