These are some of my recent paintings. I have been really busy since The Holiday House working on commissions but I finally got a break and took a chance to paint some things I wanted to do. And now the Christmas season is upon us and I am so excited to get the opportunity to paint while playing my Christmas music!! But I must go now because the SEC Championship game will be beginning soon and I can't miss that!!! Maybe some more Auburn paintings will follow!

As always thank you for looking!

This was a favorite at the Southwood Holiday House that i participated in a couple of weeks ago. I realized later I had never posted a photo of this painting. This one is done in acrylic and with alot more texture than my original which was done in oil. I hope you enjoy it!

For the first time since Bo Jackson played at Auburn, we have a player that it seems no one can touch! It is so much fun to watch this guy play football and I am most excited that he is on MY team! WOW! This definitely made him a worthy painting subject and I just hope I did him semi-justice. I starting sketching it out on Friday and painted it Saturday morning before the LSU game in hopes of a win for the Auburn Tigers and he did not disappoint. So War Eagle!!!!

They say you should paint what you know.... so... I really had fun with this one!! I know alot about little boys being little boys. I feel a new series coming on! I just love painting children in general because they have such expressions of joy and abandon! Also I have spent a fair amount of time at the pool and the beach and it definitely shows in my painting choices! I hope you enjoy them!!

Summer!

"Her Wedding"

8x8

Acrylic on Board
Sold

Summer is finally here which means I have so much more time for painting! I love having the ability to paint for awhile and walk away and look at things with fresh eyes. We have had the pleasure of attending several weddings this summer which inspired this painting. The brides are all so beautiful, innocent, radiant and in love. Our "pastor-to-be", Rev. Jean Larroux , also preached two incredible sermons last Sunday and the first was entitled " Her wedding, His funeral". This is where the title for the painting came from, and he discussed how the husband is literally called to "give up" his life and devote it to his wife. It was a remarkable sermon and draws the parallel between Christ and his church and the groom and his bride. How blessed are we that Christ chose to give his life for us! I hope to do a larger version of this painting soon!

Another Tree

" A Mighty Oak"

20x20

Acrylic on Canvas
Sold

I have discovered that I really enjoy painting trees. I find myself studying them when I am outside and looking at the way the light hits them, and all the different shades of green you see in them, and the different colors you see in the bark. I feel a series coming on! While I might still make some changes to this painting I wanted to go ahead and post it. I hope you enjoy looking!

My sweet friend Carole Foret gave me the "Sunshine Blog Award". I realize I have been
less than faithful about updating my blog lately, but this has inspired me to continue on! I am
still painting faithfully so I promise to update again soon! Thanks Carole!
