I decided to try a new paint color by Lukas yesterday.  It is turquoise and really love the mix of cobalt blue and turquoise in the background.  This cow is looking for a name if anyone can help me think of one!  I usually post at the end of the evening after painting in my studio and sometimes my brain is fried! This is one of those nights so any help is greatly appreciated!  This one will be going to my gallery unless she finds a good home before next week.

I also want  to introduce you to my green eyed studio friend, named Rusty. Yes, I named her...probably when I was tired but she is only 5 and a half pounds and oh so sweet!  She is twelve years young and for most of her life she has had teenagers around to hang out with and I didn't see her that often.  Since my last one flew the coop...she is my new best friend.  At night she drapes herself across my lap and arms as I type.  Occasionally she walks through oil paint and tries to make her own paw paintings...not usually on canvas. She has been my model for more paintings than I can count.  She has won awards and is part of many collectors homes.  She just has that kind of face! :-)  

Hope you have a great Friday!  I got started painting my dining room so I know what I will be doing
this weekend!  Thank you for stopping by!

Dawn Dude....Wake Up!!!

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

 Thank you to all my readers and collectors who sent in name.  I just had my son, Andrew pull a name out of a hat....o.k....it was a bowl. I

I could not decide and I am keeping the bowl of names for future roosters which I love to paint.  I think I will ask for help once a week

as I usually have at least one painting a week that I have no clue what to name.  Anyway, thanks Sharon, Kass, Brenda, Sean,  Tracey for the

great suggestions!

I love painting roosters since my trip to Ireland a few years ago.  My cousin took me to a friend's farm who had oodles of animals and birds and his children had a great time following me around as we photographed some of the critters for future paintings.  I found the roosters to be hysterical little characters and if you have never had a chance to observe them up close, I highly recommend it!  I found this video on youtube that I think gives you an insight into what I am talking about!  Enjoy!

Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
The Wheel of Life (Scribner)
I have never met a person whose greatest need was anything other than real, unconditional love. You can find it in a simple act of kindness toward someone who needs help. There is no mistaking love. You feel it in your heart. It is the common fiber of life, the flame of that heats our soul, energizes our spirit and supplies passion to our lives. It is our connection to God and to each other.

Baltimore Oriole Bird

6" by 6" original oil on gallery wrap canvas with sides painted.

Sing hey! Sing hey!
For Christmas Day;
Twine mistletoe and holly.
For a friendship glows
In winter snows,
And so let's all be jolly!
--Author Unknown

I decided to blog in the morning as I seem to be painting later and later and have no words at the end of the evening! This year I find myself less stressed and feeling less compelled to "make" a Christmas experience for everyone. Instead I am focusing on each day and each moment as it comes and just enjoying my family. I feel so grateful for so many things and I am choosing to focus on those things rather than unrealistic expectations that have whirled around my head in Christmases past. I am grateful for all of you who keep me painting at my easel and share your life and have included my paintings in your gift giving. It gives great purpose to my days and such joy!
If you live along the east coast you might be seeing some snow this holiday season....hope you can stay inside a bit and enjoy some hot chocolate and a warm fire. I was watching Elf the other night and the part where he is chatting with the snowman and the large snowflakes were falling. It reminded me of when I was a child and the snow flakes would pile up on the metal part of our storm door. You could look at each individual snow flake and see how unique each was and how beautiful. I don't think I have had that experience since! I found myself wanting to make paper snow flakes to celebrate the miracle of snow! Wonder if I could find a picture of a snow flake and paint one??? Well, it looks like I have more words in the morning. Have a wonderful Friday!

Still trying to get my focus back after being away the last couple of weeks. I realized that I had not done the drawing for a free painting for this month but I will do it in the next week as I get myself back in my daily routine. I appreciate all the comments and subscribers!

This piece was commissioned for a young man's birthday present and I just finished it last week. I think he will be very surprised and his Mom tells me that the two are inseparable!

Today I made a run up to Richmond to deliver some more paintings. If you are in the Richmond area please stop by Gallery 5800 and tell them I sent you! :-) I am looking forward to time at the beach this weekend with Andrew playing sand soccer. Perhaps some beach themed paintings will find their way into my blog this week! Have a wonderful weekend!

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.

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 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!!

Norma Wilson Original Oil Sea Bird On The Beach

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

This past week I have listed several pieces at .99 cent starting bids! There is no reserve!

I love these little birds when I go for walks here in Virginia Beach. They scamper about at such speed scavenging what the surf has just brough in....no need for aerobics classes when you work so hard for your food! Hope you were out enjoying your weekend and taking in some of the wonderful sunshine. I lived vicariously today by painting this bird. I could see the sun hitting the surf and hear the sounds of the ocean. I am looking so forward to going to Chincoteague in September for our annual paint out. A group of us go for the weekend and paint the local scenery and then enter our paintings into the show on Saturday night. Chincoteague has retained much of its small town feel and is known for the wild ponies that live there. I am sure I will be painting some horses and marsh scenes. I also love to go to the beach there and potograph pictures of the children playing in the surf. Thank you to all of you for visiting my blog and to all of my collectors! Click to Bid!
