Josephine and Eveyln

This is painting of Harold's mom and sister that died as a baby.   I painted this off an old black and white photo, probably 1947 or 1948.  I thought her hairstyle was very interesting. 

Quick winter scene

This was a quickie I did a few weeks ago, just as an exercise , but  I like  it and decided to post it.  This took about an hour to paint.

Granny's red truck

Mom and I saw some photos of old trucks  on canvas in one of galleries  in Kayenta.   They also showed us some examples of how these photos were used to decorate some very nice homes, it was really interesting to see the contrast of the old and the new.  Mom asked me to paint an old red truck to put on the wall in her Kayenta home over her red leather chair. I think it will be a fun piece of art for her  desert home. 

Autumn Barn

This was a watercolor I did while following a tutorial  on a blog from  Brienne  Brown. I love her work.  I hope I will be able to take a class from her this summer.

Christmas card 2013

This is a watercolor I did for our Christmas card.

Watercolor - sailing

I painted this for a friend. I painted from an old black and white  photo, so I had to come up with my own colors.  There was not a lot of detail on the faces, so I painted very loose and concentrated on the different shades of black and white.  I really love how this turned out. 

Beach Bums

I just had Harold take a photo of my painting, the colors look so much better.  This is Noa and Zoe sunbathing on Pangimotu Island. This painting will always remind me of our difficult, but rewarding trip to Tonga to get our beautiful babies.
