Atlanta Fine Arts League Small Works Show

Lots of small affordable art..... great for gifts or perfect for a small space or shelf in your home. The show is being hung today and runs through December 14.  I have four small paintings there.  Come check out the show!

Market Romas

8x8, oil on canvas.  This was inspired by my trip to Monaco last spring.  Out door markets are such an explosion of color!  It would be a great place to plein air paint.  Too bad I didn't have my paints while I was there...at least I had my camera!

What You Talkin' About Willis?

10 x 10 oil on gallery wrap.  For some reason, cows always give me this sideways look.  Maybe it is because they are sick of people photographing them and are on the verge of turning their back on us.  The entire time I was painting this painting this title "What You Talkin' About Willis" was stuck in my head.  His look and attitude reminded me of Gary Coleman on Different Strokes.  When I told my 17 year old what I was naming the painting, he looked at me like I had two heads.  I guess not everyone is familiar with that show (I am dating myself!).  I started to second guess my painting title, so I lofted it out there to my friends (not giving them any background on what I was trying to convey in the painting).  Everyone enthusiastically came back with so many creative titles, and many had something to do with his eye.  "stink eye", "blink" and many more.  I loved all the titles, but didn't realize that my original title really finished out the story of the painting for me.  So...I went with that!

Lake Glow

7 x 5 oil  Playing with color while painting Lake Lanier!

Sunflower Solo

12 x 12 oil on board.  This painting will be up for auction next week at the Kudzu Artzone in Norcross.  Proceeds benefit the art center. SOLD

Dawg through the Window

Painted on an old window, this UGA Georgia Bulldog painting was done a fundraiser benefitting the Lambert High School Football program in Suwanee, Georgia.  Our son is a kicker for the team! Georgia Bulldogs are dear to my heart, as that is where I got my degree in art.  Our daughter also attends UGA as an accounting major.  I also painted a window for her room at her sorority house.  It looks great on a wall, as the color of the walls shows through the glass.  Go Dawgs!!!!

Summer Sunflowers

30 x 30, oil on gallery wrapped canvas.  My friend Teena brought me these sunflowers from the sunflower farm in Cumming, GA.  Such a wonderful place!  It is a shame they are not available all year!
