James Memorial Local Artists

My fellow artist here in Williston, Susan Richardson and I visited our works on display down at the James Memorial Art Center today. We both took pictures........recorded for posterity...Haha. Proof we have art hanging in an art center!

Fluff- Black Sabbath

Fluff- Black Sabbath....8x8 Oil on Gessobord. Now when you think of Black Sabbath you think of heavy metal, but this song is an instrumental calming wonder. Love it. In honor of Easter coming up I decided to try this piece of fluff from the morguefile. The addition of a tiny piece of Klimt on the side adds a balance to the dark black eye. What do you think?

I'll Follow The Sun- The Beatles

I'll Follow The Sun- The Beatles 14x11 Oil on Gessobord. Getting ready for a local art showcase at the James in Williston. Decided I needed something larger and new to submit. Tim and I stopped and took photos of the sunflower farms last summer. They are so happy and colorful....and they follow the sun!

Listen Here.

Black Coffee- Humble Pie

Black Coffee- Humble Pie. 6x6 Oil on Gessobord. Here is another colorless one. I think it will be the end. I opened my palette today, looked at the black and white paint ...and thought...okay one more. I have hauled this french press around with me for awhile. I bought it in Guatemala and had some of the freshest coffee there using it. My husband bought coffee freshly ground from a grower just a few miles away. Sooooo Good. I have been known to burst out in the morning....these lyrics..."Black Coffee. That's what I want, That's what I need." Great song....

Make It With You- Bread

Make It With You- Bread.....6x6 Oil on Gessobord. The challenge this week on Daily Paintworks is a break from color. Anyone who has seen my paintings knows I really bump up the color...so this one was certainly a challenge! I was blocked for two days until I was in the kitchen and found this! I love, love, love, my Kitchenaid mixer. I could never do with out it. I almost titled this "I Need You." This song of course was written about something totally different. HaHa. I used Lamp Black and made 5 different grays and white. 

Listen to the music

Forever Man- Eric Clapton

Forever Man- Eric Clapton. 10"x7" Oil on SourceTek Linen Panel. Clapton sings, "Won't you be my forever woman, Ill try to be your forever man." The challenge on Daily Paintworks this week is animals that mate for life, and who doesn't like fluffy white swans? So serene and majestic. 

Here is the music

One and Only- Adele

One and Only- Adele..6x6 Oil on Gessobord. Kinda going out of my norm here with this one. I usually choose rock and roll songs....but, I think Adele is fantastic. This one took me longer than I expected, I just couldn't get the pink right. It is supposed to be a cone flower, but I am thinking I might have missed that? 

Here is the music.
