LYIN' LOW

This painting of the Lion was a challenge painting with a group of my artist friends. The challenge was based on a song, each artist could do what ever they wanted to relate to "The Lion Sleeps Tonight". I loved working on him. I did him with watercolors, he is matted and framed 20 x 24 1/2.
JUST CALL ME "BLUE"

This bird was fun to paint. I am not sure but I think its a Blue Heron. Or maybe a Louisiana Heron (Tricolored). I painted him with watercolors and he is matted and framed is 19 x 15.


CATTLE FOOD

This barn and shed near our home, drive by it a lot. Steve, my husband ask the owner of the land if he could take a picture of his barns. The man was very gracious in letting Steve take the pictures. I have painted it several times, different views of it.

KING OF THE ROOST

The rooster belongs to my niece Jill and my sister, Julia took a photo for my reference. A beautiful bird, colorful and is the king of the other chickens that Jill has. I enjoyed painting him a little bit colorful, altho' he dose have right much color. In October I was blessed to win a Merit Award with this rooster. This painting is a watercolor and framed, 17 1/2 x 21 3/4.
LEMONADE OR PIE?

Would be a hard decision to make! Love both. But maybe Lemon Pie would win. This painting is a watercolor, matted and framed. The size is 16.5x29.
