Paintings of the Past

In yesterday's post I stated that

I did not learn to paint

or learn that I could paint until

I was 42 years old.

 

Just goes to show that you can

teach an old dog new tricks!

LOL

 

Actually painting is not learned

you have to have it in you to do

before you can learn to paint.

 

This painting was my very first

oil.

I gave it to my mom since she

is the one that "PUSHED"

me into taking a paint class.

 

Hard to tell in this pic but

you can see the wood grain in the

wooden fence and there is rust

on the bucket that is hanging

from a barbwire fence.

The sky consist of not just

white clouds, there is purple,

yellow and gray in them.

 

 

My 2nd oil painting.

Yep, after I started I realized that I might

have bitten off more than I needed

to for this to be my 2nd painting.

That rose bush was not easy....

My son, then 15 years old thought

this was the coolest painting.

I was recently going to put her

up for sale but I asked Cory first and

he let me know, even though she is not

his style. He wanted the painting.

She is still at my home but she is

for Cory to take whenever.

 

 

 

There is a veil over the lady's face.

I usually did not require help from my

teacher on paintings but I have to admit

that my teach painted the veil.

Not sure where this came in

on the count of what was painted where but

this was painted for my 1st grandsons room.

 

 

Picked up this cool shaped piece of

wood at a yard sale once.

So....I painted on it.

Thinking my donut turned out

yummy looking!

 

I spent a lot of time painting for gifts.

This hangs in my mom's kitchen.

 

And this hangs in her bedroom.

 

and yet another that hangs in

her den.

 

I painted this one from a picture that

a friend took in East Tn.

 

One of my all time favs!

Painted this to hang in my living room....

only to sell it once it was done.

Price was offered...I took it.

Although I do have a print of this

hanging in my living room.

 

Sold this one also.

 

Loved this one...so adorable.

Sold it also.

 

As well as this one.

 

Gift to my friend Theresa.

 

This was painted for my daughter.

 

Grand Teton Mts

Painted for my younger brother.

 

Yet another one that my teacher has

some strokes in. The reflection

in the water is partly her work.

This hangs in my bath room.

 

My older brother has this piece.

 

My sis in law has this hanging in her

bedroom.

 

Sold this one.

 

Yes, another one my mom has.

Years ago in high school with acrylic

paints I painted a scene like this, the

same bridge for my mom. The bridge

is in her hometown. That painting

hung for over 20 yrs in her dining room

and was only replaced when I gave mom

my first oil (the first painting in the blog).

But I so wanted to replace the painting

with another of the bridge. This is it.

 

A gift.

 

A gift.

 

A cover to a CD I painted.

 

Painted this from a pic my brother took.

The pic and the painting used to hang

together in his house.

 

Painted for my niece Holly.

She loves WICKED.

 

My grandson's have the next

two paintings hanging in their room.

 

The beach....

 

On a cabinet door.

 

Another fav of mine. Sis in law

bought this to give to her mom.

 

Still have this one.

 

This is a pic I took when Caleb, now

14 was sitting at my work desk.

 

This is the painting from that pic.

One and only painting I have done of someone...
