"Art Bug"

"ArtBug"

oil on board, 5" x 5"

This was my bug, I should say my last bug, but I had to sell it as we don't have a garage. It was quite challenge to paint as it had such a crazy paint job. You would recognize it if you ever saw it. I'll paint another one someday, the actual VW bug I mean.

"Bitten"

"Bitten"

oil on board, 5" x 7"

SOLD

Getting ready for my big show and just squeezing in a few small paintings while I can and hope they dry in our hot weather. I can't do this later in the year when we are steeped in rain. We have had an incredible summer in the northwest, the kind that makes you not even think about leaving in the depths of November rain. I have soaked every minute of sun I can.

"With Almonds"

oil on canvas, 36" x 48"

I posted this already but got a better picture of the actual colors this time. It's been hard as it is such a dark piece.

My biggest black cat in the sun with his white toes. 

"Easy Being Green"

"Easy Being Green"

SOLD

Here is one of my favorite frog friends that occasionally hang out in my blackberry bushes. They come for the fruit flies once the berries are on. It's a tree frog no more than an inch. Nature is amazing.

"Coke Can"

SOLD

Always fun to paint these kinds of reflections. I could see doing a large one of these.

"Pink Lemonade"

"Pink Lemonade"

oil on board, 12" x 16"

SOLD

What can I say? It's hot for the Northwest and this is just the ticket, pink lemonade with a lime slice. 

"Taking in the View"

"Taking in the View"

oil on board, 6" x 6"

SOLD

I'm on a VW roll. Guess I am missing mine. Yes, this is the Grand Tetons in the background. My Dad lives in Wyoming so it's about the other state we get to sometimes. They are sure a sight to behold on a clear day. My very first car was a cherry red VW bug but it didn't have the top down feature. It sure was pretty though...

"With Almonds"

"With Almonds"

oil on canvas, 36" x 48"

I have been working on this for quite some time as it is huge. I see a couple of things I'm going to soften now that that I have it photographed (like the red reflection on the bottom edge!) but I like the overall piece. It was also a bit hard to photograph due to it bing such a dark piece as well. The only way I get to eat one of these in my house is to buy them with almonds as the kids don't like almonds!! More for me.

"Fisher Pond"

"Fisher Pond"

oil on board, 9" x 12"

SOLD

I don't often paint landscapes but I loved the blue sky reflections in this so much... This is a real Vashon landmark!

"Stretch"

"Stretch"

oil on board, 8" x 10"
SOLD

I am a bit low on kitty paintings so I had to add a couple for this show...

"Happy Van"

"Happy Van"

oil on board, 6"x 6"

SOLD

I guess I could have also called this "Hippy Van" but it just seemed to be happily on its way down the road, not worrying about speed or anything at all. I miss my bug dearly now that it is summer but it's the winter that kills an old car out here. Maybe I will have another one someday... only if we have a garage too!

"Angry Birds"

"Georgina"

oil on board, 6" x 6"

"Butterscotch"

oil on board, 6" x 6"
SOLD

"Gnocchi"

oil on board, 6" x 6"

These three make up my "Angry Birds" trio. They are all hens and are pretty tired of putting up with the rooster. I have seen them all take after him on occasion so thought I would capture the mood. I wish I had a stare that good, it might keep the kids in line!
