"Bitchy Cups" --- not for sale



My husband's ex-wife, Jen, and I are writing a book about our situation and how we've created a partnership/friendship for the good of our extended "family" (and us). The book is called "No One's the Bitch," (http://www.noonesthebitch.com) and we have this idea for tea parties we can throw where mothers and stepmothers get together and talk about their issues. I did this painting of tea cups we picked out together for...well possibly for the cover of the book. It may take several more tries to get it right.

"Old Elgin" --- SOLD



I went to historic Elgin, TX with my plein air group today. It was VERY windy, and the sun kept going behind clouds, but we had a good time.

"In the Shadow of Perfection" --- n/a



I found this "perfect" red pitcher at a junk shop on Monday. It was a little too pricey for me so I tried to bargain with the owner. Apparently it's some kind of designer pitcher and they wouldn't budge on the price. Since then it's been on mind, so today, Friday, I went back and bought it. :)

"Dominance" --- n/a



Which is more dominant, the bigger, fancier sugar bowl, or little red marble?

"When Pigs Fly" --- SOLD



My husband brought this squishy pig home from work the other day for me to paint. He borrowed it from a guy named John Hawkins, whom I have yet to meet but I'm sure is a swell guy. Thanks John!

"Ranch Truck"



I'm going out on a limb here and posting a landscape. I guess you could say they're not my forte...but I try anyway. I belong to Plein Air Austin, and today our group went to this nice ranch near Kyle, Texas. It was very cold and would have been miserable except I was sharing the experience with all my lovely painting buddies. This is not for sale.

More commissions...SOLD





I have no time to paint today, so I am posting these two already sold paintings. These were commissioned by a very sweet couple from Abilene, TX.

"Layers" --- SOLD



I didn't get this one photographed before the sun went down, so I had to use my studio lights. I will get a better photo tomorrow and replace this one.

"Gold Pitcher" --- n/a



I found an old junk store in Georgetown this morning and found this and a few other goodies. This pitcher is actually very small...I suppose you can't tell here.

Commissions...SOLD






I've been under the weather the last couple of days and haven't been able to paint. But, I thought I would go ahead and post a couple of recent commissions. These are both sold.
