Another Barn Start

New Barn Paintings

I am starting some new barn paintings.  I find landscapes to be relaxing for me to paint.

Mercury

Poor Mercury, the hare is cheating and has a head start........isn't that just the way life goes?

Minerva

Good friend Rose, is Minerva, Goddess of Wisdom, Art and Science.  You can also see her daily at The Art League Gallery where she is busy running the place, a Science in itself.

Poseidon

I just love the wave behind Poseidon......oh and his portrait came out pretty good also.

Not really a Godess, but truly a saint

This is Saint Alice of Assisi.  Although technically not a Godess, she definitely is a Saint.  She raises Llamas, rescues animals in need and helps to build houses with Habitat for Humanity. 

Venus

More Opening Reception

Here I am, all glammed up and posed beneath the title of my solo show and beside my favorite painting in the entire show. 

Oh The Joys of Dial Up

Well I am BACK!!!!!!!! and spending way too much time waiting for the dial up to post on my blog.
Now that my solo show paintings are finished and the show is actually open, I feel I have time to return to blogging again.  I have a few ideas knocking around in my head for some artwork I would like to create.  As always, more ideas than time!!!!  I am seriously going to devote the coming year to getting a decent portfolio together of sci fi illustration and try to finish my childrens book I started not too long ago, also. SOOOOOOO Stay Tuned for some more step by step here at Western View Studio.

Opening Reception - "Everyday Gods & Goddesses"

 

A couple photos of a few of my models viewing their portraits at the opening reception last Thursday night.  You see @Erica Fortwengler viewing Persephone and below are @Jeannie Mitchell and @Rose ODonnel viewing Flora and behind them is Minerva. 

The entire show will move on to Art Square in Leesburg for a showing in May.  Photos of the entire show will be posted at that time.
