Angel in the Garden - SOLD

I am packing my art supplies to get ready for a month at the beach.  I love doing this every year.  I paint almost every day for a future show.  I am painting more and more with a palette knife as in this painting.  I find it very challenging as the thought process before laying down a stroke must be planned carefully before executing.  

I walk Max along the boardwalk at the beach every morning and on the return walk we pass a gorgeous home that has a life size angel in the garden.  I always admire her and wonder what she is thinking.  

This Christmas season I have been so thankful of the angels that have crossed my path.  Several followers of my art took the time to write me a note during the Holiday and I feel so blessed by their comments.  My hope and prayer is that my art would touch someone's heart and soul.  The meeting of some of the folks along the way has been orchestrated in a way I could never have planned or imagined. I have new friendships that mean so much to me and most of these people I have not even met "in person".

The other angels in my life have been friends that have been my friends for many years.  Girlfriends who just call to talk, who want to share their lives with me and mine with them.  We laugh, we cry, we pray for others and we find joy in our times together.  There are even some male angels who send me titles of movies to watch, who comment on my art 

and who buy my art for their wives.  I love you guys!

My family is composed of several angels who make my life complete.  My husband, my kids, my daughter in laws, Max, my grandkids and my extended family.  They are all angels in my garden.

I am like a kid with a new toy!!  I am painting more and more with my palette knife and I love the texture, the way the paint moves and the thought process I have to put into making each stroke.  There are times when the paint just creates the painting without much help from me.  Then there are those other times.........I have learned the palette will also scrape real well :).  I do love this little angel and hope you do as well.  She is so thoughtful.

Bad and Boujee - Sold

I am painting with my large palette knife again and I loved the reference photo for this little girl by Angela Rivera.  I feel in love with the attitude she displays.  I recently saw a little 5 year old Zaza teach Twitch how to dance on the Ellen show.  When he asked her about her personality she said she was "bad and boujee".  She is so cute.  She also told him she felt kind and nice when she was walking like a model.  You can see her at the link below:

When I looked up what boujee means it was noted as slang for something "luxurious in lifestyle yet humble in character."  The little girl I painted certainly displays a little bit of a model pose so I chose the title from Zaza.
