Help

How the heck do I make a link on my blog to here or to any other blog? I'm not "El Stupido" I am "La Stupida" when it comes to this computer.

Utrecht Painters in the Shade


Utrecht Painters in the Shade
Oil on Hardboard
8" x 10"






I participated in the Park Blocks annual event. Most of my time was spent painting buildings but about 20 minutes before quiting time. I couldn't resist painting this group. It was over 90 this day in the shade but it was fun afterward.

Take Your Pick



Here we go again...a little bunch of house plants just waiting for me to knock them off!
Actually, these are the only African Violets I can keep without killing them.

Welcome to Venice



It was a warm Spring day when I exited the train station in Venice and realized how different, exciting and fun this trip would be! Sadly, most of my slides from this trip are missing.
I stumbled across a tube of Venetian red...so here we are!

Black Tie Blue Jean Event


Leather Look Wallet
Oil on Canvas
4" x 5"
2008

BT&BJ Wallet
Oil on Canvas
5" x 7"
2008



These are my Black Tie & Blue Jean trompe loeil leather oil paintings for the auction.





I use trompe loeil method for my Northwest Coast Native American style artwork so I thought I would try to use that for something else as well. The theme for the Black Tie is Western so I decided to try my hand at a leather tooling look. They put center pieces on the tables for sale. Last year they did art boots but I didn't get to do one. Had my hands full with other things. I'm glad to be able to do something even if it is small. Hope you are all having fun creating.
