ORIGINAL SMALL PAINTING BLUEBIRD HOUSE

 

Hey Friends,  Before you know it, it's going to be Mother's Day again.  Most of the last 20 years I have been working an art show on Mother's Day so my girls had to wait for the celebration.

 

Most Mother's don't NEED a thing but something pretty like a small piece of art work would be a happy thing to receive.  My girls never would have thought to give me art !  ART! of all things.

After all that's what I do .

 

Of course I would never have told them either.  I really need nothing.  And they were struggling to make ends meet like most families.  I'm very proud of what they have accomplished and how well they are caring for their own children.

 

So if your Mom doesn't NEED a single thing, think about giving her a permanent little piece of Nature's Beauty.  You just never know.

"RWP Eggs" for Mothers Day

Hey Friends,  Maybe your Mom would like a more colorful home for her chicks.  Here it is !
A red nest with turquoise eggs.
Eggs are a symbol for home, nest, children, and fertility.
The auction ends tomorrow, so check it out HERE.

 

And for some fun news. . . .I got to paint outside today !  This evening as the sun was getting low.

I have painted from this same spot about 3-4 times since the iris started blooming.  I intend to show you the first attempts also but I wanted to go ahead and share todays effort. 

Mainly because I think I did a much better job than usual.

Most of my plein air efforts are too dark when you bring them indoors.  From what I have read, lots of plein air newbies do this too.  It's VERY difficult for me to SEE this when I'm going full-tilt in the sunshine.  I guess you get used to it at some point, with enough practice.

Anyway, I feel like this one is pretty good.  Any comments or helpful suggestions are welcome.

 

Thought I would throw in a couple shots as I worked.  I'm not very good at stopping enough to get shots.  A timer would help.

 

This shot I'm pretty much finished.  So I will live with it for a while and decide what to do with her.

"Mourning Dove Eggs" Original Painting for Mothers Day

Hey Friends, Are you still looking for a present to give MOM ?  It is right here.  It is in a simple silvery frame, ready for display and gift giving.
Eggs are a symbol of fertility, family, home, children.  I had one local collector order a nest painting with eggs for each child and grand child.   The number of eggs matched how many children each child had.  The grand kids had only one egg. 

This is for auction in Ebay starting at a penny.  The auction ends Wed, the 7th.  So there should be plenty of time for shipping to receive by the 9th or 10th.

FRIENDSHIP Original Painted Collage 6x6

Hey Friends, Hope you are having a Great Labor-Free Day! My work place closed early so I had the time to post this little girl on Etsy. I included a close up of the bottom edge so you could see the mini-dragonflies. It's just a thick layer of acrylic gel with the impressions of dragonfly and the actual DF embedded.
Have a wonderful week!
Happy Trails.

CLUSTER OF POPPIES

This small piece , 6"x6", is a view from the back yard, looking up a small hill or ridge. It is especially pretty with the evening light. Over the years there have been horses or goats or cows in this little pasture. At the moment there are no animals, so the vegetation has had a chance to grow a bit. I painted this with acrylics on canvas panel and it is varnished. It would make a nice gift for an art enthusiast. CLICK HERE to visit ebay and bidding.

Glad you could visit again.
