Alphabet Challange W - Women

TODAY's letter

is the

for Women.

How about paintings of the

women I have done.

We can call this the

Women's Series

This painting was my very first

women's painting but....it was

also my second painting period.

Yep, I really bit off more than I

could chew (paint ) with this one...

but I managed it. What is really cool

about this painting is....

my son when he was a lot

younger thought this painting

was cool. A few years ago I was

going to sell it off but I talked with

Cory first, he did not want me

to sell it. He said he wanted it.

That really touched me.

Moving on...

I studied painting in my later

years, I was 42.

And I started with oils.

Actually I worked with acrylics in

high school on the two paintings

that I did paint.

But I love oils.

This one is painted on a larger canvas

and hangs in my spare room.

This little woman I sold to

a woman I want to school with.

If you have picked up on anything

while you have been reading my

blog you will know that I love

THE WIZARD OF OZ.

So this post was almost about that movie!

But...I decided to go this way instead.

I painted the above painting for my

niece. She loved the movie WICKED

and introduced me to it.

One more oil. Given as a gift.

Being an artist is not easy cause

people really don't like purchasing

paintings, esp. oils, they sell for a

bit more cause of the cost of the

paints.

So I actually moved on to

acrylics.

Donated this painting below to an

auction we had at the school last

year. I worked for the TN.

School for the Blind.

I was house sitting at my brothers

a couple years ago and to pass the

time I painted this one.

When my sis in law saw it

she fell in love with it.

When she came home it

was there waiting for her.

It hangs beside her dressing table

in the bathroom. She loves hats.

So last year when her and my brother

were out of town I was house

sitting again, it was Lori's bday

so I painted this to go with the

other ladies.

Drink anyone?

How about a swim?

Better yet how about a drink out

after the swim?

One of my favs. Love the colors.

Red lips.

Couple of dresses.

And the shoes.

Thanks for stopping in to view my

letter of the day.

If you notice in my paintings they are either

hiding behind hats, or a side view or

from the rear. I can't paint faces to

well.
