Landscape Framed

Framed landscape painting.  This one hangs in my living room because I love it so much.  It reminds me of growing up in a small town where the cows out numbered the people.  It also brings to mind..... smells........ that most people think are gross.

Charity

This painting with gold leaf may never get done.  Here a link to a post of the same project.  http://hawsart.blogspot.com/2013/02/bfa-work-in-progress.html

Pen and Ink Sketch

I have been using an ink grinder and an ink stick to grind my own ink.  Lots and lots of joy....... and much fun!!!!!!!  It actually works better than the normal waterproof india ink on the water color paper.  Plus I can get some great variety in tone.

Dragon in Super Sculpey

I was testing paint on Super Sculpey.  Kind of fun!!!!

Super Sculpey to the rescue!!!, Mayflower Ship

This is a mini sculpture that I have been working on.  The clay is various types of Super Sculpey (Firm, Beige/Original, and 50/50 mix).  I started this project with a different type of clay it was awful, like sculpting with taffy.  Super Sculpey works more like Plasteline.  I have been using Plasteline since I was a kid.  I love Plasteline.

This painting is going to be auctioned off to help support a kidney donation.  It is an oil painting of  "Bridal Veil Falls".

Work in Progress

This is some of the progress of the painting that I am 

working on.  I am so excited for this painting.  

Beautiful Jackson Hole Lake

I am really glad that cloud was in front of the sun.  The 

sky radiates warm colors to cool, and the mountains are 

disappearing into the distance.  

Pen Face Sketch

I found myself sitting and waiting...... so I did 

a sketch.   Regular "Bic" Pens are fun because 

you can get a half-tone with a light touch.
