"Fat Twosday" --- big #3 -Sold

14"x18" mix media on canvas 

Happy Mardi Gras! The festive look of this painting is just right for today, Fat Tuesday in New Orleans.

Not as big as the last painting, but it is bigger than the itty bitty's I painted last month.

Saturday, "monsters" was the theme with the young painters of Cookies and Canvas. I love all the creativity going on here.

A lot of monsters here!

Three monster painters.

Everyone learned what Cyclops means. One-eyed monster.  : )

"Manhattan Night" ---#29 -Sold

8"x6"x1.5" mixed media on canvas

Oh my goodness, what happened to Wednesday! May have been that "Manhattan Night". Just kidding, I had a pretty busy day yesterday and this painting was not ready to post. Some things take time.  : )

This little guy is not quite the 4 foot by 2 foot painting. It is the warm up for the larger painting. This little 8 inch by 6 inch gave me a chance to experiment with some of the techniques and materials that I want to use with the larger painting. Maybe February will be "Big Painting Month".

I have one more spot left on the sheet of paper of martini paintings. I have the last one started and I will photograph the full page of 8 before I individualize them (tear them apart).

More later!

"Perfect Little Manhattan" ---#22 -Sold

3"x2" mixed media on canvas

Oh, one more "Perfect Little Manhattan" for me then I'll tell you a little story. Yes, that is what they say when it's very late, you're tired, you want to go to sleep, but you're just too polite to ask them to go home.

Ah, those were the days. The above doesn't happen anymore, you just go to bed and let them sleep on the sofa!

Enjoy a perfect little manhattan tonight!

"Manhattan Monday" ---#20

4"x2" acrylic on canvas

It's Monday, a good day for a nice Manhattan. I'm sensing a theme here for the Monday's. I realize that I painted "Monday Manhattan" last Monday! Or maybe it has something to do with the fact that they both start with the letter "M".

I wanted to show you all the grid of martini paintings as they are slowly being finished.

The grid is slowly being finished.

Enjoy your Manhattan!
