The Fruits of Spring

People tell me you can look at my artwork and see what is going on in my life and I suppose that is true! When the flowers start blooming I paint them and when I travel I paint the places that I have been. I recently took a trip to Mooresville, Alabama with some friends and we visited 1818 Farms there. What a lovely place and fabulous people. I am sure I will be painting more from our adventures there.

The chickens there were some of my favorites, along with the goats and sheep ( coming soon).

Here are a couple of paintings I did for Christmas gifts that I thought I would share. The first one was for my sister who loves Starbucks and just moved into a new home in Franklin, TN.

The second one is for my sister-in-law who lives in Birmingham. She loves flowers and does alot of flower arranging for weddings, so I thought this would be appropriate for her. I did the hydrangea painting on the new Artists' Boards and it really has a different feel.  I like it, but I don't think I would want to use it all the time. It basically takes texture out of the picture and provides an almost slick surface to paint on.  Hope everyone had a blessed Christmas and wishing you all a Happy New Year!
