These Roosters were at Grant's farm in St. Louis. They make a nice pair. 8x10 acrylic. Grant's Farm has a tram that takes you to see General Grant's cabin, wildlife, animal shows, the Clydesdales, and free beer at the end.

We went to St. Louis this fall and met the McCloskeys for Anna's fall break. Julia,their German Exchange student was with them. We had lots of fun doing tourist things (The arch, Grant's farm, The Magic house, etc.) This is "The Arch" Acrylic and Ink on Black paper. 8x10. I love how bright the colors look against the black.

Well, we don't have rocks and reeds in front of our place and maybe the water isn't this blue-green, but we do have lots of egrets and herons. This is "White Egret" 8x10 Acrylic on Black mat board. At least our lake is full and it is beautiful waking up in the morning and seeing all the wonderful wildlife.

Original of the "Pinnacle Bridge Summer" is SOLD, but prints are available. 8x10. I hope to get a painting of fall and spring and make a box of note cards. Right now notecards may be purchased with four of each. Note cards with 8 cards and envelopes are only $10. Free delivery in the Pinnacle.

We actually had snow... and a couple of times. It was beautiful. This is from a picture I took of the covered bridge. The original is available as are prints. (Prints are available for all of my artwork as are note cards) "Pinnacle Bridge Winter" Acrylic on black paper. 8x10.

This pastel is from a photo I took at Joe T. Garcias where out group had dinner. It was a beautiful evening on the patio. Not quite sure why I attempted something so complicated. It is 24x18 on Wallis pastel board. "Joe T. Garcias"

It's a winner! 1st Place!

I am so excited! My first juried art show (81st Annual Henderson County Art Show) and I won a First Place for my pastel "Arboretum Artistry" This is from a photo I took at the Athen's Arboretum. I also won a Merchant's Award and the People's Choice Award! Another painting won an Honorable Mention. This is still available...for $200. Must be worth more after all the awards? 16x20 framed in a simple black frame with glass. I also sold about 20 boxes of notecards. Boxes of 8 with 4 designs sell for $10. I will post those later. This design is part of the Texas Blues collection.
