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. Opening the web version of this blog gives the opportunity to purchase any of my how to books/videos, etc..

One of my Favorites
This is a painting of summer roses from my garden. I brought them in and set them on the kitchen table. I am not much for red and orange together... or so I thought... but I loved the two colors together as the roses were against my terracotta wall.
This and several other paintings are on sale this week in my ebay auction. To bid click here

Setting up for our Big Art Sale. What fun we had this weekend!
Thanks to all who came.
Unfortunately our house concert musical artists were unable to join us as they were coming from Dallas and had gone only 10 miles in two hours and had to turn back. That was the bad news.... The good news, an acquaintance was opening a restaurant downtown in the evening and so we took our little party downtown following the show and scarfed down free snacks and drinks followed by a new hand craftsman ( woman) / whiskey tasting group event in the neighborhood.

Gardening
We're in the middle of a snow and ice storm here so I am thinking of gardening and summer weather to keep me warm. I am also gearing up to open the studio tomorrow for a big sale. I have invited some of my favorite artsy people to bring their wares as well and we are all inviting our buyers, friends and family to join us for a cup of tea, a snack and an artsy afternoon. The painting above is one of many that will be for sale at my house. Can't make it across the country? check out my ebay auction instead. To visit my ebay gallery/auctions click here

First Fridays in Tulsa
Scott and I will be spending a portion of our Thanksgiving getting ready for a First Friday Show at the AHHA downtown. They have opened their space to all the different folks who are under the umbrella of the Arts and Humanities Council. Scott and I wear many hats and two of them involve the council. Scott's baby, "House Concerts Unlimited," and mine, " The Art and Healing Program at Hillcrest." Come by and check out our tables and get updates on upcoming shows. Of course, both programs would love to receive a monetary donation from you as both programs run on a shoestring. Our fingers are crossed for continued support of the Art and Healing program from the wonderful doctors at Hillcrest.
We have 3 concerts coming up in December. Check them out on http://houseconcertsunlimited.com
A couple of them will be held at our house and one is too big so it will be at the Woody Guthrie Center. Hope to see some of you out for those events.

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.

I left you a slice :-)

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...

I just put this little daily painting on ebay for auction. Check it out and feel free to cruse through my ebay gallery for more auction original oil paintings. Happy Bidding!

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.
