This is a painting I did after looking for inspiration on the Internet. One of my favorite painters is the American artist, Dan Gearhart‘s. I first saw his work at the Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa Oklahoma years ago and admired his use of color and his beautiful brushstrokes. Sometimes the best way to learned someone’s technique is to use a painting of theirs and closely observe their techniques. It may not be quite as easy for those who haven’t painted before but this keeps me from having to travel long distances and pay a lot of money for lessons with the masters. What I ended up with is my own version of this painting. Just a note of caution you should not sell these pieces if they are after a living artist andThey should always be marked with the words after, in this case, Dan Gerhertz, and then your own name, or copy of..,,..and then your name
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..

Jillian and her cat. SOLD!
Claire SOLD!
Larry’sHouse SOLD!
This was a commissioned painting of my friend Larry's home. He asked me to include himself, his dog and if I could squeeze his cat into one of the flower pots he would be happy. This is what I ended up with... thanks to my husband who posed on the front steps for me.

My Covid gallery for this month is the YWCA in Tulsa Oklahoma
My Covid gallery for this month is the YWCA in Tulsa Oklahoma. The new director at the Y asked me if I could fill his walls with color and I told him yes! It’s a perfect place to hang. Lots of great light and of course lots of walls. If you’re in Tulsa stop by. It’ll be up for the month of February and into March. When you get there just tell them you’re there To view the artwork as it is a members only and Covid precautions kind of place right now. It’s at 18th and Lewis in Tulsa
