Sorry this painting has a lot of glare. But more importantly if any one would like to see pictures of my son, Will (also known as Matthew) at the Mother's Day Classic click here. I am so proud of him!!
In this one I am playing with reflections again. Once I began using the water puddles, many new ideas opened up. Just a reminder, the 20th Street Gallery in Sacramento is having it's Second Saturday opening this Saturday from 6 till 9. Come if you can. It is always fun.
I really like the reflections here. Just a reminder...the second Saturday is the Saturday and the 50/50 show will have an opening reception if you were not able to go to the first one. Find some beauty in each day!!! :)
This pastel is about the nausea and altered mental state that chemotherapy has on the mind. No it is not a pretty picture, it is about suffering. This is the last call to anyone who would like to support my son in his Mother's Day Classic, fundraiser for breast cancer research. Click here to sponsor him. No amount is to small.
This one is inspired by the Costa Cherry orchard after a rain. The 50/50 show is being rehung as we speak and will have a second opening on May 9th for second Saturday in Sacramento, Ca. Hope you can come if you live in the area. We are having liquid sunshine that we desperately need. Our well on the ranch is not working again...the 5th well problem we have had in 4 years. Out here the only water comes from our own wells.
I love painting and the world around me is amazing. Life is to short and I want to see the best in people. I am putting a few drawings on eBay, as I have time. My Etsy store is empty for now, maybe when I retire or finish my M.F.A. or just find some extra time, I may try again. My Blog is more a forum to share what I am painting, my growth, both failures and successes. I am also working on my M.F.A. in painting and working full time as a high school art teacher. I am an 10 year cancer survivor so I have been given a special gift of life and want to enjoy it to it's fullest.
Gold Strike Gifts, 122 South C Street, Virginia City, Nevada is showing my nudes, masks and some select small oils as well as several pastels of cattle. This is ongoing.
