Fine Ride (antique car).......Oil Painting

Fine Ride................16x20
I love this color so much that I painted my kitchen the same color.  I think this is a nostalgic painting. My research tells me this is an old Ford from the 50's.

Beer Tap Handles........oil painting

12x24.................On Tap
This painting is from a photo I made when my husband and I were eating lunch at Mugshots one day. I had the painting with me at one of my shows and a lady saw it and commissioned one for her husband for their anniversary.  She chose beers that they had enjoyed during their courtship and early marriage.  Men are sometimes hard to buy for....What a great gift!

Sale on Oil Painting.....New Orleans Musician

Strolling Musician.......24x36

This is something I don't EVER do. I am running a sale on this painting. Normally if a painting hangs around for a while and just doesn't sell, I paint over it or something of that sort. But I love this painting. I want to see it go to a good home. If you think you could love this painting too, contact me with a story of why you like it and we can talk business....I am going to offer it at a drastically reduced rate (the better your story about why you want it, the better the price will be) lol.

I just don't want to paint over it. Share this blog post with friends, think gift for a musician that you know (that you are willing to buy an oil painting for.) If you know the owner of Court of Two Sisters share it with them. lol The painting measures 24x36 and it would love to come live with you.

Grove on Game Day.........Oil Paintings

Lyceum as Seen Through the Grove.............12x24

Game Day in the Grove.................12x24

Early Morning in the Grove...........24x24

These are three different views of the Grove on game day.  With football season firing up this will be a familiar sight to many.   Two of these paintings are still available, but one is gone to a forever home.  However, someone saw the one that sold before it sold and commissioned a similar one.  The owner is on her way to pick it up any minute as I write this...

Floral in Striped Vase.....Oil Painting

Flowers in Striped Vase.........12x24
This painting I loved so much I decided to keep it.  but I have another one that is similar coming up soon.  I will be posting my new work (the stuff that's still wet right now) soon.  but for now I am posting things from the spring.

Update....sorry to those that subscribe to my blog and have gotten this as a second post for today.  We are going to be out of town for a couple of days and I was scheduling a few posts to be sent while we are gone and I forgot to put the post-dated date.  Pretend you didn't see this till Friday.  Thanks.

I like the vertical format of this one.  It's about as southern as it gets.

Aglio Y Olio...........Oil Painting

Aglio y Olio.........10x20

When we went to Italy we discovered a delightfully simple dish.  Apparently it's sort of one of those dishes Italian moms make when they have to make something quick and haven't been to the grocery store.  Aglio y Olio means garlic and oil.  So it's basically pasta (and we are talking fresh Italian pasta! yum) and garlic and olive oil.  Throw on a little freshly grated parmesan cheese.  So simple, yet so good.

It's Chili in Here.......Oil Paintings

 8x24..........It's Chili in Here I and II

Yesterday it was a little chili (actually two little chilies).  Today it's two big chilies. Just for truth in advertising, I don't think the chilies themselves were any bigger than yesterday's, it's just the paintings that are different.
