Hibiscus

"Hibiscus" was a request from my friend Rachel. I did two for her. She has been very patiently waiting, but I am afraid to give them to her. Flowers are not my forte, but they were fun to do.

 

A flower for Rachel

This is for you girl!

 

Corinne

Our granddaughter Corinne at three months old. She is a joy and a blessing to our family.

 

The Art of Caring

 

This is a sketch of my nephew Matt. He is a nurse at Children's Hospital in Atlanta GA. This picture was taken without Matt's knowledge. It is of Matt with one of his patients, a little boy suffering from a blood disease.
I named this "The Art of Caring". As a nurse myself I look at the nursing profession as an art. "The Art of Caring".

Rachel

Rachel is a sweet beautiful young lady. Very loving and thoughtful.
She has beautiful soft curly hair, She does not like poofy hair, but I made her fluff her hair for this picture. She is a real sweetie!

Boo...

Boo is my friends Johanna and Jenny's little dog. He is a cutie and just full of himself and energy. They adopted him from a rescue in Canton, GA called Bear's World.I did this drawing of him to say....Thank you for all your help!
Johanna, Jenny and family have helped me by taking in three of the 8 (now 9) pups that had been abandoned around Thanksgiving. It is time for them to be altered and begin going to their new homes.
Thank you.....Johanna and Jenny!

A self portrait and Elizabeth and Maggie

I wanted to do a self portrait but I wanted it to say "ME".
I wanted it to reveal who I am, at least in my own mind.
I did this painting of myself because it shows love.
I do not look at it as that I love animals or just dogs...but
"I LOVE".
I love God, I love people, I love animals, I love life.
This is Tahg, an Irishwolf Hound that I sent to Idaho.
He was a sweetheart...a big sweetheart.
I am so blessed to have so much to love in my life!



I did this painting of my nieces Elizabeth and Maggie for my mother-in-law Lynda for Christmas.
I had it framed in antique white with Forrest green and grape colored matting.
This picture was made of the girls many years ago in their pretty white slips and in a field of lavender....so pretty.

Buck Creek

 
Jesse Roberts was a dear family friend and brother in Christ. He was a loving husband to Sue for over 50 years.
He was a loving father to Deborah, Denise, Diana and Delane. He adored his grandchildren.
He loved the Lord and was a dedicated elder of the Bremen Church of Christ for many, many years.
Jesse is no longer with us on this earth, he has gone to a place where the righteous go when they leave this world.
We miss him so much.

Taylor Beth and Jenny

My latest watercolor is of a beautiful little girl and my calico kitten.
Taylor Beth is a good friend of mine. She and her family are part of our church family at the Bremen Church of Christ.
She told me her favorite animal is the cat......Jenny is such a sweet kitten .
They are both beautiful girls!!

Drawing of my neighbors kids

Here are my neighbor's kids and a couple of their pets...

Jenny and the hound

Nathan and Beauty

These drawings are for Christmas presents for grandparents :-))
Hope they like them!

Pouty Skylar

I asked Honey for a picture of Skylar at the beginning of the summer.
I was suppose to start my watercolor portrait class then, but I didn't get to start until six weeks ago. So here is "Pouty Skylar". The picture that I used as a reference was made in June. She has really grown since them.
This is a Watercolor Portrait. Skylar is so sweet....inside and out!!

New watercolor class

I am now taking a watercolor portrate class.
It is very exciting. My instructor is Wanda Cox, and she does beautiful work.
I hope to post a couple of new things soon.

My Harley

Here is my first Impressionist work.
It is of my Great Dane, Harley.
She was on the couch, as usual, when I had finished another piece, for fun I began to draw her....then paint. I like it.
It is different from my other work.....but fun.
This will remain in my collection,

A stagehound named Jed

I met my new friend Dione after posting my litter of five staghound puppies for adoption.
She was very instrumental in helping me find homes for them and assisted with getting two of the pups to their new homes....
I did the drawing of Jed her oldest staghound as my way of saying THANK YOU DIONE for your hours on the road and in hotel rooms getting these pups home!

Polo Horse

This is a polo horse named Deno.

He belongs to my neighbor.

I did this watercolor for

me to frame and hang in my home.

It is the first painting that I have made prints of.

Precious Children

I did this drawing of Johnny and Melanie's children as a surprise for Johnny at camp.
Melanie and the kids were in on it.
I worked off and on for a couple of weeks.
Drawing people is new to me and I really wanted to do a good job.
Chris was very encouraging during the process.
Johnny has been a big part of our family.
First of all he is our brother in Christ, the youth minister at the Bremen Church, he performed the marriage ceremony for Jake and Julie and was very instrumental in Jake getting a great job. He has also been very active (Director) with Bible Camp over the past several years.

Of course Melanie has been right by his side through everything!

Thank-you Johnny and Melanie.......
Victoria, Olivia and Connor.

I had it framed before I took the pictures, so I apologize for all the glare.
