This beautiful gal charmed her family for thirteen years and her "Mom" asked if she could be a model for this month's challenge. Thanks so much for allowing me to spend time with Roxanne! She looks like a strong and loving soul.

This southern belle hails from South Carolina where she lives with her sister who is a Corgi like her and every bit as cute. She will be featured this month also and her name is Lucy. Thank you to her human Mom, Luanne for allowing me to spend time with her at my easel. Look at those big brown eyes. Don't you just want to give her a treat?

Hope your day is off to a great start. I am excited to spend time in my studio today working on a beautiful fox in wonderful light. Tonight I teach my oil painting class and we will be working on a landscape with a lake. Once a month we do a painting together and it is

always fun to see how each person interprets and portrays the subject. It is so much fun! If you live local and would like to join us, send me an email at normasfineart@gmail.com.

Happy Memorial Day weekend. Hope you are enjoying some sunshine and fun this weekend as we

kick off the summer and remember those who have served our country.  I wanted to share this

sweet little dog who was a birthday gift for a client. She commissioned me to paint Beatrice from photos she emailed me. I love painting people's furry friends and usually work from their photos. If you have a gift for 

a friend in mind or want to have your pet painted, you can email me at normasfineart@gmail.com for more

This month, my oil group worked on pomegranates.  It was a great lesson in lost and found edges and all the nuances that make a pomegranate different than a tomato and and apple. Pomegranates are very lumpy and have a very hard exterior with lots of markings.  It was fun to paint and eat too!  I did this ahead of teaching my class and did another one in stages along with my class.  I think painting one that is cut may be in future.  Hope you have a wonderful day.  Thanks for stopping by!

Been watching a video about juicing...how appropriate.  Apparently pears make green juice the sweetest!  Pears have always been of fascination over the ages in art as well.  They just lend themselves

to a beautiful composition and lovely subject matter.  Hope you are having a great weekend, getting out and about in this wonderful weather we have been experiencing.  Thanks for checking in with me!

Today's theme for our painting group was seascapes with people.  I first saw these two boys on a trip to South Carolina.  They reminded me of when my boys were little and shared many an adventure on our trips to the ocean.  They loved the little sand crabs that are so speedy as they run along the beach and dig their way into the sand.  I loved playing with all the colors I saw in the water and the texture and movement in the water.  Capturing the moment that the children were experiencing together was great fun.  We all really enjoyed this theme and I  know with so much inspiration surrounding me that there will be more!  Have a wonderful day...hope you find time for some fun and adventure!

Norma Wilson Original Oil Irish Landscape Seascape Cottage

Cottage By Galway Bay

6" by 8" original oil on masonite board

Many yearsago, on a trip to Ireland with my mother, we traveled with my Aunt and cousin from Waterford to the other side of Ireland to the rocky west coast of Galway. This painting was inspired by a photograph taken on that trip. I used to dream as a little girl of returning to Ireland to live in one of these little cottages that dot the seaside and seem so enchanting with their white washed exteriors and thatched roofs. Today I was able to live a little bit of that dream while I painted. I did this small study in preparation of doing a large one for my mother who wants to put it over her sofa. Then I can almost walk into it and stay a bit! :-) Hope it will remind her of her homeland and bring a smile to her face each time she sees it.
