Welcome to my blog where I post recent photos of my work and journal about my life as an artist. I live and work in Tulsa Oklahoma. It is from my early life in the mountains that I developed a love of the natural world which now includes vast prairies and endless skies. To contact me about a purchase all in lowercase letters you can write me at margee and then my last name @gmail.

Equality Center Fundraiser on Thursday night
Planning a fun evening tomorrow..... Equality Center fundraiser has 3 of my pieces.... a couple of nudes and a portrait. Anyone hoping to own some lovely art AND support a good cause, this is your moment. Speaking of good causes... another fundraiser at AHHA to benefit the Art and Healing program at Hillcrest Hospital. We are doing a Pinot's Pallet kind of thing with hospital staff. We did it a few months ago and folks had so much fun we decided to do it again. Of course anyone who wished to donate to that great cause can always do so through the Arts and Humanities Council. Earmark your gift for the Art and Healing program and the Doctors of Hillcrest will match it twice!

Stairs to Nowhere
It is the 50th anniversary of the bloodiest race riot in the US history. It happened a block away from this site. This is a section of the neighborhood where I live. At present, this is a huge field with many " stairs to nowhere" and a few remnants of old gardens. I took my adult class here in the spring so that they could have the plein aire experience. Nature and time works to heal old wounds. Tulsa has made an effort to mark the massacre and make sure it is now in our Oklahoma history books and has created a remembrance park which teaches about this and other human failings... The Trail of Tears, Slavery in the USA and this riot.

Oil Painting Lessons in Tulsa
If you live in or around Tulsa, OK and have always wanted to learn how to paint, please contact me and join our class. I teach beginners through those who sell their work as established painters. I teach demonstration style but my students always have the option of working independently with help from me as needed. We usually decide as a group, what our subject will be. Right now everyone wanted to learn how to paint a portrait like the masters. We are having a lot of fun with this one and I must say, the class is doing a great job
Here are some pics of past, class projects: some of these are mine and a few are student pieces. As you can see, we are all over the place with style, subject matter but always having fun and learning.

Ballet Dancers by Margaret Aycock
I love this little painting. I was invited, along with other local artists, To attend rehearsals of the Tulsa Ballet before the season opened. I took numerous photos and just sat and observed the lovely dancers. In this painting I focused on the line of this dancer's back which struck me as just beautiful.
