Soul To Soul Door - Honorable Mention

Paint The Glen results

The paintout was a great success! The weather was sunny & warm. If those folks in Hawaii knew how nice spring Texas weather can be, they would be packing up their ukes & movin' to Texas! Shhh,let's not tell them.

Back to the Paintout - Sixteen artists participated in this event, 26 paintings turned in for judging. Awards were First Place - DeBob Jacob Maypearl TX, Second Place - Chase Almond Kennedale TX, Third Place - Steve Miller Grand Prairie TX. Honorable Mentions to Linda Miller Paluxy TX, Vickie Guthrie - Glen Rose TX & Mary Rabien - Waxahachie TX.

Plans are already in the works for the Paint The Glen 2012. Tweaking the details to make it bigger & better. Thanks to all of the participants & volunteers that made it happen.

Vegetable Medley 11 x 14 oil



This was my demo for a recent Thursday afternoon oil class. One of my students, Cheryl, offered the use of the enamel kettle - she paid $1 for it at a yard sale. The bowl is from my home - I use it quite often.
