Awaken the Soul

8 x 16 Oil on Panel. I have a few more changes to make on this painting. However, I haven't posted in a while and I thought I would show this in progress. My Mom is a Qi Gong instructor. She is among the lilies doing "awaken the soul".

Bozo's brother?

8 x 10 Oil on Panel. Some of you may remember a painting I did a while back of a boy with this clown. It was humerus to me because as a youth his father was afraid of clowns. I have been provided with a picture of the brother of my previous subject with the same clown!

Summertime

12 x 12. Oil on Panel. This was from a photo I took at a Water park. It's my nephew on the right and his nephew on the left.

Portland waterworks

This painting is 8 x 16 Oil on Panel. I went back through some of my photos I took a couple years ago to Portland to visit dear friends. This was a water play area. I took out some figures and added some in as I tried to balance the painting.

Abstract Pro

Acrylic on Watercolor paper. 11 x 14. This is another one of my abstract paintings. I find it interesting that I spend so many hours of painting and practicing my skill at realism oil painting and impressionism. However, this happens to be one of my husband's favorites. It certainly didn't take the amount of time to paint. However, I guess the accumulation of the learning of composition and design ultimately bring me to the point where I have the ability to paint simple abstracts. Anyway, the abstracts are a fun diversion from the complexity of my normal routine.

Swan Queen

11 x 14. Oil on Canvas. My niece, Sunny. One of my muses! I am still making some decisions on the background.

Swim with Dad

NFS. 8 x 10. Oil on Panel. Summer time! There is nothing more precious than learning to swim with Dad.
