Latest Painting-"Sand Ribbons for Rosie"
I just completed a trade/commission painting of Rosie the Rosy Boa who has been the companion of Joanna Mersereau for 30 years now. Below are the photos that I used for reference, the sketch I showed to Joanna and the finished painting. I must tell you that I am not a big fan of snakes, probably some childhood trauma, however, Rosie was a lovely and gentle snake. Michael took the photos of Rosie while I stood by quaking in my shoes. The other photo is from a section of our front garden.
The painting is 9"x12", acrylic on clayboard. The trade part of this commission is the best part! I am now the proud owner of one of my favorite Mersereau paintings. Click on the images to enlarge.

Waiting Game.
I have entered my work in a number of competitions that have notification dates in February. Please keep your fingers crossed that my work is juried into these shows. If you cross a couple toes and perhaps your eyes maybe I might pick up an award! Stranger things have been known to happen.
