Red Queen


Red Queen 5" x 7" --oil-- This was a wedding present for a friend I knew in High School. Specifically, he was in my art class and kind of tortured me for my methods, taste and subject matter. He went on to become a high school art teacher, himself, which shouldn't surprise me. After reconnecting on Facebook, he has encouraged me in many ways, as I developed my skills. He encouraged me to dedicate a space for painting, to switch to oil, to keep going. Although I have had many arguments with him in my mind about many things relating to art,  he has been a great resource and support. I can't wait to meet his new bride.

Where have all the marbles gone?

I honestly am throwing these paintings up here, because I like them, they have sold, and I want a place to quickly show people some things I have done. I have not painted since March, and don't expect to until September. I had a family emergency that has kept me from doing the thing I love. I need to reorganize everything in a way that makes sense to me. Technology makes it hard because it keeps changing. The only thing you can count on, is change.

Adolescent

Adolescent 24" x 18" Oil on stretched canvas June 7, 2017    In the flurry of my show last year, I did not post several paintings. I had meant to build a new site and post them there, but my dog got sick. A little like "my dog ate my homework" but it's true. It took up several months right around the time of the show and I just never did post some of those paintings. I am in the process of setting up a better site now, but I thought I would post this one, since I submitted it for a juried show, recently. The whole time I was painting it, I was thinking the word, "agress." It would just pop into my head. But when I finished the painting, the emotional reaction I felt was sometimes aggression, but sometimes something other than that. Something like candy. Appeal. My daughter said, "It's just like adolescence. You should name it that. So, I did. By the way, my dog is doing okay.
