MAISY

MAISY

Pastel

This little Pomeranian is the previous little dog's buddy. Maisy and Daisy belong

to our good friends and it was fun to do some pastel work. Yes, Maisy likes to let 

her tongue hang out a bit.

DAISY

DAISY
pastel

Daisy is one of my friends lovely little dogs. She is a Chihuahua mix and very affectionate. One thing is for sure, when painting children and animals, be prepared to take a couple of billion (ha!) photos to end up with anything worth painting. Actually my friend wanted two dogs together but I just loved this short and did this as a practice for myself.

THE COUNT

30th Painting!!!

The Count
8x6 Oil on c/p
NFS


Not the Count of Montechristo ... ha ha. Hot off the presses and another
request from my husband. Having trouble with iphotos. Oh well. Will try

to update later.
I have had so much trouble trying to finalize this blog picture. Computer
just would not co-operate at all. Maybe just didn't think Dracula was a
good idea, who knows. Was only able to capture the head shot and not the
full painting.
I have had a great time in this challenge and I am spending the 1st of February
reorganizing my kitchen from the chaos. Time to get back to a more regular
routine but one that includes painting every day, EVERY DAY!

SCARY SISTER

29th Painting

Scary Sister
8x6 Oil on c/p
$65 US

Yesterday's bride had too much white on the face so I thought I'd try again.  Sure
took a long time, that is when you have to change the eyeballs around! Ugh. One
more painting to go. It is had to believe that the whole month is already gone.
Spent so much time at the easel I kept forgetting to eat, and lost about 6 pounds,
felt like it should have been a hundred :) Hope you like my new girl.

SURE IS GREEN

19th Painting

Sure is Green
8x6 Oil on c/p
$65 US

Today is the green I thought I was painting yesterday! And this painting is more neon
in real life than the picture, go figure. But, I am having fun painting ol' Frankenstein,
just as long as I don't start dreaming of him! Ha! Which one do you like the best?

FRANKIE

18th Painting

Frankie
8x6 Oil on c/p
$65 US

I was going for a green Frankenstein and ended up with blue and yellow.
How does that happen? Being way over there in the right brain has its
own ideas I guess. Had to laugh. Hope you like it. Trying for semi-graphic.

FIRE BIRD

10th Painting

Fire Bird
6x8 Oil on c/b
SOLD

Had fun painting a cardinal again, but it sure
looks bright on the web. Now my friend has
a choice of two paintings. Maybe I will try to
cool down the background next time.
