I did this painting in a class with Dorothy Dent. She held classes for 3 days but I was only able to do this one. It was wonderful learning from her. It's hard to make the colors all come out right but I think it turned out great!

This was just - shall i say FUN! Everybody just needs to do something fun once in a while. I did this with pen and ink and then layed in the color with oil paints.

I did this painting at a class at the 2008 HOOT in Columbus, OH. It is an oil painting. The instructor was wonderful. I purchased some of her books and hope to do some more animals in the near future.

I started this painting several months ago, and just decided to work on it one day when I was snowed in. I still need to do a little work to it, but over all I like the look. It's oils on a Dream Canvas - 16x20.

I did this for a friend of our family. He was always here when he was a kid. Seemed like one of our own. Now he's grown with his own family. I love painting in oils - but had no idea how much fun acrylics could be. The old window frame tops it off.

I did this for my step daughter for her bathroom. It's 15x30 on a canvas board. Done completely in acrylics, which is unusual for me! Enjoyed it very much.
