FAVORITE PAINTING OF 2010

The Watering Hole

Magnificent Blue

Banana Blossom

snow, Snow, SNOW !

It was just two weeks ago, that we had a white Christmas. I think that was a first! But this past Sunday, January 9, we had the third largest snowfall in north Alabama in over 50 years. We had around 7 1/2 inches of snow.

The largest snowfall was in 1964. I remember that I was in the hospital at the time and all the kids were calling me , wanting me to come out and play and I couldn't , of course. Poor me :-(

The second largest snowfall was in 1987. I remember that one also. LOL  I had to walk a couple of blocks to get home. Brrrrrrr-cicles!

Anyway, this snow was wonderful to behold, but it has cause many business' to be closed and the school closed all week. We just don't have the snow equipment needed here in the sunny south.

Enjoy this little fellow. :-)

Stormy Days

Here is a painting I made about 30 years ago.  I painted them with both panels pushed together and then framed them separately. It was a fun afternoon, practicing with my palette knife. 
My parents have had them hanging in their living room all these years.
They are also featured this month on Huntsville's Art Blog.

Snow De-Lightful!!!!

This past Saturday, we had an impromptu "Snowman" ornament class. These lovely ladies each made two ornaments and had had no prior painting experience .. didn't they do an awesome job?

Pictured left to right is Connie, (me), Barbara, and Judy!   Thanks ladies for coming out. I had a wonderful time getting to know each of you and  I so enjoyed watching your eyes  gleam with excitement as each of the snowman's faces came to life.
