NATURES MAJESTY

Natures Majesty 11" x 14" oil on canvas panel SOLD

This is one of the demonstrations I did in my Vicksburg workshop today. I wanted to show them how to mass and simplify the lights and darks in foliage. I have a great bunch of students and they catch on quick. Vicksburg is a beautiful historic southern town and absolutely a wonderful place to visit. You couldn't find more friendly people If you come here be sure to eat at the Main Street Cafe....EXCELLENT.

TEA CUP WITH LEMON SOLD

5" x 7" oil on canvas panel

Good Morning all! The little painting above was another challenge. That darn saucer kept changing shapes on me. My husband Ed gave me a set of Dalton "Old Country Roses" for one of our anniversaries (OOPs, can't remember which one). He likes to tease me about being Mrs. Bucket ('Boo kay') with my Royal Dalton. That's okay, I call him Onslow. I have used them several times in paintings, more than on the table as you are not supposed to put them in the dishwasher!

This little painting is still very wet and I have not signed it yet. If you are interested in purchasing it please email me.  

I am getting ready to travel to Vicksburg, Ms., to teach a workshop, so you may not hear from me for a few days. I will try to post some of my demonstrations while I am there.
