This clipboard is one I will use to hold my picture up so I can see how to paint.

Don't know if you can see it  but it is dedicated "In memory of Dottie Ree Chestnut" ,my mother.  Because she has never seen my paintings.  She would have been so proud of every one of them.  Plus she loved yellow roses.  Love you Mama!

I GOT IT! I got this Kodak stuff to my blog at last! LILY OF THE VALLEY

I started this picture about 5 or 6 weeks ago.  But I could not get this Kodak Gallery to copy it to my blog for some reason.  So ........FINALLY... ti works!  This small picture took me about 4 weeks to complete.  But it is so beautiful!  Hope you like it as much ass I do?

Georgia National Fair !!!

I worked at the Georgia National Fair in Perry, GA. on Thursday with one of my painting buddies, Pennie Sunderman.  We were selling Christmas ornaments that had been hand painted and Make 'N Take for the kids. 
Pennie had put several beautiful pieces of her artwork in the fair to be judged and she got first place on most of them!  Yahoo to Pennie!!!  Go girl!!!

Painted water drops on some pictures on Saturday!

They turned out gorgeous!!!  Hope you can see them.

"Jingle bells! Jingle Bells!" Oops! Didn't know that you had popped in on me!

Wish you could see them up close and personal!

But it is almost Christmas time again you know!?  And here's some ornaments that I been painting for that occassion!

What about a multi-colored rooster in HD?

This is what I painted at art class on Monday!  This rooster is painted with HD paints!  Cool! Huh!

Blackberry Delight is the name of this picture!

It took me a day and a half to paint this beauty!  But, OH, how gorgeous it is!  Hope the picture does it justice!

Heart of Georgia Painters

Last Saturday September 12, 2009 the Heart of Georgia Painters met at the Salvation Army building in Warner Robins, Ga.  Everyone painted cards except me and Paulette Marshal.  Paulette painted beautiful Santa ornaments.  Wish you could have seen them!  They were gorgeous!!!

And I painted a wooden lap desk inspired by Sandy McTier.  I will be working on the basket some more.  But I plan to keep this one for my painting supplies.  Check it out!

We have a new edition to our family! Chi-Chi!!!! Our new Chihuahua!

This is Jerry's 6 week old chihuahua that he bought on Sept. 12, 2009.  But Alice gets to take care of it.  I don't know yet if this is going to work out.  She is name after enchilades( I think that's how you spell it.)  But the name on the chi-chi's bottle confirmed the name.

Enjoy the pictures anyway.  Have a blessed day!

Tuesday Night Painting-- and look what happened!

This is a Crafty Wave project of Donna Dewberry's! All I done was read the directions and POOF! It's done! Her projects are easy and anyone can do them. Just give it a try.
This is a tray like Donna's but I added some roses to the scene! You know I can't live without my ROSES! Wouldn't it be lovely to have some tea served on this tray?

Pumpkin time is just around the corner!

There's two sides to every story and there's two sides to this painting!

I painted this pumpkin patch in class on Monday and the large pumpkin with polka dots on the other side at home. Let me know how it looks? Please.

Busy! Busy! Busy! But I had a wonderful time painting!

This was my first time to try watercolor painting! We painted the Koi fish on Saturday and the butterfly on Sunday. It was a challenge to say the least! So what do you think?

The Blue Tit is a samll bird! But is a beautiful bird when painted!

I painted tis little fellow on Saturday with the Georgia Peach Painters.

The Blue Tit is a widespread European Chickadee, one of the most common and best-loved garden birds of England. They are noted for their confident and fearless nature, and willingly use nest boxes and come to feeders. Highly intelligent, the Blue Tits have been used in scientific studies, demonstrating that they can complete a precise and complex sequence of more than 25 tasks to get the reward--a sunflower seed--at the end!

I'm back to painting and loving it!!!

This is the painting I did Monday in Sandy McTier's class at Hobby Lobby with the gorgeous blue vase and Hydrangeas!
What a pose?

If you would like to purchase something that I have painted contact me at mediadir95@bellsouth.com

Thank you. Have a blessed day!

Praise God!!!! The Bathroom remodeling is over!!!

Alice's Bathroom is something else!!! She now has a walk-in shower with a bench!!!!! How great is that!!!

Jerry's Bathroom is about the same except the tile really makes an improvement! Oh, and he got a built in soap dish! And now has glass shower doors instead of a shower curtain.

Don't have pictures yet... But i have major remodeling going on at my house!

Begonia paint project for June 24th.

Yesterday I painted this begonia on canvas as a learning piece. I went to a class at Hobby Lobby and met with Pennie Sunderman for her to teach me about oil painting. I didn't finish it in class but I came home and stayed up til 12 midnight to finish this little cutie! It's on a thick 11 X 14 canvas with a beige background of Linen. Will Sell. $55.00 or best offer.

This is a mural on the wall over my work area in my painting room.

I just had to have the clock to remind me to take a break from work.

Look! Look! Look! See Alice. See what Alice made!

This was my clay project for Tuesday, June 24th. I just love it! It now hangs in my new sewing room. The walls in my new sewing room is a butter-color. So this will go perfect.

Tuesday's Painting!

How gorgeous is this tray for serving your guest?

Georgia Peach Painters and me

How do you like this little bird? I painted it yesterday with the Georgia Peach Painters. He is painted on a piece of masonite. And as usual he turned out really good.

Nola Brantley Library Demo 6-17-09

This is the Nola Brantley Library Meeting Room in Warner Robins, GA. I taught the students the One Stroke method of painting. I also showed some of the projects with Studio clay.

The students were very attentive. They ranged in age from 5 to 14.

My sister, Grace helped me with loading and unloading the artwork. She also took the pictures for me. It's good to have a sister that believes in what you are doing.

This is me teaching the students to paint.

This last picture was taken before class. Everyone seem to enjoy the week of "Be Creative" at the library.

Thank you to all who participated.

This is what I painted on Saturday with the Heart of Georgia chapter of the Society of Decorative Painters!

This is a small 8 X 10 canvas. But boy
, what a dynamic punch for flowers!

And after it is put in a dark frame, it really shows you what it can do!

Look what I been painting!
