You’ve heard me say (or read on my blog) for about a year now that:
I use pencils, oil paint and murals to make art you understand of places and things you love at prices that won’t scare you.
Today’s blog is just to show you a few of those custom oil paintings through the years. If you have been following my blog for a few years (or maybe many), these will be familiar to you.
Some go back as far as 11 years! I’ve been oil painting since March 8, 2006, so this should not come as a surprise. What still surprises me is that I feel like a beginner; maybe I need my head examined.
My show “Still Here” is still there, at Arts Visalia, that is. The phone # to make an appointment to see it is 559-739-0905. Gallery hours are Wednesday through Saturday, noon-5:30 (5 on Friday). I will be there on Friday, April 30, the last day; the work will be removed at 5 p.m.

Can I guess which is the hardest? The kids in the stream. I would think people are the most challenging to paint or draw, especially if they are supposed to look like a specific person.
The bottom painting is my favorite, duh! <3
Sharon, Sisters wasn’t as hard as others because I worked from my own photos, which had all the visual info needed. When I worked from other people’s photos, much was implied and inferred, which is another way of saying that much mind-reading was involved. Often in a commission, people request the addition of many things all together that never were meant to be seen together, so that is a huge challenge. HUGE.
Yes! I recognize one of those!
One of the best gifts I have ever given!
Anne, that was a fun little project!
