Family from the 50's

Finalizing the tail end of th oil painting,24 x36 of a friends vintage photo.
As I paint it,I'm energized by the fact that this person has meaning to me in life. I have a friendship with him. It means allot to me to do a painting of his mom and dad.
Learning to paint skin is the challenge. Got the book, now get practicing.

After that, on to a fun one. The plan is to paint with fabulous colors.
Pastels ,polka dots, strips and candy colors on a group of sisters from Ohio.
Then on to a small painting of a horse and it's rider. I have always drawn horses.
Finally, I bought one to ride in the Lower Arroyo. Great therapy for the soul.

Kitchen remodeled!

Now, our kitchen is finished and glorious. My husband ,Mark, is fabulous. He put the Ikea kitchen together online. It came on a truck and he assembled each cabinet. The contractors painted moved the water heater, and made my studio a usable space. Thank you, Luke, Chris, Alfredo, & Juan.
