Paseo Arts Festival


Oklahoma Landscape III 1"x 2" Acrylic on linen 18"SS, $225


Notice the beautiful day in Oklahoma. It is the same type of sky I tried to capture in the Oklahoma landscape pendant above. One of my favorite things about Oklahoma are the open clear skies.
I was very honored to have been invited to exhibit some of my jewelry at Sheridan's gallery, A Jeweler's Art, which looked absolutely fabulous. I posted some of her work below. I am so proud of the work that she has done, both business-wise and her artistic skills.


White Rose Oil on linen 1 1/3"x 1 3/4"
19" SS, Peridot $240


Still-life with Camelia Leaves Oil on Linen 1”x1”
19” chain, SS, Faceted Citrine $190


Wild Rose Oil on Linen 1"x2" SS with 14kg bead
19" SS Chain with Aquamarine and Blue Sapphire $235

To create the necklaces above, I make small linen plaster canvases. Once the painting is dried, I make the silver bezel to compliment the subject. Precious and semi-precious gems are added to the chains for the continuation of color. You are able to purchase these at A Jeweler's Art in Paseo.

These beautiful earrings are part of Sheridan's collection, along with the other two photos below. She has better photos on her website, Ajelewlersart.com.






This Becky Mannschreck next to one of my favorite works of hers. I truly wish my photos were better-I am working on that. You should really go to the festival tomorrow or Monday and see her work in its true light.

    I'm excited for you, having your work in a gallery is very nice. I love the miniatures - I too love those wispy clouds on a brilliant blue day.

    I make little “boards” out of plaster molds that I have created from large cabochons, buttons, or anything else that I thought was a great shape for pendants. I then place some linen on top with sizing. Gesso the whole canvas—top, sides, and bottoms.

    I put together a still life, and create my painting. After the painting is dried, I brush on an even coat of liquin and when that is dried I put 3 coats of varnish.

    The silver bezels I do last, so that they compliment each individual painting.

    Thank you for the visit. I hope you come again.

Labor of Love

Sunflowers in Cobalt Blue Vase,   Oil on 5 "x7"   Linen Panel SOLD  Private Collection in San Saba, TX First, I must say that everything I paint is because I absolutely love. I don't like to paint things that I don't find to be attractive to me for one reason or another. Sometimes it's sentimental reasons and other times it's as simple as beautiful colors or the texture. Either way, it's something that I want to capture and stare at for long periods of time. I want to study it and how it affects the environment around it, as in the case of Sunflowers in Cobalt Blue Vase does. In that respect, I feel ALL my paintings are a labor of love.  More often than not, I have to create a painting, wipe it all down, and start all over again if something is just not working. Some never get completed and I just end up painting something totally different on that panel. Then there are some, that I just have to paint, no matter how much trouble they are giving

A bit more Flow Blue (or Flo Blue)

Pink Roses in Flow Blue,   Oil on 6 "x6"   Linen Panel SOLD Private Collection in  Langhorne, PA  School is about to start again and it seems when it does the Holidays are close by and time goes faster. I decided this week I would "make" things go a little slower to get myself to relax. I get a lot of inspiration from so many other blogs, for my home and for my art. So, I went to several blogs that I've loved for so long, but really got to stay for a while. It was absolutely indulging--I wish I could do that more often.  There are times when I "have to" paint a certain item and I search and search as it nags at me until I find it. That was the case with the snap dragons below. I was thrilled to find them after most of June and July searching for them. I think they are perfect with the pink carnations. Although I am also working on a painting that is just the snap dragons. I did have to go a bit bigger than my usual paintings on this one in orde
