Alyssas' Roses (After Catherine Kline)

This was painted from a study of Catherine Klines' beautiful roses. I think everyone at one time or another has studied the roses of this wonderful woman-she was such an inspiration for all of us! Anyway I painted this for my granddaughter and I signed it Grammy. Can I say again I love roses? It is at this moment hanging in Alyssas' bedroom! Oh, Oh, Oh, I almost forgot to tell you, when Alyssa was really really little she called me (you won't believe this) Grammy Rose. Jaime told me she said one day "momma, can we go see Grammy Rose? She saw me painting roses and just put 2 & 2 together. Is that not adorable? I wonder if I should have named my blog .......... Art by Grammy Rose   or Grammy Roses Art Blog   or ....what do you think???

We The People

This was painted with an undercoat of acrylic then detailed with oil over the top. It was done in class so it was a good way to be able to get it done in one day. This is available for sale. (18x24) $350 + S&H 

Summertime

What really says summertime more than tomatoes ripening in the kitchen window? I loooove tomatoes and I loved painting them--the light hitting the tomatoes caught my eye  --i liked the deep red of the tomatoes to paint as much as I liked them to eat. This painting is available. $550 + S&H  (14x18)

Rolling Wave

I think the first painting I ever did was a knife painting of a seascape with waves crashing against the rocks copying  from an old Walter Foster book--and here I am again painting waves crashing against rocks again in a class! I do like to paint the seascapes! Someone on fb asked how can a gal from Kansas paint waves like that and I said cause i like too! lol This painting is available. (18x24) $250 + S&H

Sarahs' Peonies

SOLD
Peonies painted before & after class. This painting was in my studio (studio = joke actually a small spare bedroom)  behind a bunch of stuff & I really forgot I had it. I put it on fb and named it "forgotten flowers". Sarah saw it and immediately contacted me and purchased it! (she has 2 other paintings of mine) So I have changed the name to Sarahs' Peonies! This is in the collection of Sarah Kilgore. Thank you Sarah! xxoo

Sandys' Angel

This is a painting of an angel my niece made for me--I put it out in the front yard every summer & bring it back in when it gets cold--I cherish it. I thought it would make a good painting--I liked how the light fell on her & caused interesting shadows with the bush behind. This painting is available. (size 16x20) $450 + S&H

Flower Girl (study after Harlamoff)

This is another painting that I repainted after class--I looked at a picture that Harlamoff painted--and painted from that--as I have said before--the study of the old masters opens the eyes to alot of things. She is currently hanging on a wall opposite me -I love this painting. This painting is available for purchase. $750 + S&H (size 18x24)
