Pearl lives on a horse farm. She goes to the barn with her owner every day and roams the property. She often accompanies her mistress on trail rides. When she is not checking out the stalls, her bell lets everyone know where she is.

Oscar and Emmy
Oscar and Emmy enjoy visiting their "grandmother" at Lake Martin. This painting was a graduation gift for her granddaughter graduating from Auburn University this spring. Can you tell by their names that their owner likes the movies?

Shugar
Shug was a beautiful Newfoundland who lived in Florida. She was a gentle spirit and her family's beloved "baby girl" for eleven and a half years.
After drawing her on my canvas, I began her painting with a French grisaille method using burnt sienna oil paint. This helped me establish values and gave her a warm undertone.

Bailey
It has been a while since I have posted. Our lives have been interrupted in numerous ways. We must surely view these days knowing that our Lord is in control. For an artist it can be difficult to find our creative spirit in challenging times, but when we do, the joy returns!
While I have not painted as often, I am enjoying commission work. I am well and thankful for so many blessings. I love painting for you.
Bailey was commissioned by my friend and the owner of Vignettes, a beautiful gift and interior design store in Auburn. I appreciate them showing and selling my work for the past seven years. This painting was a special Christmas gift for her son.

Precious Memories
This beautiful homeplace in Selma, Alabama, holds a lifetime of sweet memories for a southern family who has both roots and wings here. What a grand place it has been to nurture and grow generations of children and grandchildren!

Merry Christmas
This is the fourth painting in my series of Redbirds. Each year I paint a new one and print notecards. If you need hostess gifts or stocking stuffers, these are available at The Flower Store in Auburn and the Museum Store at Montgomery Museum of Fine Art.
I want to thank you for following my blog and encouraging my art journey. Wishing you a merry Christmas with health and joy in 2020!

Celebrating the Holidays at the Art Haus
We are looking forward to the inaugural show for the new Art Haus in Opelika this Saturday from 11:00 to 2:00. It follows the Christmas parade downtown. I hope you will come out for a fun filled day.
I have enjoyed spending some time there painting this fall.
My small Santas will be for sale along with beautiful artwork from a group of talented local artists. We are thankful for the vision of the Stern family in providing this lovely gathering place for the arts in Opelika.
