Purple Pansy - $25.00

5X7" watercolor card on acid free paper. I suppose I'm getting the winter flowers on my mind. I am Painting some larger paintings on 11X17" canvas board for test. I'll be posting some of these soon. Forcing myself to go from thin to thick paint and trying to find the point. Perhaps it is a yearning to somehow combine the watercolor and acrylic.

Stormy Flower - $25.00

5X7" watercolor card, acid free paper. Hey everyone. Trying to get back into the swing of things since the rained out festival. I think I pushed myself too hard, because I'm not very inspired to paint more flowers. Perhaps this little cool spell is making me want to paint other things instead. Was thinking of starting on the daily news events. I always love doing them, though they are not big sellers. I've also had my head tucked away in the dreamweaver book learning more about creating websites. ahg! I might have to paint flowers just to get my mood back after that. Hope everyone had a great labor day weekend. Isn't the weather just fabulous since the storm?

Everett Street Art Show - SOLD. SOLD. SOLD. SOLD.

For the festival show I put my one-a-day watercolor practice to use, and painted three flowers in the style that has evolved. I translated the style from the watercolor to acrylic on canvas. I think it worked out well! and was just as much fun. After the festival, I may start using this acrylic on canvas style for my one-a-day's. Someone special snatched all three up. I am glad they will be hanging together in someone's home.

Shrimp and Petroleum T-shirts - Cease and desist!

As much as I researched and really tried not to use any trademarked infringements with the Shrimp and Petroleum Festival, I still received an official cease and desist notification. So, If you received a shirt from me - burn it! Evidently I cannot use the word... shrimp with the word petroleum... together anywhere. Rather than have to deal with any legalities, I thought it would be easier to come up with something different altogether. From here on out my t-shirts will say Shrimp Festoleum! So, if you're in a partying mood, stop on by the festoleum! And, pick up your festoleum shirt! They're still cool... and my airbrushing is only getting better. See you at the festoleum!!
