Memories From Red River Revel 2015...

I have so many wonderful memories from the 8 day art show that I just returned from.  I have many long-time friends and collectors in Shreveport.  It was so great to see everyone.  Special memories from 2015 include:

• Meeting a special young lady named Carson.  She really left an impression on me.  This young lady is going places.  She introduced me to Zentangling.  (Look it up) I sent her a small Heart painting....she is a sweetheart!  
• Seeing clients from the past....the Heberts, the Gambels, the Hubbards, Barbara, and others that are so sweet to come and visit me every year.
• Seeing other artists, some that I only see once a year.
• Being back with the fabulous Revel staff....Kevin, Christie, Cathy, and our "Revel Mom" Tony.
• Meeting Shreveport artist and poet, Gary, and receiving an awesome sculpture and poem from him.
• Having my sweet husband arrive a day earlier than I expected him.
• Sharing the Revel with my daughter, who came with me the first time in 2009 and my daughter-in-law and grandtwins who were there for the first time this year.

I hope to do the Revel again next year!  I think I met some new people that will be needing new art by then.   

Fanciful florals...........Oil Paintings

20x24........................Flowers by the Window

8x24..........Updated Floral

12x24...........Soft Floral

12x24..........Vibrant Bouquet

12x12....................Magnolia close-up

10x20.............Traditional Floral

12x12...........................Floral Fancy

I really loved playing around with the different styles of floral paintings this summer.  Some are fairly realistic, and some are quite fanciful.  They all make me smile.  

Abstracts......ribbons of color................Oil Paintings

 36x36...............................Sunrise,Sunset

30x30.................................If the Rain Comes

I have done some abstracts such as this in the past on a much smaller scale.....such as 6x6 inches.  I was asked by an art consultant if I could do them on a larger scale.  I think these qualify.  I can't wait to play around with this some more.
