Unplugged Reception

Sunday was my reception for my Solo show "Unplugged".

If you have been following my art blog for a while, then you know that I have been working around the clock to get in my One Hundred Faces finished for the show!

I did it - even though it involved me bringing 6 on my family trip to Montana & Idaho.

Don't feel too sorry for me as this was my little painting area - a gazebo on the cabin grounds right on the Snake River!

And here all all One Hundred Faces hung on a special system that my husband designed so that the panels would hang flat and individual panels could be sold and replaced by a new panel. 

A few shots from the rest of the show and the reception.

I was most happy to have my mom come to support me - she even brought a basket of homemade Biscotti cookies that disappeared in no time!

Ahh....now I can relax.....ooops.....no I can't!  We are having a wedding in our backyard in one month!  So I am off to plant some flowers.


And I couldn't be happier!

#68 - Junie

David, my older brother's birthday would of been today - Flag Day.  So while thinking about my precious moments growing up with him, I painted the above painting of his granddaughter - June blowing out her birthday candle several years ago.  He would of had a blast with Junie Maroony!

Road Trip

"Road Trip"

Over Memorial Day weekend my husband and I took a little road trip through the back roads to the sleepy little town of Crockett.  There was an abstract figurative show at the Epperson Gallery that I had been wanting to see. While the show was amazing, just around the corner there was a little bonus for me.  Luckily I had brought my camera and caught this vintage Airstream & ancient truck parked a few blocks away!

I loved painting all of the reflective surfaces on both vehicles. The painting just flew out of my brushes. It's so much fun when that happens!

#66 - Mika and Max

I also recently finished painting #66 in my series of 100 Faces - my two Westie's - Mika and Max.

#65 But Who's Counting?

#65 - Comeonmomandplaywithme

Can't you just feel the joy in this little guy's face while trying to get his mama to play with him?
