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 Guinea Pig Pet Portrait

Hope you are having a good week so far. I had a really fun day today working with Danna Crawford who is Powerselling Mom on eBay. She gave me some great tutoring on how to develop HTML codes and place them on myspace and also how to create my own listing templates. My brain is a bit fried tonight but I did made some codes to save on my clipboard and left some comments on friend's blogs on eBay. It is a great networking tool. If you would like to see my myspace....go to www.myspace.com/normawilsonfineart. I joined twitter today also if any of you belong to twitter.com. I am not sure how it all works totally but I think I'll know more by tomorrow night. It was a lot to take in today. She uses twitter on her web site. Well enough marketing for tonight. This painting is being done as a commission and it is my first guinea pig! I like how he is coming along. I may tweek him a bit in the next day or so and then I need to begin on my next commission which is a yorkie. Form more information about commissioning a portrait of your special pet, please contact me at normasart@cox.net.

Norma Wilson Original Oil Hydrangea Bouquet Floral Art

20" by 20" original oil on gallery wrap canvas with sides painted.

Today was a good busy day in my studio with a painting that was great fun to do. Hydrangeas are my favorite flower in summer and I love to cut them and put them in a vase in my kitchen too. Hope you are having a great week. My trip to Philadelphia was a good one. It was good to see my siter and her husband and my Mom again. I stopped in Philly and saw my Aunt Mildred too. It was a lot of driving but Andrew and I got to visit and chat in the car along the way. I realized how fast he is growing up and how much I enjoy our time together. Each moment is precious. Til tomorrow.

Norma Wilson Original Soft Pastel Custom Pet Portrait

9" by 12" soft pastel on wallis professional sanded paper.

This piece was done awhile back and is a good example of a commissioned portrait done from a photograph. Many clients give me their favorite photos of their pet and I create a portrait done in either soft pastel or oil. Sometimes they have specific backgrounds in mind or just want the pet to be the main focus. I love animals and am so grateful that I can do something that I love every day. If you have any questions, please e-mail me at normasart@cox.net or call me at 757 729-4136 which is my studio number and we can discuss your needs. Hope you had a great weekend. I enjoyed having my son, Sean here last evening but today he left on his Florida spring break. He left his black lab, Brewsky, here for us to enjoy. I started working with Bark Busters on Friday and training has been going really well. It has been so nice to have a bit of control over the "pack"! Thanks for stopping by!
