I'm so happy!!! Thank you to all who sends me congradulations. It really inspires me to keep going.

I feel that God has been with me on this trip all the way to learning how to paint. Sometimes I can feel His very presences as I am painting a picture which is really awesome if you have never experienced it.

My prayer is that you will come into a personal relationship with Him today. He stands at the door knocking. Please let Him enter your heart as your savior now to guide you in your daily life.

No one knows if they have the next breath. My baby sister went very fast last week to be with Him. Be sure to tell your loved ones that you love them before they pass from this life to the next. Time waits on no one. God bless you all.

Learning new techniques never stops! I LOVE IT!

2011-09-01T20:41:00.000-05:00

The original painting is done by Dorothy Dent called "Evening Shower". I know I don't make it look as good as hers BUT...I have my own creative liscense here! And best of all I have learned a new technique!
I took this class from Pennie Sunderman at the "Cow and Calf" or Byron Welcome Center in Peach Outlet Mall of Byron, GA. She is certified by Dorothy Dent and several other artists. I am working on another painting called "Twilight on Brooks Branch" with the same technique.
The Byron Welcome Center is also where my artwork is located.

Watercolour Class with Sarah Carey from Royston, GA!!!

2011-09-01T20:17:00.000-05:00

If you are interested in taking watercolour classes, I highly reccomend Sarah Carey from Royston, GA. She loves what she is doing and shows you the attention you need to get a beautiful painting done! She had to have a LOT of patience to teach me! Now I LOVE watercolours!

Christmas is just around the corner! So I have been painting ornaments for the fair!

Titmouse with Holly and Berries Cigar Box

2010-12-29T18:51:00.000-05:00

This reminds me of an old mans cigar box. The base is stained with maple with a burgundy trim. Then the bird and holly with berries was added for a vintage touch. All it needs now is the varnish to preserve it.

More painting Projects!

2010-10-20T14:16:00.000-05:00

This is a clothespin that I painted to hold my Christmas cards. One side of the clothespin is for birthdays too. It's 12 inches long or tall. Because you can lay it down or stand it up. How neat is that?

Today is the happiest day of my life!!!

This is the picture I entered at the Georgia National Fair in Perry, GA. It will be displayed throughout the entire fair at the Miller-Murphy building with all the other paintings. Some of the painters from my painting classes have also entered their artwork. It will be nice to see all the other paintings along with mine.
This painting is a one that was taught by Clemmie Allen, president of Georgia Peach Painters. It is an orignal painting by Sherry C. Nelson.
Hope all of you come out and enjoy the fair!

Vermont here we come!!!

2010-09-19T20:42:00.000-05:00

2010-08-24T23:54:00.000-05:00

Saturday afternoon goofing off!

2010-07-24T21:53:00.001-05:00

I was just goofing off and painted this Saturday afternoon. My inspiration for this painting came from my dear teacher, Sandy McTier. But I could never perfect it like her.

Thank you, Jesus for all you have given me!!! Thank you that our prayers for this room worked out GREAT!!! AMEN!!!

2010-07-15T20:10:00.000-05:00

You can tell I still have some straightening to do. But for the most part it is finished!!!

2010-07-07T18:19:00.001-05:00

This is a clock I bought making it look like a sunflower for my art studio. The petals are all hand made of clay by me. My teacher, Sandy McTier had inspired me to make this from one she had made.Another peep at the valance in my art studio. I got only part of the room done with the valances. I went rushing back to the store where I bought them about 4 or 5 weeks ago to get 5 more(because they didn't look full enough) but they didn't have anymore. One of the girls was kind enough to take my number and is suppose to get someone to check at the warehouse for more. I'm praying til I hear from her!!!!

Boy, Am I tired! Been working on my studio today!

2010-07-07T18:08:00.000-05:00

This is the valance that I chose to go to the top of the window.

At last!!! Blinds for the windows!

Can you imagine little ole me teaching a class?

2010-05-03T13:13:00.000-05:00

Hello, Everybody! How are you doing?

2010-05-03T13:02:00.000-05:00

It's been a while since I have blogged!!! WHEW!!!! But I hope I can get back to it now. I have had construction on my home going on and some sickness. And just plain busy painting! Here is some of the things I have been doing.

My new room!

2010-04-23T22:25:00.000-05:00

This is the little porch which has to have rrails built on it yet.

This room is 23" X 24". Just large enough for my art room.With double french doors going into the kitchen if we want refreshments served.

Plus a closet or maybe a bathroom? All with laminate flooring for easy cleaning.

Old Barn! My Monday Night Class has been busy painting this old barn!

2010-01-30T19:49:00.000-05:00

We have had a great time on Monday night with this art class taught by Diane Belcher. There is eight of us in class which has brought us close in our painting efforts and our relationships. Plus the teacher is awesome!

This is my painting of Daylilies!

2010-01-30T19:40:00.000-05:00

I had a wonderful art class at Cindy Walker's house today! We painted Daylilies! They're awesome! Everybody's turned out different. But that's the way daylilies are!

I have started this kitty platter...But one day I will finish it!

2010-01-19T20:46:00.000-05:00

My New Bag!

2010-01-19T20:25:00.000-05:00

I tried the bag out for carrying my art tools of the trade...But! Not quite what I wanted. So I plan to use it in my art room at home. But it looks good!

Maybe I'm getting better? Huh? Do you think?

2009-12-31T23:07:00.000-05:00

This is the book I used to paint the round ornamemnt. Looks pretty much like the book! Doesn't it?

Yeah, like I am proud of this one now! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! 2010 is is going to be GREAT!

2009-12-31T22:52:00.001-05:00

It's countdown time for the New Year! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

2009-12-31T22:39:00.004-05:00

Here's a little Chick-A-Dee bird that I have been working on.

Hope your New Year is blessed with a new and refreshing intimacy with Jesus Christ the Savior of the world! Also that your health stays in good shape for the New Year!

Georgia National Fair !!!

2009-10-20T06:49:00.000-05:00

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!!!

Blackberry Delight is the name of this picture!

2009-09-19T18:34:00.000-05:00

Heart of Georgia Painters

2009-09-16T09:28:00.003-05:00

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!

2009-09-16T09:15:00.002-05:00

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!

2009-09-02T06:17:00.003-05:00

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!

2009-08-28T17:51:00.002-05:00

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!

2009-08-23T18:55:00.002-05:00

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!

2009-08-19T07:12:00.004-05:00

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!!!

2009-08-14T05:03:00.006-05:00

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!!!

2009-08-13T09:01:00.003-05:00

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!

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.

2009-06-25T13:16:00.002-05:00

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!

2009-06-25T12:48:00.002-05:00

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.

Nola Brantley Library Demo 6-17-09

2009-06-17T18:18:00.002-05:00

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!

2009-06-14T15:38:00.004-05:00

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!

2009-06-14T15:25:00.003-05:00

Look what I have created now!

Thought I would play catch up since it's been raining and can't go outside.

It's raining, it's pouring the old man is snoring!"

My computer crashed! I got a virus or something and my computer went claplouie! But now I am back and running!

Georgia Snow on March 1, 2009! Can you believe it!

2009-03-06T11:24:00.003-05:00

Just look at the snow! God shows us sometimes that He is still in charge of things! Amen. I think He wanted us to enjoy at least one snowy day before winter was over. So He brought the snow down on March 1st. But isn't it beautiful to look at?

This little doggie stayed home and stayed all cuddled and warm.

I don't mind looking at the snow for one day but to live up north where it snows you in your house for days would drive me crazy!

God bless you all. Have a blessed day!

Just look at the pens sets that I have made!

2009-03-06T11:03:00.002-05:00

I have red and black for the Georgia Bulldawg fans or pink, green and purple psychedelic!

Do you ever dream of better times?

2009-03-06T10:56:00.002-05:00
