Still Life with Chanel's Little Black Book ,  6"x6" Oil on linen Panel S OLD It's so very exciting to see the arts grow in access in Oklahoma. This past week I had the opportunity to see some the artwork of some of my heroes at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. It was such a dream to stand so close to the paintings and take in all those details that are missed when artwork is photographed- the layers of paint, the subtle textures and true colors.  Roses in Glass Vase ,  5"x7" Oil on linen Panel S OLD Still Life with Antique Jar and Onions ,  5"x7" Oil on linen Panel S OLD

Thank you for the happy e-mails, the wonderful advice and sharing of resources, and your kindness and support all around. I've found that simplifying my life can be complicated and messy at first, but I am getting into the swing of things and finding my way around raising chickens, keeping bees, organic gardening and teaching art. During winter break, I started my coop plans--all the things coops had to have and the best way to build it so that that it would not be something my neighbors would mind seeing as they step outside their houses. I must add that I have the BEST neighbors in the world. I bought chickens in March and by April, they were ready to be outside of the broode...

Inspiration: Fixer Upper

Scissors and twine , 5"x7" Oil on linen Panel S OLD One of my favorite shows, specially now that Downton Abbey is over (weep quietly), is Fixer Upper with Jo and Chip Gains. I am so thankful for all the inspiration in grays and the texture of things new in old that they incorporate in the homes they design. The Scissors with ball of twine, is one that I purchased from their website. I've already used it to tie my roses that are spreading in my front porch (I hope those roses are to become subjects for May paintings--crossing my fingers). The eggs below were gifts from a friend. She has the most beautiful collection of chickens that I have ever seen. The eggs represent the gorgeous variety.  Fresh Eggs,   5"x7" Oil on linen Panel S OLD Garlic Still Life , 4"x6" Oil on linen Panel Click to Bid Meyer Lemon Still Life , 6"x6" Oil on linen Panel Click to Bid Radish Still Life , 5"x7" Oil on linen Panel S OLD
