Honey Crisp Time


I love this time of year! The weather is cooling off....at least at night and honey crisp apples are in the grocery stores! They are so good!!
Yesterday I decided to set up a still life in my kitchen and painted all day! I would love any of my artist friends (or others) who see this to critique it...good and bad. I know the picture is hard to see compared to the real painting, but maybe you can see things that I can't. I know I need to crop it....just not sure where yet.
There are lots of art activities and shows coming up, so I want some good paintings!
Thanks for sharing!

Pastel Art Show







This weekend was the pastel art show at Coppini Academy. It was so much fun and very successful. I sold my "Tiger Eyes" and "Red Delicious".


Thank you to all that showed up....friends and family!

My "Eye of the Sunset" seemed to be a big success, even though I wasn't crazy about it. I am including it in this group of pictures.

Enice Hundley Workshop and Upcoming Show


We had a great time at the workshop this Saturday at Coppini Academy! It was a one day workshop with an overload of information. We worked on portraits, still life and a photo. I decided to stick with the still life and try to get something finished. I'm still not completely finished with this one because I'm waiting to get the photograph of the apple basket taken at the workshop. (I forgot my camera, like a dummy!) But I am happy with the vibrant reds in this painting.
Hopefully I will have it framed and at the Student Art Show Sept. 5-7 at Coppini. I will be sending out invitations and hope you can come. Friday night is great because it's the reception with music, wine, and food! So please put in on your calendar! Hope to see you there!

Tiger Painting


I painted this from a picture on a card my husband gave me. He thought it would be a good one to paint, since he knows I like animal faces. I plan to put a black mat around it and then frame it. It might even be good for the Trinity Art Show in October since the tiger is their mascot!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Morning Walk on the Beach


Long time, no post! I've been busy traveling, visiting family, and doing other things! Currently I'm stepping out of my comfort zone and trying beach, water, and sunset scenes.
This painting of two eqrets was from a picture I took at North Captiva Island in April. I loved all the birds and wildlife! I'm working on a sunset but will post that soon.

Two Giraffes


I seem to be into doing zoo animals lately. I loved this picture that was taken at a wildlife ranch, and had to paint it. They were hanging over the wagon looking for food.

Have a great weekend!

Leopard Father's Day Present


I'm about finished with this Father's Day present...still trying to decide on the background. I added some yellow to the blue-gray but not sure if I like it. Any suggestions?
This is for my audiologist friend's husband who likes to hunt.
Hope eveyone is enjoying their Memorial Day Weekend! Thank God for our military men and women!
