My Last Post for the Day



"In Disgrace" is a watercolor.  "Hearts of Flowers"  is an Acrylic.  "Tea Party"  is a Pen and Ink with Watercolor.   All are for sale.  Just E-mail  me if you are interested in any one of these or any of my other works.

A group of Pen & Inks


Our office is decorted with all kinds of African things so I thought this would be a great place for some Pen & Inks.

A Few Pen& Inks


First Acrylics


These are my first Acrylic Paintings.  I had a lot to learn and still do!

Some Old and some New Art



Here you will see some of my older paintings and some newer work.

Some paintings and a Graphite

This Pen & Ink w/Watercolor is called "Granny Sykes".  She is a "Low Country" Woman from the South.  I like to do people and have made a lot of "character" drawings and paintings.  Some people are very interesting subjects!!

I sold a painting similar to this one only the woman wanted a Gazebo in it.  She got her wish I put a Gazebo and a Victorian lady sitting on the side.  This painting is for sale.  "Picking Flowers at the Bridge".  It's an Acrylic painting.  If interested in this or any of the others contact me by e-mail or phone.
I call this painting "After the Wedding".   It is a watercolor.This painting "Samantha's Field" is one of my favorites.  It was done with only two colors; white and Sepia.  It was an unusal affect and I liked it.

Most of the works are for sale.  Some have sold but I always take pictures of my work that is completed.

Books and Illustrations



I'd like to post a few pictures from my two books.



These are the originals which hang in my Studio.  They, of course, are not for sale but the books are.

"Gone Fishing"


This is another example of my watercolors that are for sale.

Watercolor Print


This is a print of a watercolor I did made much smaller.  I'm trying to find the original picture in my files.

Cards

I do a lot of Pen & Ink work.  In fact both of my books were illustrated and the covers were done with Pen & Ink.  I teach Pen & Ink w/Watercolor.  I have made a lot  of cards from my Pen & Ink drawings-- then I hand paint them so everyone gets an original card!


More Paintings


I have made prints of some of my Art.  I sell both original and prints.

"Women in the Garden"



My daughter-in-law's favorite Artist is Monet.  I reproduced this for her and gave it to them as a House Gift

when they bought their new home.

Some more Pieces


I know I should be more organized.  Maybe doing this Blog will help!

Some of my Artwork (some sold).

Artwork






These pictures are some of my older works.

"Chocolat" Drawing by Lautrec




I had posted this earlier but it didn't come out right. This is a reproduction of Lautrec's drawing of "Chocolat". It was used as a magazine cover in 1896.

Lautrec's Jane Avril


My picture disappeared again. So I am posting the poster I reproduced for the Fine Arts Festival 2009. I must be doing something wrong to keep losing my pictures. I will try to correct it.
