Toomer's Corner

16" x 20"

Acrylic on Canvas

After the events of this past week I just knew I had to paint the Toomer's Corner trees. These trees embody something that can never be destroyed by anyone and that is the Auburn Spirit! I sent my son to take photos of the trees for me and he called back a few hours later and said " There is no way anybody is getting near those trees" ! So I had to make do with photos I already had.  It was fun to paint, even though I hate painting man made objects, that perspective gets me every time! But I love this place and trees or no trees I will still love it! I hope you enjoy looking!!

So I really dove in this time! I actually painted a picture of my own children, so scary! Since I actually know what they look like you would think this would be easy, but no, I think that made it harder. Capturing that look, the exact way they hold their mouth, the look in their eyes. While I did not get it exactly right I was okay with it for a first shot. At least now I can say I have done it! I usually tend to blur faces out so they are not recognizable but I found it difficult to do when it was my own children. I guess the new dog will be next! Move over boys you are being replaced : )

Franklin Family

I just completed a large commission piece for a family here in town. She wanted a painting similar to my "Girls on the Beach" but since they are not beach people we changed the setting. I was happy with the end result and wanted to share with all my friends and family. Hope you are all having a fabulous New Year!! Thanks for looking and hope you enjoy it!

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!!
