FINALLY ALMOST DONE

I have been working on this painting, for what seems like forever!!! I have finished it all but the final coat. WHEW!!! Don't think Mario characters are my strong point!!!!!!

Paintings in Progress

So with everything going on lately, I have had little if not any time to paint :(

BUT I am working on several pieces that I just had to share.

#1 --- He is a little HOG with the fight song in the background. Cute.

#2......Running hog. I love the marbled background of this one.

OK, so I am not paying attention when loading the pictures and have one more full body HOG with the fight song in the background. I don't know where that picture went. Guess that I will have to post it when it is completed.
#3---Martini Girl, she is fun and almost finished with just a few jewels she will be complete.

#4------This project will take me forever. I had this idea to do characters from one of the Super Mario Games for WIn's room. Well, they are much harder for me to do and will take tons of work. I lost the poster and just began to paint the "people" only to be told that no that man's head is pink and that man is gray......so needless to say I had to hunt up that poster and go by the exact colors and it will take coat after coat to get this one down!!! Might just be finished for CHRISTMAS!!

So these are the latest of my painting madness! Hope you enjoy!

WHOOOO PIG!

Here are some of my HOG paintings. Once again, I am new to taking pictures and will have to figure out some sort of background rather than all my junk in the garage!!

This is a rather funny HOG. I laugh at him every time I see him. He is rather large.

Here is a small HOG. I painted this one to sit in the bookcase. It has a nice golden shine.

I really enjoyed the square canvas.

This is my favorite HOG!

This HOG has already found a home. Glad I took his picture!

The New Blog...

Monday, January 25, 2010

Today I start another blog. I don't do a very good job of keeping up with the family one...so don't know how I will keep up with this one too. I just wanted to share my paintings with people and the family site is really not the place so.....HERE GOES NOTHING.

I use to paint before kids. Isn't it funny how things change and time is of the essence with kids. But saying this I have made some time for me and things that I like. THIS is the only way that I can keep all of my marbles with three little ones. Even though they are not little any more, the battles are pretty much the same. I will also say that my photography skills are not the best when it comes to these paintings. I think it might be the high gloss varnish that is throwing me off! I will play with that and just have to see. So here they are....


This is a larger painting with gold, bronze and a turquoise blue color. The picture turned out rather fuzzy. It is just abstract, as most of my paintings. It is acrylic with a glossy varnish.

36 x 48

This is a smaller painting with rich tones of red, gold, bronze, black and brown.

30 x 24

This is one of my favorite paintings right now. It is several shades of blue with a hint of black.

It has lots of movement .

24 x 24

I had so much fun with this painting. It can be hung in either direction.

I have really been drawn to red lately when painting.

It contains reds, pinks and purples. It too shows lots of movement.

I have enjoyed doing several RAZORBACK paintings. They are my new thing to paint. They will be in posts to come. I have to return to my day job of laundry etc.
