Norma Wilson Original Oil Cow Calf Cattle Painting Art



Calf Comes Home

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

I love to watch the cows as the day comes to an end walking slowly towards the barn....returning home for an evening's rest. I imagine this one is all lit up with the glow of evening and following Mom through the pasture.
There's something so very comforting about coming home and following a routine. For

Norma Wilson Original Oil Hibiscus Flower Floral Art SOLD


Hibiscus In Bloom  SOLD

6" by 6" original oil on gallery wrap canvas with 1 and 3/4 inch sides painted.

Just finishing up my in my studio for the evening. I worked on several paintings, switching back and forth a bit and it was quite productive. I did this little floral last and think I like it the most. Sometimes it works out that way as I have been exercising the creative muscle and get into a zone where there is less thinking and more flow of paint and joy! I have always been partial to Hibiscus but this one is a bit more complicated as hibiscus blooms go. For purchase information, contact me at normasart@cox.net! Have a great Friday!!!

Every once in a while I find a little nuthatch or wren on my screened porch when I have left the doors open to let the dogs come and go but today I found a beautiful blue jay paying a visit. We finally got it out and back to it's home in the trees but I really got to see one up close for the first time. They really are lovely and have such pretty markings.

Norma Wilson Original Acrylic Sailboat Seascape Sunset Art


Setting Sail

9" by 12" acrylic on multi-media board

This little study was done while teaching at Harbor's Edge Retirement village. One of the ladies brought a post card that she had found that was from the 1920's. We didn't have any information on it so that is all I can tell you. It was black and white and quite different from what you see. There were people on the dock and in the boat which was moored and next to another boat. I imagined that they were loading up for their journey and getting ready to set sail. Mary, who brought the postcard, did her own version of the card and I did mine and it was so much fun! I worked in many layers which is different from the way I usually work in oil. I want to do more seascapes and landscapes now!
This piece is available for 49.00 plus 4.50 shipping and handling.

      Glancing My Way    SOLD

6" by 8" original oil on multi-media board

More fun with a great new surface I discovered while back that is watercolor paper with epoxy added making it very versatile. You can frame this without a mat or glass but I am including a white mat so that it can be famed in a standard 8 by 10 frame. I liked the pose on this gal!
