RUDBECKIA'S

Watering cans - an ongoing series of paintings. I'll probably be painting a water can as I draw my last breath. I never tire of painting them. This can has a coat of brick red paint, starting to peel in a few spots. The rudbeckia's are from my sister's yard. Seems like I've heard them called antique sunflowers. I'll be at my sister's all day tomorrow, watching her two sons while she takes her daughter to UVA hospital in the Charlottesville area. Her daughter must visit her doctor at UVA 2-3 times a year to stay on top of her condition. Maybe my sister will let me talk about this some day on my blog. For now if you want to own this little piece (4 1/2"x 4 1/2") or give it to your best friend, then CLICK HERE for purchase information. Thanks for stopping to read.

DRAGONFLY

This is a chunky little painting. It measures 4" x 5" x 1-1/2", so it will stand up all by itself. It's gallery wrapped. I started with goldleaf on the canvas and used a comb type thing to make the swirls so the goldleaf would show through. The closeup shows the dragonfly. If you want to make this yours or need a special gift for someone on your list, just CLICK HERE for ebay! Hope you having a beautiful evening.

OCEAN BREEZE

Here is a happy, summer painting for you. Remember the last time you were at the ocean's edge? That wonderful breeze and all the seaside sounds! The feel of the sand and the sound of the waves? It's been way too long since I saw and heard the ocean. Hoping I get to visit the ocean in Florida sometime in Dec. this year. If you want to own this little reminder (it's 10"x8")just CLICK HERE for info on Ebay. Thanks for stopping in.

MEMORIES

Well - Hello World! It feels like I've been gone a really long time but it's only been a little over a week. My computer bit the dust again! The hard drive had to be replaced. Anyway, a bit about this little 5"x7" painting. I liked the vintage looking coats hanging on the knobs. The light or the ambieance (sp?) or the coziness of all the antique furniture is what made me want to paint it. It feels like home to me.

QUESTIONABLE POTTERY

Some of you may know I have painted several pieces using my mothers pottery. She likes all pottery but especially McCoy. She isn't sure which brand this white pitcher is, hence the name Questionable. Hope everyone is having a good week. I am. I went to Wytheville today to the Reaping Hook Gallery. I needed to swap some artwork. It's owned and operated by Ken and Phyllis Johnson. They are great people and Ken is a wonderful painter, himself. Wytheville is southwest of Salem/Roanoke, just past Va. Tech. (HOKIES). The gallery is right on the main street through town. Stop in, and tell them Sue sent you. If you would like to bid on this piece CLICK HERE. Thanks for stopping in. SOLD

STOCK GERANIUM

I'll bet most of you don't know what a stock geranium is. They are the plants that nurseries and the giant plant producers down south use to cut little pieces from to root for sale to the public. Those beautiful pots of geraniums you see everywhere for sale in the spring came from one of these ugly straggley STOCK plants. CLICK HERE for bidding on ebay. Thanks.

FARM SHED w/ RED AZALEA'S

Some of you may know that Ebay is having a sale on some of their fees. (for the sellers) So I'm posting a few extra paintings tonight. I'll try to keep them short. This artwork is 6" x 9" , an odd size. One of the typical sheds you see all over America. This one is in Ohio. Saw it early morning on a trip to Columbus. A peaceful little painting. CLICK HERE for info on ebay.

GIRLS LIKE TO FISH TOO

I saw this little boat with the people fishing on a trip to Smith Mountain Lake several years ago. Found the photos just the other day when I was moving stuff around in the studio. I like to fish myself but not too many women do, so I found it interesting that this woman liked fishing too. A pleasant, peaceful way to spend time outdoors. CLICK HERE if you want this 8" x 10" painting for a gift or yourself. Happy dreams!

CHECKING ON THE CATTLE

This painting is a composite of several photos. One of the two dogs, one of the horse, one of the rider, and one of the landscape. It was fun and satisfying. Some people still work this way. Hope you like it. This 7" x 5" would be a great gift for almost anyone. CLICK HERE for the auction info on ebay. SOLD

BLUEBIRD ON LILAC

Another piece of artwork from my sister's place. Bluebird's are so-ooooo pretty and lilac's smell so delicious. This is a standard size 8"x 10"-should fit into any standard frame. If you want to bid, CLICK HERE and you go to ebay. Thanks for stopping in. SOLD
