When We Stand Together- Nickelback

When We Stand Together- Nickelback. 6x6 Oil on Gessobord. The challenge on Daily Paintworks this week is weird or irregular shadows. I thought of this immediately! My friend Susan had seen these beautiful poppies at a home in Williston, North Dakota. We stopped and asked permission to take a few photos of her beautiful flowers. She was very eager to stop and chat; and even show us her beautiful garden beyond the fence. 

Here is the music

Sultans of Swing- Dire Straits

Sultans of Swing- Dire Straits. 20x20 Canvas. The challenge this week is something related to school starting. I saw this image on the morge file and loved the shadows. Not as easy as I thought it would be! Yikes, it never is:) Anywhoo, I am very happy with the results.

Canon Rock- Jerry C

Canon Rock- Jerry C..24x12 Wrapped Gallery Canvas. I have been painting a lot, just have not been posting! The inspiration for this painting was a trip to Cannon Beach , Oregon last year in October. I wanted to go to the beach so bad to get my ocean fix we convinced our relatives to go with us. It was cold and foggy and I totally loved it! 

Here is the music...which ROCKS!

Gimme Some Lovin'- The Spencer Davis Group

Gimme Some Lovin'- The Spencer Davis Group. 8x8 Gessobord. The 30 Paintings in 30 Days started today, so here is number 1. Another one for the Billings ArtWalk. Photo by Casey Page of the Billings Gazette. For every painting sold during the ArtWalk, I will donate a portion to the Billings Animal Rescue Kare. It is a good cause:)

Here is the music... The Blues Brothers also recorded this.

Everyday People- Sly and The Family Stone

Everyday People- Sly and The Family Stone. 6x6 Gessobord. I have had to take my pics with my iPad as we have been on the road for three weeks, so not as good as usual. The challenge this week on daily paintworks is the crowd challenge. Ugh. This was very difficult. I worked the faces to death. My people skills( haha) are a bit to be desired. I finally arrived at something that I thought I could live with. I love the lady in the front...the lavender bag and the orange shoes! What! Here is the music.

Hate To Say I Told You So- The Hives

Hate To Say I Told You So- The Hives.. 6x6 oil on Gessobord. This weeks challenge is a cows! I have been wanting to paint them for awhile! For this one I covered my board with a burnt sienna wash, drew on my cows and then wiped out the white areas. Then I let it dry overnight. The next day I mixed my shadow colors and tried not to muddy up the colors putting them on. I am really happy with the way it turned out! Here is the music...which is a really good song! 

The Ocean- Led Zeppelin

The Ocean- Led Zeppelin-6x6 on Gessobord. The challenge this week on Daily Paintworks is seaside. Carol Marine provided this fabulous pic of these cliffs. I loved the shadow the cliffs cast on the sand.
