Louise's Choclolate Cake
Guaranteed to not add a pound to your weight or an inch to your waistband. It is that time of year again. No, not the time to eat cake.... well maybe a little cake wouldn't hurt.... but the time for me to put a bunch of daily paintings on auction for holiday giving. This is one of my favorites. I left you a slice :-)

Peter Piper Picked and Painted a Peck of Persimmons
I am working on some small pieces for an upcoming show at Doran Gallery and at our annual Holiday sale at my house. I am painting as quick as I can and eating persimmons to keep up my strength :-) If you would like an official invite to the house sale, let me know and I will send one right out to your email. Love to see some of you. Going to have about 8 or so artists selling their work... jewelers, basket weavers, knitters, as well...

Sketching at Oxley Nature Center
It was beat the clock.... I love this low sun but when the gloaming comes around the light pops off in a mater of seconds. We only had about 45 minutes to get down some of the important elements, color shapes, etc. I think I have something to work with though.
A walk down a woodland path
This was
painted after visiting Provence, France. Our favorite exchange student (
daughter ) Katharina met us there for several days. This was painted
from a photo of she and my husband walking down a path in the woods next
to a convent where we stayed.
11x14 Oil on stretched and back stapled canvas.

Approaching Storm 6x6 oil
Nothing like a storm on the ocean after you have driven 30 hours to get there for vacation. grrrr... It is a great time to take some dramatic photos to be used later for paintings though... silver lining...

Pre Raphaelite Girl with her Cat by Margaret Aycock
Somehow cats keep popping up magically in my paintings these days. I lost my sweet little kitty cat a few month ago and I guess she is still in my mind. Anyways this was a class assignment and of course I don't want to be left out so I always paint with the class... I demonstrated techniques along the way. I am loving what the class is doing with this. One did a draped nude with a panther laying next to her and one is holding a baby bear. Fun. ( notice how lazy I am.... hiding that hand under the cat :-). My excuse is time is of the essence in class and I didn't have time to devote to it. booohahaha....Anyways this one is on auction on ebay right now. To bid and visit my ebay gallery click here

Violin with Moon Flowers
To Purchase
My friend and excellent luthier, Jacob Mehlhouse, ( Tulsa Strings ) gave me this blank to paint. The price for the violin includes a fully completed instrument, strung and ready to play. Please allow time for Jacob to put all the parts together. Shipping will occur only after completion. I was inspired by the blooming moon flowers outside in my garden. They seem like a musical, magical flower, blooming just as it begins to get dark, filling the air with a sweet perfume. It is my hope that the one who purchases this instrument will also fill the air with the sweet perfume of your music. Got a different design in mind? Let me know and we will work with you on a custom instrument.

Red Roses on Terracotta
Normally I wouldn't think I would like a composition in mostly reds and oranges but I brought roses in from the garden and being in a hurry to capture them on canvas, set them up in my kitchen which has light terracotta walls. I really liked how the roses looked against that color. This painting is on auction this week on ebay. If you are interested in bidding or visiting my other auctions, click here

My TCC class project
For this project we all started out with the same photo of a lovely, costumed woman. I demonstrate the process that we will all follow to complete the painting but allow each student to choose the model's surroundings and since I have a class full of animal lovers, they also chose an animal that would sit upon her lap. This is turning out to be a lot of fun. We are nearing completion.
Painting in the great outdoors in Oklahoma
We had a delightful plein air workshop at the RossMar Ranch this weekend. I had 10 eager painters with me. The weather held out for the whole day although it was a bit nippy in the morning. Thanks to my layers of long underwear and multiple shirts, sweaters and jackets, I was prepared for what ever the day had to offer. I demonstrated one oil sketch in the morning and one in the afternoon. We will take both back into the studio this Thursday and will work with any students who want to complete their paintings. ( Mine included as they are not quite ready for prime time :-)
