A long overdue update...

I know I have not posted in quite awhile...this was due to a number of things; I went to the Atlanta area, to visit my kids and grandkids, and then brought my oldlest grandson, Aaron, back to Mississippi with me, to help me finish sorting thru' stuff, and fixing some things around the house that I could not do myself.  We worked hard, and my house is now a house, instead of a storage room!  Such a wonderful feeling and I am forever grateful to his mom, and to him for all the help!

I did not paint while I was gone, or while he was here...so I have been trying to make up for a couple months off...haha!!


I did paint a few things after the rose, some of which had time constraints on as far as when I could post them...so I will show you the pre-trip work first.

I hope you like them....

My oldest daughter...Liz


20x16 wrapped canvas

A lighthouse from a verbal challenge, where we got a word picture to paint from rather than a photograph...much harder to do than I thought it would be...
20x24 wrapped canvas...the rocks in front are 3 dimensional done with modeling paste...still am not quite happy with this one, so it may undergo some changes...

Some beautiful morning glories...
10x8 wrapped canvas

An anniversary present for a lady who loves butterflies...
8x10 wrapped canvas

My lovely daughter-in-law, Denise...

Once I was alone, again, I was kind of in a hurry to start painting again...lol  So I quickly did a Christmas painting for the front porch...

While I was at my daughters, I did sketch a bit, and one was of a lady holding a snowball, from an ad for travel.  I could see so much more...
14x11 wrapped canvas

Then, since I had my daughters done, I started on the guys...This is my Mandi's husband, David...they have not seen it yet, and I so hope they like it!!

Then a little something different, because I love the blues...
12x12 wrapped canvas...still have some work to do, and will post the finish later...

Then, I went back to landscapes, and did one based on a quick study I had done earlier this year...
24x20 wrapped canvas...I think I am pretty much done with this one.

This should catch everyone up, on what I have been doing for the last few months.  Thanks for looking!
