Gone with the Wind

Yes, it's been a while since I've posted! This year has been a doozie (as we say in Texas). I have been painting but not as much as I would like. I will try to get some of my paintings up for viewing. This is a commission from a friend. It is her 3 granddaughters. The photo is not as bright as the actual painting but it was the best photo I could get for the time being. Thank you for viewing my art!!!

 

Gone with the Wind

Oil on Canvas

11 x 14

Deep Eddy Bath House

6 X 8 Oil on Canvas.  Deep Eddy Pool is a historic, man-made swimming pool in Austin, Texas, United States. Deep Eddy is the oldest swimming pool in Texas and has a bathhouse built during the Depression-era, by the Works Progress Administration. The pool began as a swimming hole in the Colorado River, became a resort in the 1920s, and is today a popular swimming pool operated by the City of Austin.

Last night Nina messaged me about painting this morning. I know everyone was thinking I gave up painting but I haven't. I painted today. Plein air even...

We decided to go to Deep Eddy because Nina thought we might get the West Nile Virus if we went to Bull Creek. I am very happy to have gotten out of the house before the heat of the day and painted. Hopefully, soon we will be out of the 100 degree weather!

My lovely friend Suzanne, had Plein Air Austin group out to paint on their property. This is the log cabin next to their beautiful home. 8 x 10 Oil on Panel.

Duke

8 x 10. Oil on Panel. This is a commission. I had the pleasure of knowing this dog. May he rest in peace. Duke, one of the sweetest dogs I've ever met.

Naughty Cat

9 x 12. Oil on Linen. This beautiful Siamese Cat, Ann, was one of the cats at the Villa in Tuscany. She was a naughty cat because she peed on one of the artists painting bags. However, I'm sure she had good reason. Maybe she didn't like the way said artist was mixing her paints?? Anyway, she was very sweet and we all have a naughty side...

Tuscan Villa

6 x 8. Oil on Linen. This was a plein air painting done at the workshop in Italy. The instructors were Jill Carver and Kathryn Stats. It was a great workshop. I will post some photos of the trip.
