Title: “Honey Bear”

Dimensions: 7″x5″

I use this little guy almost every day. Honey is great in tea, on buttered toast and one of my favorites, on toast with peanut butter and sliced bannanas.

Title: “Checking Out”
Dimensions: 7″x5″
Medium: Oil on Hard Board

I went to the Monet in Normandy exhibit at the NC Museum of Art in Raleigh and had lunch with some friends there. The restaurant was very busy and everyone seemed to be running around at top speed. This waitress paused for a moment to check out a customer, just enough time for me to get her picture. The texture of her hair contrasted with the smooth mirror behind her, and the gold frame glowed even in the low lighting.

Here is a 5″x5″ oil painting I did of a bow.

It’s wonderful how a pretty bow can make a package beautiful.

I did it! I joined the ranks.

In November I set a goal to get myself established on the web. Even though I’ve had a website for a few years, I haven’t made the leap into the blogsphere…that is until now. I’ve also decided to try and sell my artwork directly by putting my work up for sale on the web.

It all came to fruition today. Here is my first post, and yesterday I posted my first listing on ebay. My goal is to try to paint something every day. This is going to be a huge challenge for me but I think I’ll be a better artist for it. It will be an exercise of sorts. Training myself to see better, understand color relationships, handle the medium better – all things that contribute to ones artistic growth.

I hope you enjoy looking at my art as much as I enjoy creating it.
