My Cup Runneth Over It really does you know. I have been blessed with so many things. I have plenty of food on my table. I have a good job. My husband and family love me. I am warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Why I even have a loyal little dog who always wants to give me a hug. What more could I want? 6x8 oil on canvas panel.

Feed The Children

Image
Feed The Children I found a photo of this little bird but it was missing a little something. You see he did not have a worm but I thought to myself... every bird needs a worm so now I had a squiggley worm hanging out of the little birds mouth...what now? I was going to name this painting Christmas Dinner but the more I looked my heart was touched and I knew the name must be Feed The Children... So that is how a painting is named. It is done only after much thought and consideration. Is that how your painting is named? 5x7 Oil on canvas panel

Shiny And Bright

Image
Shiny And Bright Once upon a time when I was very poor during a dark dismal time in my life this Beautiful Christmas ornament became mine. I went Christmas shopping with my sister. I had no money so I really went Christmas window shopping. I was so sad and depressed but I just went along because she ask me. As we shopped I saw this lovely ornament and I fell in love with it. It was quite expensive so definitely out of question. A few days later my sister brought a plain white box wrapped up and tied with a pretty bow. I opened it and to my delight was this special ornament all shiny and bright. I can still remember the happiness I felt...why in fact I still feel it now. I hope that your Christmas will be shiny and bright and may you receive something totally unexpected. In fact why don't you give someone something they would never expect. Who knows maybe 30 years later they may still remember and do a post about it. 6x8 Oil on canvas panel

Twist and Shout

Twist and Shout 6x6 Oil on canvas panel. Boy does it feel funny not to say acrylic. I did have fun at the class. I am undecided as to what I should do from here. I love the butteriness of oil but I am so used to acrylic. Any suggestions? Oh well! I guess I will follow my heart???

Escaped

Escaped Escaped is how I felt today as I attended an actual OIL painting class with Carolyn McDonald in Birmingham. I was whispering under my breath I think I can, I think I can.
