Hall Flu

This caught my eye while I was bored out of my mind at the art show... framed in silver, matted on off-white, 10" x 8", $65.00.

This was actually taken by my granddaughter, Kelli, while she was in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. I like the abstract design that the lights create.

Beach Lines

This is the "Beach Lines" painting from the show - acrylic, framed, 24" x 30". $695.00.
This painting was awarded a "2nd Place" ribbon at the Woodlands Art League show in April 2013.

Art show September 2012

This is me, with my art wall at the art show. Some paintings, some photos...

Holly reached the end of the trail.

She was such a good dog. This was taken two days before she died.

Magnolia Leaf

This is a small piece, 12" x 9", made from a printmaking process that involves inking an object (in this case, a real magnolia leaf) and then printing it several times. The printmaking ink is applied with a brayer.Several layers are developed until a pattern is achieved. In this piece, I used white, greens, blues and some violet shades. The leaf was very cooperative - it didn't fall apart during the whole process. In the classroom, with my students, I used realistic artificial leaves, and they held up very well. This piece is going to be an auction item, matted and framed, as part of a fundraiser for the Czech Center Museum here in Houston. Minimum bid: $50.00. Valued at $200.00. Sold.
