Dothan, Alabama Here I come….

To my art fans and family in the lower Alabama area, I have been accepted in the "Mural City Art Walk" on Saturday, March 7th.  It is going to be downtown Dothan on Foster Street between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m..  I have not been given my actual location yet but will let you know as I find out.

I am so very excited to be in the Dothan area.  I hope my friends, family and art lovers will come out and see me.

New Year New Art

Although I am not officially participating in the 30/30 January Challenge, I have been busy painting to start my New Year off to a great start.

The following paintings are of beautiful Mangoes that I found at the Fresh Market in Destin, Florida.  I believe if I ever get stuck for something to paint that I could go in there and find several things to be my models.  They have the most gorgeous fruit and vegetables.

15/30 September Painting Challenge

6x6 Red & White Fishing Bobber

My photograph of this painting looks far more grainy that the actual painting, although I am not sure why.  I think I am not a photographer but hopefully you can see enough to get the "feel" of this painting.  I was trying to express the water dance that the bobber makes when it hits it.  I hope my fishermen fans will like it.

14/30 September Painting Challenge

8x8 Hot Tub Hot Chocolate

Today's painting is a gingerbread man in a cup of Hot Chocolate.  I envisioned him sitting in the cup like he was enjoying a hot tub bath in hot chocolate.  Can't you hear him sighing? I believe he is happy to be there.

6x6 Carnation 

This painting was inspired by Leslie Saeta's palette knife painting.  I have a lot to learn when it comes to painting with the palette knife but that is what this challenge is all about trying those pieces I have always wanted to paint.

5x7 Grinch $47 Framed

The Grinch has such fun hands to paint.  Couldn't resist this Christmas painting for my September Painting Challenge.  If you are keeping up with all my blogs you already know that my paintings during this challenge are things I have always wanted to paint.  I am really enjoying the variety of my subjects.  I hope you are enjoying this journey with me.
