 Joan gave me these Artist Postcards for Christmas. So here's my first two creations. Fun!

 Really please with how these mugs came out. I've been working on the theme, Bicycles and Butterflies, and this is my first product. Each mug features two of my original paintings, "Monarch on a Coneflower" and "A Red Bicycle on a Pink Wall."

"Blue Butterfly" was a Christmas gift to my Mom. Find more butterflies on Fine Art America: butterflies art  

Painted this bluebonnets and butterfly acrylic piece on an 8x10 canvas and donated it to tomorrow's Abiding Love Holiday Market. Hope someone will like it! See more Monarch Butterflies on Fine Art America: monarch butterfly art

I created the following works in Acrylic during my on-line "Paint 1: Short Form" class with Erin Schwinn and The Contemporary Austin.   A Red Landscape Asaro Man - A Study of Planes, Lighting and Shadows A Still Life of Interesting Vases Discus Man A Study of Trees These Nectarine Paintings were practicing minimum brush strokes. Upper left was done with 25 brush strokes, upper right with 20 strokes and so on with 15, 10 and finally only 5 brush strokes.  

And so it begins... I am now retired and want to create beautiful thing whether it be art or music or relationships. So, I am starting with this acrylic of a monarch butterfly. "Monarch on a Coneflower"
