Painted Bunting

Painted Bunting

5x7, oil on board

$45.00

I have been trying to challenge myself this month by painting and posting daily.

Even though I haven't posted every day, I have painted most days.

I have been completing commissions for Christmas gifts,

and I am preparing for another show.

After a busy week, I really just needed to paint for the joy of it.

So, I turned on the music, made a ponytail, and lost myself.

What a joy to paint for pure pleasure!

As as result, I am pleased with my little bunting.

Happy Painting!!

Talent Challenge

14x11 oil on canvas

Not for sale

Our church is doing a Talent Challenge. It is based on the parable of the talents.  
Everyone was given the opportunity to take an envelope with a ten dollar bill in it.  
We are to use the talents God has given us to multiply the money we were given.  
We were instructed to use the $10 to buy supplies or whatever we would need to turn that money into as much money as we can before November 15th.

I posted this painting on Facebook this past Monday and opened it up for auction bidding.
It was fun to watch the bidding take place, and I am happy that a good friend was able to get the painting.
She had purchased a painting earlier for her mom, and she is keeping this one!
The proceeds will go toward school supplies for a local elementary school.

Have a great day!

6x6, oil on canvas

Day two of my November painting challenge.

Spent much of this rainy day  working on various birds.

I love them, but find them a little difficult.

Hopefully they will become easier as I go.

This canvas is 1.5 inches deep and painted on all sides.

I am happy to do this in other sizes.

Enjoy your day, and thanks for stopping by!

Untied

Untied, 8x10 oil on canvas

$65.00

I found this little boat on a recent beach trip.  

I am drawn to these little guys, just waiting for someone to untie them.

This is one of the pieces that will be included in the 2016 calendar.

The calendar is filled with my paintings, one for each month.

They will be available soon!

I'll keep you "posted."

Thanks for stopping by.

Just Waiting

8x10

oil on canvas board

$55.00

This little boat was moored at a small  beach this summer in Morehead City.

 I enjoyed watching it bob around all afternoon, and couldn't wait to get home and paint it. 

 I love the lights hitting the blues and oranges.
