All things work together for good !

This is one of my favorites. Six of us took a copy of a famous painting; don't even remember which one.

We cut it up in 6 pieces and each person took their piece home to their studio and duplicated, in some fashion, what they saw. We could use paints, collage, whatever; it just had to resemble the original in color, so that they would work together when we brought them all back. We used acrylic medium to attach to a backing and this is what resulted. We donated it to the Art Auction, and I bought it. It reminds me of all the gals that worked on it and it brightens up my dining room wall. A really fun project.

Floral Paintings

Many of my floral paintings are being moved this weekend from the Cultural Arts Center, to the VA Hospital in Temple, TX. They will grace the lobby area, and hopefully give some cheer to our service men and women and their families. These florals are bright and pretty, and they remind me of who is in charge of this beautiful earth. It is an awesome thought, and we are here to enjoy, tend, and paint the beauty. Hopefully the art will give joy and healing to some, and perhaps help others reflect on life and be grateful.
