Advice, Reflections– Pelican Painting April Challenge Day 13

Reflection, 6×6, oil on canvas SOLD I’ve been painting a lot so I’ve been thinking about painting a lot.  Worried that I paint too many pelicans.  Worried I’m not contributing anything important to the world.  Worried.  When I was teaching creative writing to high school seniors, I made them read Kelly Cherry’s poem “Advice to […]

Bird Painting, Watching– April Challenge Day 12

Blue Heron, 6×6, oil on gessoboard $75 SOLD   Day 12.  Started this one a couple days ago.  Most of my pelicans are flying, but I usually see egrets and herons still and watchful, which is probably appropriate because April can be the cruelest month.  I’m about to take my paintings outdoors– Mandeville is stunning […]

Branching Out, Egret Painting

Purple Egret, 6×6, oil on gessoboard $75 SOLD I kept thinking of titling this post “no egrets” but even I (the self-proclaimed queen of puns) realize that’s pushing it a little.  Also a little weird considering the subject of this painting is, in fact, an egret.  That’s what people who aren’t pun queens don’t understand– […]

Crawfish painting 2– April Challenge Day 10

   Crawfish painting 2, 6×6, oil on gessoboard, $75 SOLD Am I really one third of the way through my thirty in thirty? Ten paintings down, twenty to go.  Honestly, it’s been far easier than I thought it would be. And I’m happy.  Really happy.  Not sure how else to say it.  I go to bed […]

Crawfish Painting Season- April Challenge Day 9

Crawfish 1, oil on gessoboard, 6×6, $75 SOLD Haven’t painted crawfish in a while, and it’s that time of year again.  They aren’t the most beautiful creatures in the world, but I think that’s why I like painting them– trying to capture a beauty not readily apparent.  I recently received a commission to do a […]

Mother and Child 3 8×8 oil on gessoboard $100 Click to purchase Since I’ve decided to renew my love affair with oil paints after a three year hiatus, I just had to revisit this image.  The palette’s changed a lot too; not necessarily on purpose, but I felt drawn to cooler shades.

Pelican Painting– Chin Up, April Challenge Day 7

Chin Up, oil on gesso board, $75 click to purchase If You’re #blessed, What Am I? Grief in the Age of Social Media I started my pelican paintings when my world started to crumble around me.  I’d had an ectopic pregnancy that I discovered in a scary emergency room experience.  No heartbeat.  Fallopian tube.   A […]

Mother and Child Art, April Challenge Day 6

Mother and Child 2, 8×10 oil on canvas $112 click to purchase I’ve been focused on mother and child art for a while now.  I go back and forth between the abstracted faces and the more natural ones. For Lent I decided to set aside some time each day to reflect on the scripture readings of […]
