White Iris - Palette Knife Painting

"White Iris"

24" x  12", Oil on Canvas

In the house I lived in till about 2 years ago - my goodness how time flies - had a garden that included white irises in the Spring.  One day if I ever get back to gardening, I think I'd like to plant bunches of iris because I never tire of seeing them.

I've not blogged in a while, traveling takes it out of me.  My schedules and routines are disrupted.  My sleep definitely does.  Although I have been painting, it's the posting that's taking a little bit of a push to get back up to speed.  Bear with me please.

Walking....Yes, Indeed - Angel with Cowboy Boots - Palette Knife Painting

"Walking...Yes, Indeed"

10" x 10", Oil on Board

I painted this just before my trip to Japan to visit my family.  

This is a second angel in cowboy boots.  I've received a lot of positive comments on my last boot/angel painting which made me think that I'm not the only one who likes a spunky angel.

Angel with Cowboy Boots

"Angel with Cowboy Boots"

14" x  11", Oil on Board
$320.00 + $10.00 S/H

I had this image of cowboy boots...maybe it's because I'm a part of the Artists of Texas and there is a lot of Texana in our paintings....?  And I live in Texas....and I was thinking - I'd like a pair of cowboy boots...

This angel seems to be walking with a lot of spunk...big steps...like Texans...and yet lost in thought...

I hope your angel, the one who watches over you, has spunk.  That they aren't too cautious when the devil sitting on your other shoulder is whispering for you to do something you're not comfortable with - that your "good" angel isn't making you do things that are too safe...

For the Mae Wests in us!  YAY!

Can I Come Along - Male Angel Palette Knife Oil Painting

"Can I Come Along"

12" x  9", Oil on Board

The one thing that sometime scared me was, will my pets be cared for if I should leave?  The title is for that thought.  It's also a cool looking "dude" angel with sunglasses.

Just a thought - be sure to remember your pets in your wills, be sure to ask friends who will be guardians to take care of them and - update your wills!   I know this is not a topic/reminder you thought you'd find but since I'm painting Angels - I thought I'd just mention it!

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.
