Quiet Talk, Angel Palette Knife Oil Painting

"Quiet Talk"

10" x  10", Oil on Board

I was looking at my recent inventory of paintings and was thinking,  "I sure have painted a few angel paintings lately".  I have been posting them on Facebook and it has been a pleasant surprise to receive comments and thumbs up on the paintings.  I think Facebook has it's place in seeing what is getting people's attention and what hasn't.  

Yesterday I met Isabelle Gautier, a Georgia Artist who blogs on the Daily Painters of Georgia site.  We'd only "met" virtually through emails so it was nice to put a face to a name.  We visited a few Galleries and then had lunch at a French restaurant.  Isabelle is from the Normandy area of France so it was nice going to a French restaurant, ordering wine for lunch.  We talked about our art, ideas on galleries, what venues work for selling art, etc.  It was nice brainstorming and making a new friend.

Where You've Been - Angel Palette Knife Painting

"Where You've Been"

14" x 11", Oil on Board

Long ago I heard a song by Kathy Mattea about a couple who'd been married for years and years - she wrote the song from something she heard her grandmother who had Alzheimer's had said and she had witnessed.  Her grandmother was in an assisted living, she'd been withdrawn and not speaking until they wheeled her grandfather into her room and she said "Where've you been?  I've looked for you for ever and a day". 

I wonder sometimes at how happy our pets seem when we leave them alone at the house for a few minutes/hours/days?  They seems so terribly happy to see us.  Almost as though they ask us where you've been?  I've looked for you for ever and a day!

Ok, I do have a soft spot for dogs.....!

Darn It's A Snow Day and I'm Alone

"Darn It's a Snow Day and I'm Alone"

6" x  6", Oil on Board

So, last week we had 100 hours of below freezing temperatures here in North Texas!  So it started with a pair of feet sticking out of the bed sort of painting and when they started to announce school, businesses, and office closings, this little idea popped into my head....what if you had found yourself stuck in you house but didn't have anyone over that would have shared the snuggly moments in the morning, you'd be saying "Darn!"

This painting is available through The Dutch Art Gallery , www.dutchartusa.com

White Hydrangea with Purple Palette Knife Painting

"White Hydrangea with Purple"

8" x  8" x 1.5", Oil on Canvas

We'd been cabin-fevered for 4 days...Inspsired by the snow, this was another painting of the white hydrangea I posted yesterday, this time with a light blue background.  

I went over to the Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas where I display some of my paintings, to take new paintings.  Thankfully one of my paintings sold last week and another one is on lay-away.  The drive to the gallery takes about 50 minutes give or take, sometimes a lot of give because of the traffic in North Dallas but yesterday was the first day that the temperatures were above freezing in what newscasters said over 100 hours.  The sun was out and the snow and ice was quickly melting on the roads.  A lot of the "stuff" on the road was slush,  muddy mix of sand and the salt solution the highway crews have been putting on the raods.  

My poor car looks like it'd been in a off-road rally, it is soooo muddy.

Available - CLICK HERE

Like everywhere else in the U.S., we're getting ice and snow.  For my birthday in December, my friends bought me a selection of canvases of various sizes.  This one is an 8 by 8 by 1.5 inches deep gallery wrapped canvas.  I think the snow has influenced my choice of colors as I kept it soft and white.

On Tuesday morning, as the weather people had predicted we were awakened by the sound of sleet, freezing rain. howling winds and thundering snows pelting our house.  A lot of the U.S. has had wintery wintery cold weather which is my inspiration for this painting.
