Commissions
Recently I was commissioned to paint my impressions of a client's dearly loved Harley Motorcycle. It began as a real
challenge to paint because of all its details. However, as I progressed with it, I really enjoyed painting it. It's show here.
What do you thing of "Love My Harley"?
I accept COMMISSIONS to comply with your individual tastes.
Are you looking for a distinctive piece of art to satisfy a special need?
I can help you artistically portray a cherished possession, or immortalize a visual representation of your home. Some, like my husband, love old automobiles. I can visually recapture that vintage car you once owned (or still have).
You can have your particular mental image depicted on individualized stationary or cards.
Here's a commisioned painting I completed of two brothers in a scene from their summer vacation called
"Brotherly Love".
Their Mom and Dad were quite happy with their likeness.
We love to Travel
My husband and I love to travel. Some of my paintings are inspired by the places we have visited. Next week we leave for Southeast Asia. My husband served in Viet Nam in 1965-1966. He has always wanted to return and now we have a chance to do it. We'll also travel to Bangkok, Thailand and Angkor Wat, Cambodia. I intend to keep a sketchbook and to eventually recreate my impressions in paintings when we return. Look for them here his summer.
We travelled through South America and Patagonia in December. I have sketches of it in my travel journal. However, I really haven't had an opportunity to paint that experience as yet. This was especially exciting because our ship actually crashed into a barge, tying up international travel in and out of the Port of Montevideo for days.
Other countries visited include Spain, Portugal, France, Israel. Jordan, Turkey, Mexico, Costa Rica, and Panama. Most recently we re-visited China. It certainly has
changed a lot since our first visit there in 1997.
The following two paintings were inspired by our travels in Israel. We were there in December, 2006.
Well friends,last night was the reception and awards ceremony for the Snowflake Art Show. This was a juried show sponsored by the City of Rocklin. My "Give a Hoot" won the third place medal in the watercolor category. Also, my "I Remember Mama" won the second place medal in the mixed media category. Pretty exciting!!! Today I volunteered three hours at the exhibit and painted a small painting of a butterfly while I was there.
Here's the butterfly I painted that day. I call it "Butterfly Aglow".
