Morning's Chatter, fox squirrel

"Morning's Chatter"

This fox squirrel was in a tree near me while I was out early in the morning doing some photography of a ranch. He was not happy with me, and scolded me very loudly as he ran up and down the tree. I just got a couple of pictures of this very large squirrel, and then he ran off.

This is a very detailed painting that I did a few years ago. I painted every leaf and every hair! Found it in storage today, Enjoy!

Ready to frame.

Just Around the Corner, knife painting, Florida landscape

"Just Around the Corner"

Lori McNamara inspired me for this one. She does wonderful palette knife paintings! I started with the palette knife, but then gave in and finished it up with a small brush.

I love paths, they shout "come and see what is hiding back here . . ." When I was a teenager I used to love to ride my horse on a new trail just to find a new place to sit and take nature in.

Winter Blooms, Florida winter flowers

"Winter Blooms"

These bougainvilleas are blooming in my front yard. Striking colors among the brown grass and leafless trees. It was windy and I didn't stay out long, but I really enjoyed it.

This was my first chance to do any plein air painting in months. After my husband got so sick I stole an hour here and there while he was sleeping. It is so good to have him back! He is about 80% back to his old self. I should say his new self. We are so grateful.

Violets 3, abstract flower

"Violets 3"

8 x 8 inches

Acrylic on canvas

sides are painted, framing is optional

$650.00

I loved the blue reflected light hitting the shadow side of the leaves, so this was exaggerated and then contrasted with the bright yellow and lime green from the sunlit side! I wanted to repeat the colors of the flower, so I used it in the back ground for harmony. This painting was fun to create and just flowed from the brush!

Violets 2, sunlit flowers

"Violets 2"

8 x 10 inches

Acrylic on canvas

NOT AVAILABLE

Here is new version of the same violets. The sun was coming through the leaves and making some very cool colors! I was very interested in the warm and cool contrasts, and the petals of the violets that seemed to repeat the the patterns in the leaves.

I worked on this painting 2 -3 hours at a time, 2 sittings, yesterday and today. It has thick paint and an impressionistic style, which really emphasised the sun's glow.

Enjoy!

Let's Talk About This . . .

"Let's Talk About This . . ."

8 x 10 inches

Acrylic on canvas

NOT FOR SALE

This was way out of my comfort zone! My Daily Painters group is posting self portraits for tomorrows page. So I wanted to paint my portrait to include my husband, Robert Barr. I may work on it some more, but it is close. I painted yellow in the background for the joy he has brought to my life, and the red is for his genuine passion. I added some blue to symbolize my cold shoulder that I often turned his way when we first got married. (We have been married for almost 9 years now.)

His favorite saying is "Let's talk about it . . ." of course talking is not on his mind, and of course, all I want to do is talk about the issues at hand (and not in the bedroom!!!) We have always been able to laugh about it. He usually wins me over. He still has a great sense of intelligent humor, even with all the illness we have had to deal with these past few months.

His beautiful curly hair is all shaved off now (He had a shunt put in his head just before Thanksgiving.) He has lost 13 lbs or more in the last three weeks from having migraines. But today he didn't have the severe headaches he's been having, and was able to eat more than a few bites. We go back to Shands hospital this week to have more tests done and discuss the small tumor that is in his inner ear.

Please keep us in your prayers!

Around the Bend, Florida Sunset

I started this painting of some palms down the road from my house, but it reminded me a lot of the Peace River in Arcadia. So I added the water and played up the weeds.

Iris Abstract, O'keeffe flower

"Iris Abstract"

8.5 x 11.75 inches

watercolor on acid free paper
Ready to frame

$475.00 

I have always been inspired by Georgia O'keeffe's flowers. I thought this one would look great in watercolors. I changed the colors somewhat and let the composition flow the way it wanted as I painted it in without drawing it first. I used to have my students at the high school do this type of art history study. Of course they had to do a report too!

Enjoy!
