Jar Head

Image
Jar Head Do you remember those wonderful little glass baby food jars? I am older and have little reason to peruse the baby food isle but the last time I did go there what I saw was a lot of plastic square boxed. Now just what can you make out of that. Certainly they do not compare to the glass jars. Oil on 6x6 gallery wrapped canvas Available in my DPW gallery. Follow the link to purchase per PayPal

Christmas Gathering

Hang Over

I Escaped

Image
I Escaped Look at that delicious pie. Sweet and tart just like grandma used to make. Guess what? I am sitting her saying this only because I am so clever. Yep...I got away, I escaped. Right when they  were reaching for me I rolled right off in the floor and hid under the table. I snuggled up real close to the leg and then I smelled that wonderful aroma and knew that I was safe. A hand picked me up and placed me right back on the table so near that piece of pie that I can still feel the warm heat from the oven. Almost seems as though I am goodying them. Well I kinda am goodying them. So glad that I escaped and  will be around to tell this incredible story to my grandchildren. Oh no....Oh no....tell me it ain't so they are  coming back to get me. She is licking her lips and she ain't looking at that pie. Here I go again.  Splat I am on the floor again.....Give me a little hand how bout you say a little prayer for me right now. I might not be so lucky next time.............. SOLD

Chosen

Image
Chosen Why are we in this jar while y'all are out there? I am worried, I am fretting, I am  a little sad well that was until I realized that sometimes things are not what they seem. Sometimes when we are in an unlikely situation it is because we are special. It is because we are chosen.

When The Sun Is Shining.

Image
When The Sun Is Shining I found this photo of a still life setup with the sun streaming in the window. It  made for nice stripes in the background. I am pleased with this one. Today another new color introduced. The color today is another Master's Touch from Hobby Lobby. Again poor pigment but still nice color. Blue Grey. I did like it I will be experimenting more in the future I think. 6x6 oil on gallery wrapped canvas No longer available.

Saving Grapes

Image
Saving Grapes I usually paint with a limited palette but sometimes feel a little  stagnant in that. I find that without really meaning to I always use a lot of blue.  I decided to try some new colors for a fresh change. Only one new color was  introduced besides my norm. The new color is Master's Touch from Hobby Lobby.  The color is not artist grade but is still nice if you can look past that. Today I used a nice blue called LT GRAPHITE I will use it again.  Oil on 6x6 gallery wrapped canvas. This is for auction or sale at DPW check out my gallery there.

Apple Happy

Image
Apple Happy I guess I named this because both apples and the color red make me happy. Speaking of happy I was at a dept store today and a young woman was talking on her cell phone but what  caught my attention was that she had an infectious smile on her face. No giddy laughter or chuckles, Just a sweet sincere smile. It really did make me smile. Sometimes I have noticed myself talking to someone about nothing really but I realize I am smiling. Doesn't it feel good when that happens? 6x6 oil on gallery wrapped canvas This painting is for auction on DPW or for sale there please check out my gallery

Totally Comfortable Well actually I am a little insecure but you would never think it if you knew me. I always seem over confident like I am sure of myself but really I am co-dependant.
