This was a commissioned piece for a client. It was a lot of fun to do. The only problem was trying to align all the easels.

This is a portrait of an artist that I have never met. We participated in a portrait swap. The site is a must see. It is called Different Strokes for Different Folkes and is hosted by Karin Jurick an amazing artist. It was really fun to participate in all the weekly challenges the past few months. This end of the year challege was a surprise and I enjoyed it a lot. I was especially surprised to find my portrait done as fast as I had completed mine. The portraits are due by January 7th. I had fun painting my given artist and hope he likes his portrait. I love mine!

This was a fun piece. This was done for the Different Stokes for Different Folks Blog by Karin Jurick. After I was done I used this subject for my afternoon students. I started the class doing a 10 min demo then the kids went to town. We used pastel on black matt board. Here is the demo

This painting was done for my weekly challenge given by Karin Jurick (different stokes for different folks]. It was a great image to work from and enjoyed painting it. It was fun because my family is visiting for the holidays so while I was painting this I had my two nieces, nefew, sister in law and one of my sons all painting too. Happy Thanksgiving!

This painting I feel is a metaphore for that peace we are always looking to attain. In most cases that kind of peace comes from painting, a day at the beach, a hike or long bike ride I can think of a few more but will stop their. I am doing a show this weekend in Wilmington. I love to go to Wilmington NC the people there are so nice! I can also get a nice waterside view for a peaceful meal the night before the show. When I get back I will have family visit for a week. It will be tough to do this week Different Stokes for Different Strokes challenge. I really like the subject so will do my best to get it done on time.
