'Stacked'

'Stacked' original watercolor on paper 6x6

Hi Everyone,

Hope you had a great weekend:) Here is my completed 6x6 'Stacked'. I once again painted the candlewick dishes that I so love to paint.

If you saw my post last Wednesday I shared with you a few wip pictures. Here are the last of the wip pictures in this series.

L) 'Having A Ball' 6x6, M) 'Candy Apple Red' 6x6, R) 'Stacked' 6x6

I'm also thrilled that all 3 of the pieces I entered into the Randy Higbee 6" Squared show have been accepted. They are on their way to California for the show opening in Dec.

Crawfish on Newsprint

watercolor and ink on paper 6x6 $195.00 BUY NOW

Hi Everyone,

I hope everyone had a nice holiday weekend. We traveled to Louisiana last week to spend Easter with my husband's parents. We had a lovely time. We celebrated by having a crawfish and shrimp boil. As soon as I heard that we were going to do this my mind went to where my mind always goes-- to art! So while everyone one was drooling over dinner, they had to patiently wait while I photographed these beauties. It wasn't until I got home that I realized they were sitting on a newspaper discussing the oil leak and the 1 yr anniversary of the BP oil spill. So a painting was born. I will probably revisit crawfish because they are really gorgeous in color and I got some great shots of them.

I'm also happy to announce that my painting 'Nostalgia' the 6x6 version sold at the Randy Higbee Gallery. The 6"squared show is in full swing and chalk full of gorgeous available art. 'Dinner at Eight' is still available as far as I know, so check out Randy's site and take in the fabulous art.
