Colorful Cow Girl

 Colorful Cow Girl
12" by 12" original oil on wrap around canvas with sides painted

A Girl Named Sue
There once was a girl named Sue
who had a twin brother name Crew
Their little donkey would bray
all through the darn day
So they traded it for a cow saying, 'Moo'

Had a great day today in my studio organizing in the morning and then my friend and fellow artist, Adele came over to paint with me.  That always makes the day more fun when I can paint with a friend. I found this silly limerick on a site called extremely funny limericks...not sure if I'd go that far but thought it was cute.  Sometimes it is hard to know what to write about on my blog....just love painting cow faces!!!  Some days I get inspired by a new color combination or post or composition twist.  At some point in the painting process...they start to speak to me and that is pretty exciting.  It gets lonely in my studio! :-)  Have an awesome Thursday!

Egret Standing

Egret Standing

12" by 24"


This piece is one that I did several months ago and has been sitting in my studio talking
to me and saying that it needed a bit more detail and color!  Today I took it down and worked on it a
bit and I am much happier with it.  I also started a new bird that I plan on posting tomorrow....a small six by six.  Hope you had a good weekend.  I had a long weekend away from my studio and now it
is time to get busy planning for this coming holiday season of paintings and marketing.  It was a beautiful day today with the feel of Autumn in the air!  I wanted to go out and get a pumpkin for my
front steps and some mums!  Thanks for checking in with me. For more information on this piece, please contact me at normasart@cox.net

Crabtastic

Crabtastic


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


I just loved the colors of this crab and went to town with that palette knife! I did this piece in two stages. Most days I finish a painting all in one day but recently I have been working back and forth a bit more and seem to be busier than ever. I have many fond memories from my college years and when I lived in Baltimore and would spend my weekends down at the Naval Academy. A bunch of friends and I would head over to the local seafood place where we would order dozens of crabs and beer and sit for hours eating and talking and having a wonderful time. My mouth is actually watering as I write this. I have had crab quite a few times since then but somehow the experience has not been quite the same. I don't know if you have to be in Maryland or just in your twenties but it sure was awesome!

Not much work done today in my art world but I did get this piece
back from a gallery that I did awhile back.  It is one of my favorite cat portraits.

Tea Cup For You!

Tea Cup For You
6" by 6" original oil on gallery wrap canvas with sides painted.

Today was the first day I have gotten back into my studio since my Mom passed away.  I shipped a painting to a client and got some pieces photographed.  I appreciate all of the condolences I received  from my readers and fellow artists.
It is so nice to know people are keeping you in their thoughts and prayers.  This piece reminds me of my Mom who was Irish and loved her tea!  Hope you are all having a good week.  Thanks for checking in with me! For more information on this piece or any other paintings, please contact me at normasart@cox.net.
