Super Chicken!

Meet Super Chicken, my xmas present to my hubby, Rick. It's quite a big piece, very colorful & was fun to do. He loves it.

Chloe the Greyhound

This is the finished version of Chloe the Greyhound - who you met in the last post. Our friends, Michael & Yuzuko had the greatest reaction to seeing "her" when I surprised them with it in the guest room over the Thanksgiving holiday.

Meet the Pals!

This is Laura Everitt.

Meet Chris Wallgard.

And this is my latest work, a greyhound, for our friends Michael & Yuzuko, who just adopted an ex-racer named "Chloe" in NY.

The Elephant in the Room

This is a painting for my brother & fellow artist, Sal. He is a big animal lover & asked for this beast for Christmas.

Laura Everitt is Awesome.

Here's Laura's super cool "Give Peace a Chance" Dove - and a gorgeous painting of farm houses. She is so incredible.

Chris Wallgard's One Sexy Lady

See how good Chris is. I told you. This is her version of the "Lady in Waiting." Not sure why we call her that - or what she's waiting for - but it seems to fit.

Vincent Van Jo...sie

My latest & most ambitious...for our good friends the Pallotta's. Horses are fun to paint. Is it just me - or do the colors look AWESUM?

An earlier horse picture...for my honey the cowboy. This hangs above our bed.

This reminded me of my sister Mary & me.

And in sorta the same vein...I did this painting of 3 girls for Mary to symbolize her 3 special girls, Justine, Lisa & Jaclyn.

My Lady in Waiting...with the back of a pro linebacker & plumber's crack! This hangs in the guest room for those who will visit us.

I think this is the most calming & serene painting I've done. It hangs in the breakast room & keeps me mellow while I cook.

I had no idea what to paint for my Mom, Angela, but flowers are always a safe bet, right?

Rick built me some 2'x3' plywood "box" frames early on. They are harder to paint on, but cheap & make a big statement.

This style of blending colors actually took me longer than anything I've painted. You always want to back over it "one more time." Let's just say, with this - I went back 23 more times.
