Bessie with an Attitude

This is an acrylic painting on canvas that I painted this afternoon. I used a pinkish gray underpainting to give it a really warm overall feel. I want to enter it in the All Creatures Great and Small Show my art club is having this week so I used acrylic to be sure it would dry.

Listed Peyton Manning at Auction

I don't think I like this one as well as the Troy Smith painting but I did put a little more time into getting it "right". The background is pretty awesome.

Football Paintings - Peyton is Coming!

I'm producing a new series of paintings featuring college and professional football players. AJ Hawk, Troy Smith and Peyton Manning are just a few of the greats I'll be creating original paintings of. Ohio State is our favorite school here in the sticks of Ohio so many of the featured players will be OSU alumni. I'm also offering Woody Hayes limited edition prints of my classic watercolor painting: Woody Hayes on the Sidelines. The diner series continues through March 2007 when I hope to have the final pairs of "people and their food" finished.

Woody in Watercolor

The original is being donated to a benefit sponsoring an event that will raise funds for cancer research in memory of a man who worked with my husband.

Our Awesome Model, Margarita, is Back!!

Margarita is such a great model. She is back for another four week session. This time, thankfully, the black is gone and she is in pink. And her hair is down - she is just so much more beautiful like this and a joy to paint because she stands so still. This is what I came up with today. Just a fun session for me and I love the way it turned out.
