A most special keepsake - a handpainted oil of the 'girlfriends'!

I painted these 7 paintings, one for each girly in the photo

(scroll down to view photo). I added a little fun

and changed it up a bit. They loved it!

These are wonderful somewhat new colors for me. I have
fallen in love with this combination!
I took several photos of one seagull in Carmel, California with
the intent to paint something unbeknownst to me at the time,
and am happy to say that I like it! This gives me incentive
to do more - maybe a monochomatic. This little seagull
didn't know how much he would be loved!

Well..we were at the Supreme Court building in Washington DC.,
so I thought an appropriate title would be 'Holding Court' as that is what
they appear to be doing in an abstract sense of the phrase.
Somehow this photo emerged with more ochre colors, and
I loved the difference in this one and 'Who's Calling' that I have
posted previously. I love the light and shadow!

This is another painting of two of my daughters engaged
in conversation. Must be 'confidential'. I've tried this in
a different technique. Very little paint is used - it's
thinned with paint thinner and appears to be a
watercolor and I can hardly wait to get to the point
to scribble ! Anyway, it's fun and freeing. Enjoy!

O.K., so I traveled to Washington DC with my beautiful
daughters for my birthday, and everywhere we go, I coerce them
to 'pose' for me of which they now have become acquiescent.
Here we are at the Supreme Court which was on the list
because two of them are attorneys and one is an interior designer
and an unbelievable artist, so the architecture and the representation
of this building was a must!
To me, they make wonderful models, but because of my
signature style of 'featureless' faces, they can become
anyone. Therein lies the fun of it! The contrast of the light and
shadow in this scene was enticing to me. I hope I have done it justice!

Not really a diptych, but they sold as one. Another of my 'technique'
of a painting within a painting. Subtle, muted colors with just a little
vibrancy and texture added. These turned out a somewhat bright,
so I used one of my tricks and covered them with a wash of
raw umber to tone down.

Another pose of two of my three daughters. They are fun to paint because they are truly model material! Funny how their body language denotes which child they are even without facial
features, which is somewhat of a signature of my figures. They are engrossed in something. Maybe it's showing off an engagement ring or a new mani. Nevertheless, we were shopping in Austin and I asked them to pose. They are getting used to this now after balking about it for a long time. I think they think they ARE models and good ones!

How many artists paint a painting and then call it a self portrait after the fact? Well... it could be me or it could be you or it could be your best friend. That's the fun of the figurative paintings I do without features. Please forgive the irregular outline of the gold (still trying to perfect my photography!) I do like the gold around the edges - a painted frame. I used 'Rub n Buff', a product I use a lot that comes in a little tube that really isn't to be used as paint in a painting, but to me it works great in so many ways. So what's her name anyway?

Can you imagine the tete a tete these 'girls' are having with each other (and maybe the conversation about the few down the way? This painting just flew by and that's a sign of total immersion into it - forgetting time and the world around. It's such a peaceful place to be.
I have discovered a new color that I think I've mentioned previously called Davey's Gray by Grumbacher. I love it! This painting tells so many stories - whatever you want to perceive.

This painting was done on site at an art show at Black Swan Studio in Houston. I've done this several times and although I thought it would be a little inhibiting, it was just the opposite. It was so fun to talk with everyone and explain what I was doing and how it was developing. It sold to one in the audience. What a deal!

This painting began as one image and after working with it quite a bit, became totally another. It took many turns until I was pleased with it. I've used rusted found objects, copper, oil, oil stick, graphite, old wood and sections of other paintings I have done. Never discard anything - when you least expect it, it works!

I didn't really begin this painting to have the feel of watercolor, but as I was doing the preliminary, it felt good just the way it was, so I left it alone. One of the hardest decisions of an artist (that is 'me') is to know when to stop.

A designer in Houston saw this painting in a show and knew her client would love it in her new home. She wanted to do a triptych as the wall where they were to be hung was large. She commissioned me to do two others relating to this one. Somewhat of a challenge, but was actually very fun to do. This is a painting on top of a painting using a new technique I have developed and I love the outcome. They are always surprising. They are going to the framer this afternoon. Stay tuned for the next two. Visit my new technique on my website to view others. Enjoy!

One of my favorites (aren't they all?). Just sold and is going to enhance a dining room wall. This painting began with a beige background, intending to be an abstract. As I pondered it, I decided to add the architecture and make it my favorite style, that being abstract realism. To me it has somewhat of a French feel.

I feel it's a little ominous, yet inviting and the buyer absolutely loved it! Success!

This painting is in my first series of abstracts called 'From Within'. This particular one is going in the Dutch Gallery Art Show in Dallas at the beginning of November. It's a new technique I have developed recently and it's always a surprise in the end.

I have been doing quite a few commissions lately, but have found some time to work on this technique. It's so much fun and now some have become representational along with abstract. I am going to work on this with my adult students and possibly my younger ones. I think they'll have a great time painting and developing this style just as I am.

Things have been very busy lately, but it's felt great. Shows comming up and now the holidays are on the horizon too. Not to mention the upcoming trip with my three daughters to Santa Fe for my birthday. How lucky to be traveling with my daughters to such a fun ands artistic place! O.K., on the other side of my creativity, I've been constructing a bassinet for my first grandbaby due in February. Since I'm not the best seamstress, I'm relying on fabric glue.(don't wince!). It's going to be beautiful, using my grandmother's linens and her guidance and love. She will certainly be there in spirit!

I painted this painting in the window of a store at the Galleria in Houston. Never have done that before and I must admit, it was a little daunting, It actually turned out to be great fun as people would stop and look and visit. I love to paint these horses as I have done several and some the only action paintings I've done. This one is going in the Dutch Gallery Show in Dallas at the beginning of November, but I'm considering it for a private show I'm having this Thursday night. Horse lovers anyone?

I was painting all day yesterday and becoming a little frustrated. I was determined to do something I liked. I ever so quickly sketched two figure paintings in about 20 minutes. Some days are just like that, but when I wake up in the morning, I like to see something that makes me feel good. I definitely believe there's some improvement needed, but I was pretty happy with them - enough to do more. They were so fun to just do it without hardly a bit of thought. Maybe I shouldn't think so much!

One of my favorite subjects is figurative, but I've always painted and not just drawn. It was suggested to me to draw. I've been teaching my students to draw using an HB and a 2B pencil. I thought it was about time I went out on a limb myself and tried to tackle this, and so... you're viewing my first. It was so peaceful to draw and I loved it! I used an HB, 2B and a 4B along with charcoal - the works! This is something I want to continue and practice, not just nudes but all types of figures. Stay tuned!

The client specified that she wanted flowers and that is something I rarely paint, but what the client wants, the client gets! I was pleasantly surprised and must've been 'on' because I loved it and so did she and that, my friends, IS the best feeling ever!

This painting went through many stages before completion - but I finally did it! Although I love painting with oils just about more than anything, this was a lot of fun to do. I guess my signature figurative painting is 'faces without features' - it's oh so mysterious!

This painting was a joy to paint. As I paint my figures without features, I feel it gives the viewer a sense wonderment as to what the mood and thinking is of the subject. Where do you think they are going? It draws you in.
