Blacktop Sam

Painting familiar objects is so much fun. Yet I found a photo of my cousin from years ago and challenged my self to recreate my cousin from years ago. Based on an old photo and memory I began by marking in oil paint on a canvas the dimensions of his face. Once I had everything in proportion I under painted the darker areas and determined where the light was. His eyes were fun ,his skin was always dark from being an asphalt paver but his eyes were light. I loved the contrast. So it took me about an hour to complete. I will try to do another soon. This left me feeling that you can take a familiar and make it speak volumes. His sister came to visit me and I sent it home with her. So good bye to Blacktop Sam maybe I will get to see him in person this summer after 24 years.

Heron

I have recently framed a few paintings and have some of them on display throught the town I live in. This is one that is for sale. I painted this on a 16x20 canvas in oil. It is very colorful painting and the picture really doesn't do it justice. It was done in my original studio in Alabama, back in 2003. We lived on a beautiful lake and this was based on the lake we lived on. It is on display at Ashley Furniture in Waycross Ga. If you would like it email me for the price.

Happy Fathers Day

My husband is an avid fisherman. His favorite outfit is a fishing vest a big straw hat and a fishing pole. He graciously posed for this. So to all the fishermen out there, don't let the big one get away.
This is an oil painting done in the alla prima way(wet on wet all on one sitting] I first sketched in the the composition and loosely painted in the details. It is done on a 8x10 professional canvas board. Contact me if you would like this painting or wish me to paint something for you.
