First, thank you for all the kind comments on yesterdays’s post of the kids on the Oregon beach! All much appreciated. Now, this cute doggie is taking shape. I’ve only included this close of up of his face because the person I’m painting it for hasn’t seen any of it and I’d love for herContinue reading “Doggie Portrait WIP”

Oregon Coast
18×24 oil on canvas I’m all done with this one and I am so happy with how it turned out, I’m not sure I want to part with it. I’m sorta sad to finish because I was having such a good time watching these kids come to life. And this is the piece that I struggledContinue reading “Oregon Coast”
The Work of Vicki Hutchins
? Just after Christmas, I read a great book by Ian Roberts called Creative Authenticity. I highly recommend it if you’re an arty farty type. Reading it gave me such a sense of affirmation and renewed belief that my approach to creating work and my processes were authentic, to me at least. In fact, I would…
Sunday Afternoon Fun
The Art Factory is in full swing. I think my kids produce as much stuff as I do and soon we will be pushed out of our house by everyone’s masterpieces. I bought this gal a little watercolor travel set for her birthday. Normally she paints with acrylics along with her brothers but I thought she’d like toContinue reading “Sunday Afternoon Fun”
Have a great weekend! Happy Friday night.
Smile! Life is good.
Oh Watercolors, where have you been all my life?
Happy Birthday! I celebrated the April & May birthdays with my running group and got a stack of cards from everyone. My birthday is on Mother’s Day this year. I’ve requested a box of chocolate from my family. I think there are close to 20 women in our running group and they/we celebrate every possible occasion. LotsContinue reading “Oh Watercolors, where have you been all my life?”
Katie Peak WIP
This might look familiar! But it’s a new little 8×10 that I started tonight. I blocked in the most basic colors and values. I like the warm start that it’s off to. The foothill painting I did for the art auction was square and 8×8 and I thought it would look better on a rectangular canvasContinue reading “Katie Peak WIP”
Watercolor Cuties & Oil Cuties & another marathon
Whenever I just want to paint something, I grab a bunch of little cuties. You know, the little mandarin oranges. Are they called Cuties around the world? I think I like my oil painting better…but this is watercolor #1. Or really #2 if you count the little Self Portrait I did in 2003. I see one littleContinue reading “Watercolor Cuties & Oil Cuties & another marathon”

School Art Auction
There it is all framed. I love the simple reveal “floating” frame, it’s my favorite. This frame always makes a painting look finished and professional. The little painting sold for what I would sell it for, so that’s great. I also helped with the 4th grade class art project that was sold in the liveContinue reading “School Art Auction”
