I Heart You - Playful Palette Knife Painting

"I Heart You"
4" x  5", Oil on deep gallery-wrapped canvas - sides are painted

A few days ago I took my car into my dealer's service department to get routine maintenance done....and they give the car a complimentary car wash.  Oh my car loved it!  It looked so nice and shiny and happy...but not two days later it's sporting a yellow-green haze on it.

It sure is Spring and the pollen is in the air.  Thankfully I'm not prone to allergies so the pollen doesn't bother me except to have coated my car.  The good thing is, that everywhere I look everyone else's car is suffering the same predicament and has a sheen of yellow green.  But my, the trees are filling in with that sweet, fresh looking green and the farmer's markets are so colorful with flowers waiting to be planted in gardens.

I was having a little fun when painting this little canvas - a heart.  I heart you...

Pinkie and the Killers, Tulip Palette Knife Painting



"Pinkie and the Killers"
8" x  8" x 1.5", Oil on Canvas

Odd title for a painting?  There was a singing group in Japan in the '70's called Pinky and the Killer - at least I think Pinky was spelled with a "y"....Female lead singer with 4 men backup - kind of like Gladys Knight and the Pips.  They often dress in tux's and a Top Hat with canes.....I might have been reminiscing because of all the news from Japan.

When I posted this painting on FB, several alumni from my high school in Japan commented that they remembered the group and liked the title.

Well it's officially Spring now and tulips just feel so Spring.  Although I don't know if I can name just one flower to that honor....blooming trees, daffodils, hyacinths, all feel like Spring.

Have a lovely day!

Sunday Was a Good Day



"Sunday Was a Good Day"
8" x  8"x 1.5", Oil on Canvas

Ever think at the end of the day - today was a good day...

With all that is happening in my home country so many there not able to say that after the big earthquake that hit on Friday - I am so grateful for so many many things.

I'm grateful for my friends who have called these past few days to ask how my family are in Japan.  I'm grateful for the electricity, water, roads to drive my car, roof over my head, knowing the whereabout (generally) of the people I love, care about or know...

For me Sunday was a Good Day.  Hope you're having a good day.

Weary - An Angel Palette Knife Painting



"Weary"
10" x 10", Oil on Board

Last week I visited the Muse & Co Fine Art Gallery in Roswell, GA. and left several paintings on a test run of a week.  I contacted them yesterday to tell them I'd be by the pick up my paintings and was told that two had sold this past week.  Stunned and happy!!  The above is one of the paintings that had sold and the other that sold is the painting in the previous post, "Quiet Talk".  I'm on my way in a little while to visit with the Gallery, maybe they might want to represent me?
