Norma Wilson Original Oil White Irish Cow Appears


12" by 12" original oil on wrap around canvas with sides painted. This piece is currently on auction on eBay.


Today was another great day in my studio shipping paintings, teaching in the afternoon and painting all evening. I did get a bike ride in around the neighborhood which was so hot! The bank said it was 97 at 7:00 and I believe it. I have been in a good habit of riding every night and I think I am going to add a walk in the mornings. Either that or the ice cream has to go! :-) Hope your week is going well. Thanks for stopping by!

Norma Wilson Original Oil English Robin Bird Art


6" by 6" original oil on wrap around canvas with sides painted. It is currently on auction on eBay.

I really enjoyed painting this little English Robin. He look so puffy and happy! Most of today I was planning a portrait class I am teaching tomorrow. I found a wonderful face of an elderly woman in a colorful headress to use as a reference. I love doing faces of any kind and really had fun preparing for this class. Many people fine faces intimidating and frustrating at first but if you break it down into shapes and a variety of darks and lights, it becomes easier. It is also helpful to turn the face upside down so you don't focus on the fact that is's a face so much! Hope your week is going well! Click to Bid!

Norma Wilson Original Oil White Labrador Portrait Art


10" by 10" original oil on wrap around canvas with 3/4 inch sides painted. I originally did this piece in acrylic but decided to paint the next layers in oil which added a wonderful depth to it. I normally begin all my paintings with a coat of red acrylic paint or more recently in black. I find this works better for me than beginning with a white surface. I love how the colors underneath peak through in some places. Click to Bid!

Norma Wilson Original Oil White Irish Cow Nears


18" by 24" original oil on wrap around canvas with sides painted.


Today was a busy one with a trip to Portsmouth to move my location from a studio to easel and display space. I really enjoy working at home the most but love being a part of the group and the monthly events. I also made a run to my favorite art store for supplies and worked on this cow. I am really excited about it and plan on spending a lot of time painting this weekend as I have missed it while away last week. Click to Bid!

Norma Wilson Original Oil Another Pug To Hug Dog Art


6" by 6" original oil on wrap around canvas with 3/4 inch sides painted.


It was good to be back at my easel today after being away in New York for a few days. My nephew has a place in Manhattan and we were able to stay with him and spend a few days checking out the Big Apple. I really had NO idea how massive the city is and how crowded. The people from New York said it is really not as busy as usual because of the gas prices so I can't even imagine. We had some wonderful food and the weather was great. The tappas were delicious at Cafe Noir and great Italian at Porto Bella.


I had a request to do another pug dog and I also worked on a large cow today. While away I took some pictures of some beautiful roses given to my Mom. I plan to have some fun with those soon too! Well, hope you all have a great week.

Norma Wilson Original Oil Bluejay Bird Art

5" by 7" original oil on masonite board. This piece is available by contacting me for more information. I am out of town until Monday night but will try to check my messages on my nephew's computer. My laptop battery quit working tonight so I am on my sister's computer. We leave for New York in the morning. I plan to take lots of pictures for future paintings. I don't think there will be many cows or roosters in Manhattan but perhaps some new inspirational subjects will emerge! Have a wonderful restorative weekend!
