Spanish Rose

Image
Spanish Rose, 16x12", oil, available I took fourth place for my entry of "Spanish Rose" last Friday's opening at the University Club. I was very surprised as the competition was stiff. So many great pieces! So, if you have the chance, come out and see the show. It runs through April 22nd. Location: The University Club of Phoenix 39 Monte Vista Road Phoenix, Arizona 85004 Exhibition hours: Monday – Friday 9-11 AM and 2-4 PM

Black Magic Woman

Image
Black Magic Woman, 16x12", oil, available on Etsy "Black Magic Woman", is from a live painting session with our lovely model, Mia. She sat the entire session (morning and afternoon) with her beautiful 'bewitching' smile. I am so happy with the light and color on this piece, it practically glows in the dark! If you are in Phoenix this Friday, come to the opening of the Portrait Artists Of Arizona show at the University Club. I have three pieces in the show. Location: The University Club of Phoenix 39 Monte Vista Road Phoenix, Arizona 85004 Opening Reception: Friday, March 11, 2016 5:30 – 7:30 PM Awards Presentation: 6:30 PM Exhibition hours: Monday – Friday 9-11 AM and 2-4 PM Click here to go to my Etsy shop.

Red Teapot with Mug & Apple

Red Teapot with Mug & Apple, 8x10" oil, Available This is the third time that I have painted this scenario. Each time I think it improves.

Alluring

Image
Alluring, 6x12" oil,  Available This little sweetie, Marcel, belongs to my good friend. Like her mom, she is very curious, smart and adorable! The painting is for sale at my  Etsy  shop and comes framed and ships for free within the continental USA. I haven't posted lately because I have been painting up a storm and also back in July of last year I became one of the exhibiting artists at the Village Gallery in the Village of Oak Creek, AZ. I have made a line of affordable prints and greeting cards that I sell there, along with my original paintings, which I will be getting up on my Etsy site, as well. I have also been doing a little teaching, exhibiting in shows and doing commission pieces. I have been busier than ever...now, if I could just be pampered like this kitty, I'd have it made!

Autumn Kitty

Image
Autumn Kitty, 10x8", oil,  Available I was feeling pretty low and thought a colorful friend would brighten my day.

Shooting Star

Image
Shooting Star, 12x16", oil,  Available This is a piece that I have entered into the Sedona Visual Artists' Coalition Show "Blue". The concept began to formulate with a former blog entry of  mine  of almost three years ago. This one is actually a study for a piece that is 38x52" that I hope to have finished sometime next year. I am honored that my art was chosen for the front page of the show flyer. If you are in the area, please come out to see the exhibit.
