"Bart" 18 X 24 Oil on Canvas

All dressed up with somewhere to go, thats Bart. He is a young fellow with alot of goals and dreams in mind. He is confidently walking in the direction of his dreams. For now he is working in sales but his real dream will be to attend Law School. He is saving every penny, and we know that with his enthusiasm for life, and passion for his goal, he is sure to be a fine Lawyer!

"Monica" 18 X 24 Oil on Canvas

"Monica" is a piece that I did with such artistic liberty. She is young and confident. I really enjoy doing hair, adding alot of colors in my faces, and again her winsome smile. She has a great outlook on life and encourages everyone in her path! Way to go "Monica"

"80's Rockstar" 18 X 24 Oil on Canvas

Working with faces is such fun. This characature happened as I got carried away with hair and highlights. I was working with basic shapes and this piece evolved. Some think its a guy, some think it a girl. What to do , I was simply having a great time, so I called it "80's Rockstar" cause of that big hair. Another piece from my "Wonky People" Series. Hope you enjoy that "Big Texas" hair!

"Debonair Dave" 18 X 24 Oil on Canvas

A while back I had noted that last summer I worked on a "Wonky People" Series. I'll be posting a few of these characters now. My aim was to have fun and celebrate life, capture emotion. Here we have "Dave" looking so fine in his working attire. You gotta love that winsome smile. He doesn't seem concerned that his bangs are uneven, he is just simply having a great day. Gotta love that attitude of his. Rain or shine, Dave is looking "Debonaire"

"Heads or Tails" Mixed Media on paper

This week found me working in mixed media once again. I've come to realize that I really enjoy the layering process. You get lost in time and just keeping pressing forward. Its even more enjoyable with a great cup of tea. Roonie and I had a great tea time together!

"The Grand Opening" 11 X 14 Acrylic on Panel

Here is the second attempt on the previous lovely roses. The yellow one was opening so beautifully, it just felt right to capture this in acrylic. I chose a purple background, and it should come as no surprise as one of the forever colors on my palette is purple. After all, "Life is better with purple in it!"

"Rosebuds" 11 X 14 Mixed Media on panel

Last week as I walked around the supermarket these roses caught my attention. All those beautiful, vivid, colors calling out my name. The selection was indeed stunning and the price was right, so whats a gal to do? Buy Roses, Paint Roses! So with assorted arrangement in hand, creativity filling my soul, off to the studio went I. Here we have the initital attempt of my endeavors.
