Mama

Posted in daily painter, Small Town Life, tagged family, mama on January 28, 2011| 6 Comments »

Today would have been my mom’s 69th birthday. We lost her in 1994 of cancer at the young age of 52.

She was a beautiful person.

You can see by the teddy bears on her shirt in this photo that she loved kids and was a kindergarten teacher. She loved it!

I recently went through old photos and scanned a bunch of them (thanks Carol for the scanner!). So I decided to post several of Mama today, hopefully in chronological order.

She was a wonderful pianist and taught kids after school.

Here are some other photos of her over the years, most with family members, including me.

I miss her everyday!

Papillion is an acrylic on canvas measuring 12″x12″. SOLD! This is the third in the series of dog paintings that I am working on for the upcoming show. This one reminds me of our friend Sammy that we see when we walk around the neighborhood. He loves my dogs so much that if we don’t stop and visit with him he will tunnel under the fence and follow us!

Dog Park

Very soon I will be asking for you all to help us as we move into the final phase of the dog park project. We need to raise money! Surprise, surprise. The good news is that everything is in place and we should have a park by the end of the year.

This watercolor painting is one I did several years ago when we kicked off the Dog Park project. I will be painting more dogs shortly for a show that will feature dogs and help draw attention to the project. Please stay tuned and if you can help we would really appreciate it.

Jed

I started this painting of Jed last Wednesday night in Adult Art Class. I used a photo by Sandra Patterson as my reference photo. I just love this look.

This is the beginning.

The next night at the Thursday class I had a few more minutes to work on it.

Last night while I waited for a couple of new students for a private lesson I took a few minutes to work on Jed again.

I may decide to tweak a few things after it dries a little but for the most part he’s done. Jed is an oil on canvas panel measuring 8″x10″. He’s not for sale. 🙂 He will go on my wall at home joining portraits of Truman, Jeffie, Boo and Rosie. Next I’ll have to work on Lincoln.

Cute Pup

Posted in daily painter, Dogs, tagged daily painting, Dogs, Virginia Artist, West Virginia on January 17, 2011| 3 Comments »

No new paintings today. I spent part of the weekend recovering from food poisoning. NO FUN! We were out at the cabin so I have cute puppy pictures to post. For some reason Lincoln kept sticking his face down in the ditch where the snow was deep. Not sure what he was after but he ended up with snowface!
