ORIGINAL OIL OF MR BLUE JAY

MR CRAZY JAY
5  x 7 OIL ON PANEL
This bird is confused. He thinks he is a woodpecker. That's what I thought when I heard him pecking on the bird feeder. Something about the light made it appear that his belly was yellow. Reflected I guess, as I could not find a yellow-bellied blue jay anywhere in my bird books.

SELF PORTRAIT WITH RED GLASSES

14 X 11 OIL ON CANVAS
This self portrait is one I did for Carol Marine's Daily Paintworks Challenge.  As usual it was a bad hair day so I put on a hat. (also hoping to detract from the face). I do like the sketchy looseness.  My husband says I look a little solemn and I told him to try smiling at yourself in the mirror for an hour.

PAINTED FUNNY FISH TOWEL RACK

I looked all over for a colorful fish towel rack to put on the pool deck, but could not find one, so I had Ed cut me out a 4 foot fish with perpendicular fins projecting and then painted it.  Now everyone wants one but FORGET IT!!!!  It took way to much time.  I painted it with acrylics and then coated it with marine varnish.

BOATS FROM THE BILOXI BAY BRIDGE

14 X 11 OIL ON STRETCHED CANVAS
SOLD
This seascape with colorful boats, shows the view from the bridge that connects Ocean Springs to Biloxi, Mississippi on highway 90.  This huge bridge was blown away during hurricane Katrina and took near a couple of years to re-open.  One has to be very careful when crossing into Biloxi or the casinos will draw you in and suck all the money out of your pockets.

THE PATTERNED SWIMSUIT

THE PATTERNED SWIMSUIT
I simplified the figures in this painting, describing the figures with only a couple of values using orange and alizarin crimson (shadows). The figure in the background is the block in sketch which caught the gesture nicely. Paying attention to the negative spaces is extremely helpful when working with figures (or anything else for that matter).
