Just a start at blogging. I wanted a place where family and friends and clients could see my current work along with many works that I have done over the last 40 years.
I was born in Illinois, married and had 7 children. Yes SEVEN. "Bob and Vada created 7 colorful souls."
Bobby, Brick, Jeanne, Denny, Donny, Kathy and Patty. I started painting when I lived in Illinois. My oldest son paid for my first art lessons as a gift to me. After years of painting in Illinois, my husband and I retired to Brownsville TX. I taught at the Brownsville Art League and constantly learned new mediums and techniques. I enjoyed the sun and a great Brownsville Art League family. Five years ago I moved to "LA" Lower Alabama (about a mile from Pensacola Florida). The art communities are thriving! Lots of groups to paint with: Plein Air of Pensacola,Portrait Painters of Pensacola, Performing Arts Association in Foley and Artists of the Bay. My family grows larger as my artist friends grow. They have become an exciting addition to my family as we share our passion of art.
This is my friend's wife sitting for us in the flower garden. It was a nice summer day and several of us were surrounding her and painting. This was a great day for all of us. Thanks Beth for being out model.
Plein-air plus portraiture...huh? A double challenge!!...that few have the speed or ability for. But, excellent job! She's very nicely lit. Photo's look better in natural light, so why shouldn't paintings too.
