Norma Wilson Original Oil Rabbit Bunny Animal Painting


Bunny Steps Out Of The Shadows


9" by 12" original oil on masonite board.


Well, I am back after taking a couple of days holiday to celebrate Thanksgiving with my boys. I spent a few days before they came home painting the house. I painted the door red, trim a nice taupe and light gray on my shutters. Dinner yesterday was great. It was very casual as it was just my three boys and me. Today was back to work shipping paintings and working on this new piece. I have a big pot of turkey soup cooking and we just polished off a batch of peanut butter and chocolate brownies. Guess I'd better take some long walks this week! Hope your holid has been relaxing so far and that you enjoy the weekend.

Norma Wilson Original Oil Proud White Cow Cattle


Proud White Cow


12" by 12" original oil on wrap around canvas with 3/4 inch sides painted.


Well, today was a really busy day attending two soccer games in a weekend tournament for Andrew. The first game was at 9:00 and it was FREEZING! I thought I had layered enough but it was crazy cold with strong winds in a wide open space of many fields. The second game I went prepared!!! I raided my older son's closet and found long johns, hats, gloves, a special thermal blanket made for just such occasions, and sweatshirt. I stopped at 7 11 and got a steaming cup of hot chocolate and parked much closer. I was absolutely toasty in temperatures which felt like high 20's with the wind.Tomorrow's games might be back to back if they win the first one so I am planning on adding yet another layer! You can't be too sure!


I enjoyed painting tonight in my studio as I felt really toasty and grateful for my warm home and to be doing something that I love so much. Hope your weekend is a good one and that you are staying warm too!

Norma Wilson Original Oil Llama Animal Portrait Art


Llama Mamma!

9" by 12" original oil on wrap around canvas with 3/4 inch sides painted.


It sure is cold here in Virginia! There was even rumor of snow flakes but I haven't spotted any so far. I did manage to stay pretty warm today in my studio with all my spot ligts on and lots of good painting. I completed a new cow which I just listed and also this fun piece. It is my first llama and it was quite fun. Hope you like it too. Tomorrow is a teaching day as well as time to begin two commissioned pet portraits. Both are labs so I am sure that will be fun especially with time drawing near when Sean and my "grandpuppy", Brewsky, will be home for Thanksgiving. I will have to get used to keeing all food off the counters! Enjoy the day today!

Norma Wilson Original Oil Gray Tabby Cat Kitty Feline

Gray Tabby Out Of The Shadows
6" by 6" original oil on wrap around canvas with 3/4 inch sides painted.
Tonight's painting was inspired by my own little Tabby cat who has modeled for me a bunch. I had found her in a zen moment partly in the shadows in my office perched on my desk with the sun streaming in the window. I think she is quite the beauty! Hope you enjoy this little piece which would look great framed or unframed or even sitting on a small easel on a bookcase. Have a great Friday!

Norma Wilson Original Oil Pineapple Fruit Food Art


Welcome Pineapple


Pineapples are so much fun to paint! I see so much color in them and love to play that up and also they have such great texture! Combine that with my favorite color, red for the background, and it makes for great fun! This piece is an original oil on wrap around canvas with 3/4 inch painted sides and is 10" by 20". It would make a lovely statement in a dining room or kitchen or even in an entryway as the pineapple is such s symbol of welcome. I just purchased a new door knocker for my front door that is a pineapple. I am going to paint my front door yellow and my shutters red. They are a boring dark green now. Not sure what the neighbors are going to think but after all.....an artist lives here!!

I think that racoons have the cutest faces. Every now and then we see one in our neighborhood...one was roosting around in our trash can with the lid on his head! Hope you are having a good week. Can't believe how close the holidays are getting! The weather was really rainy and blustery today and was almost dark when Andrew got home from school. Well, enjoy your Thursday!

Norma Wilson Original Oil Rooster Hen Chicken Cockeral


Really Cool Rooster


12" by 12" original oil on wrap around canvas with 3/4 inch sides painted.


Hope your week is off to a great start. Andrew had off of school today and I was out running errands. I am going to paint my front door, shutters and trim this weekend and had to choose some colors. I went to see the gal who helped me do my family room and we picked two fun colors. One is a brick red for the shutters with kind of a rosy tinge and golden yellow for the front door. I never would have chosen it on my own but apparently it is very vogue these days and is reccomended for people who want to sell their homes. I have golden yellow on my walls and lots of red accents in pillows and area rugs so it should flow nicely. Now I just need to get busy. I also got an area rug for my dining room so it will look nice for the holiday and will protect the floors from Brewsky when he and Sean come home from college. Well, I am going to go to bed early so I will be ready to vote tomorrow! Have a good one!
