My latest completed painting is a 5x7 acrylic that I donated to VolleyGirl's school fundraising gala last Saturday evening. SuperSpouse and I attended and had a great time with our friends and looking at all the silent auction items. I sold bingo cards for an hour or so and that is pretty fun as well. I am well into another "Maytagarama" and my goal is to get those out of here by Turkey Day. A friend of mine owns some laundramats and asked me to do 14 old washing machine themed paintings. It is not exactly a subject matter that does it for me but gives me some compensation!
Originally I was going to put an image of His Royal "Hine"ness, the Canine Messiah or as I call him -Fat Bastard, (Apollo the English bulldog, four-legged, mechanical-tailed ruler of our abode) on our jack-o-lantern. I did not leave myself enough time to do it after working on his heavenly image for a bit. I had to punt (yep, football term) and went with "THE" A. Then the time, actually, the sun was setting on me and I had to decide to put in the "Roll Tide" - not as perfected as I would like, but the message is clear. If only I could have added the #1 on Friday! Some of my newer blog friends, Alabama football may be foreign to you......in a nutshell, around here it is right up there with the election. (For many in this part of the country, it would be more important!) SuperSpouse attended UofA and BigBoy is there now. We're No. 1 ! Yeah!

Super tree painting. Hope it brought in super money for the auction. :) Thanks for comment on my blog today. Cracked me up. LOL
ReplyDeleteyou are very good at trees! you should check out Jerri Lisk at http://www.rovzargallery.com/main/lisk1.html. Her work is more abstracted but her color pallette reminds me of yours.
ReplyDeleteps thanks for your comments on my blog! Makes me feel like I actually have readers. At least one, anyhoo. I responded to a couple comments on my blog because I never know if I should email the commenter, or respond to the comment on their blog, or what.
Thanks for the compliments! Karin, I checked out Jerri Lisk's gallery,very nice. I am flattered to have even the slightest of similarities to her work. I know what you mean about readers, finally worked up to 6 comments the last two posts....record for me....must have scared them off this post, hmmmmm, I bathed, go figure. Enjoying my new blog buddies!!!
ReplyDeletelove the colours.ha ha love your comments about blogging buddies,all i did was go to other people regularly, and then they started commenting on mine (it's called nagging!) ha ha!
ReplyDeleteI like your tree paintings. I like trees anyway. I've tried painting them, but can't get them just right.
ReplyDeleteGREAT TREE!!!!! Don't you just love the fall?
ReplyDeleteI hope the auction went well.
I can see you love fall as much as I do! Great tree!!! I can hear the leaves falling off and getting crispy under-foot!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your heading. That is GORGEOUS. Did you paint that?
ReplyDeleteLove your tree and the morning glory! In answer to your question..my "dolls" are made of fabric,stuffed and then entirely hand painted. Some have paper mache heads and hands. I haven't done an English bull dog yet but it was on my list!
