Ginger
Sold. Ginger, oil on linen, 6”x6”. Ginger was a Chocolate Lab that belonged to a dear friend—my “painting buddy”, Veila. Ginger passed away about 2 years ago, but Veila still misses her. So, I painted Ginger for Veila’s 95th birthday.

Sparky
Sold. Oil on linen, 6”x6”
I painted several commissions and gifts for Christmas, and I can post some of them now since Christmas is over, and they are in their new homes. I truly love painting animals! I have a few more commissions to paint for January and February, and I’m working on them now.

Willie and Bo
Oil on canvas, 6”x8”
Sold. Willie and Bo are my doggies, my therapists. The hardest part of this was finding the right pictures. I take a lot of pictures of them but hardly ever together. And painting them from life was out of the question—they’re never still except when they’re asleep.

My Back Yard
My Back Yard is an 8"x10" plein air oil painting on canvas that took me 3 or 4 sessions on my porch to complete. Light changes so fast early in the morning that I only had about an hour each morning to work on it. My back yard is a peaceful retreat from daily stress. The colored stone walkway leads from the garage to my studio door.

The Firefly
SOLD The Firefly, oil on canvas, 10 x 20 x 1 1/2 inches. The Firefly was a passenger train with the Frisco Lines from 1935 to 1960. It served the Kansas City, Tulsa, Oklahoma City route. This is a commission that I just completed. It was a lot of fun to paint.

The Gift
Oil on gallery wrapped canvas, 18 x 24 x 2 1/4 inches. (The painting continues on the sides of the canvas.) This is a scene from our farm in central Texas. The sun was rising, and casting a golden glow on everything. Mist was rising from the pond which was still in the shadow of the distant trees. What a beautiful morning my dad and I witnessed from the hilltop! I still miss him terribly, even though he moved to heaven over 8 months ago. I've painted many paintings en plein air at the farm and from photos I have taken there. It's a place of inspiration for me.

A Eureka Moment
SOLD Oil on canvas, 12 x 12 x 1 1/2 inch gallery wrapped canvas. (The painting continues around onto the sides of the canvas.) We have lots of ruby throated hummingbirds right now. I think it's migration season. I took pictures of many of them and of my hanging baskets and put pictures together for this painting. I am donating it to the auction at the Museum of East Texas fundraiser, Dinner and Dancing, which is this weekend.

Solitude

pond on my son's property in East Texas. I painted this from a photo I

country. This painting is presently displayed in the annual Angelina
College Faculty Exhibition through the end of September.

July Morning
July Morning, plein air, oil on canvas on panel, 12 x 9 inches. This is another park painting, but I used "artistic license" to add water where there was no water. It was a beautiful morning to be painting in the Grace Dunn Richardson Park.
