Coca Cola Sun
15 x 12.5 inches
acrylic on wood
embellished with Coca Cola cans
SOLD
I really do love Coca Cola, though I don't drink it that often. My daughter, Dixie, surprised me yesterday by telling me that she was giving up soda for Lent. She's an interesting 16 year old.... :)

Not Cranky, Just Crabby
approx 12 x 8 inches
acrylic on wood
safety coated with clear gloss
to enable hanging outside or in bathrooms
sides painted, no need for a frame
SOLD
This little creature is certain to give more smiles than crankiness! Once, at a show, a woman said to me as she was buying one of my happy crabs, "I looked all around at the other tents, but this crab kept calling me because I felt such joy! I'm surprised because I've never bought anything like this before!" Joy is indeed one of my missions.

Winged Happy heART
approx 12 x 8 inches
acrylic on wood with gold leaf
safety coated with clear gloss to hang anywhere
sides painted, no need for a frame
SOLD
I painted this yesterday during the Gospel Brunch at the House of Blues. What great music ~ it certainly kept the fires burning within! They sang old gospel favorites like "Soon and Very Soon" and "Down By The Riverside" and "His Eye Is On The Sparrow." I call it hand-clapping gospel ~ the kind of music that makes you glad you're alive, but even more glad that this world isn't my true home!

Big Ol' Piggy
14 x 11 inches
acrylic on canvas
sides painted, no need for a frame
This one is hanging at Southern Portraits and Accents. You haven't lived until you've seen a thousand pound sow snorting as she nurses a bunch of squealing piglets at the Iowa State Fair. It really is amazing, and convinced me that motherhood is not revered enough! This painting was inspired by an enormous sculpture in the children's garden area of Brookgreen Gardens. Oh, and one more pig story - When I first moved to SC, my roomate came into my bedroom and said, "I'm going to the Hoggly Woggly." I nearly fell off my chair laughing at the new name for the Piggly Wiggly. Too funny!
Good news! My work has been accepted at another gallery - E. Pickney Framing & Gallery at 38th Avenue and Bypass 17 in Myrtle Beach.

Love Lives Here
13 x 8 inches
acrylic on wood
SOLD
Here's a whimsical little cottage. My friend Linda and her husband used to have a magnet hanging on their fridge that said, "This house is filled with love." It's funny the little things you remember, isn't it? I'm gearing up for Art in the Park, Chapin Park, Myrtle Beach this Saturday and Sunday from 10 am - 4 pm. Come see me if you like.

Sun, Moon, Star Triptych
each piece is 4.5 x 4.5 inches
total height is 14.5 inches
acrylic on wood
clear gloss coating for protection
edges painted, no need for a frame
SOLD
This piece was inspired by a picture frame I bought at a yard sale. The woman that sold it to me must have had 20 things for sale with the sun, moon, stars theme. For some reason, it reminds me of the trinity. My brother-in-law used to call the trinity "Big Daddy, Little Brother, and the Spook." Nowadays, I try not to leave the feminine side out, since I was created in God's image, too. Hence, the moon's a woman.

SOLD to another artist
My daughter's best friend, Nicolette, loves hearts. So I made her a heart painting for her high school graduation. It was such a hit at the party that I decided to do another. May your heart be light today.

True Colors Series - Danielle Delight
approx 20 x 26 inches
acrylic on wood
SOLD
I've always loved that song:
I see your true colors shining through,
I see your true colors, and that's why I love you;
So don't be afraid to let them show
They're beautiful, like a rainbow.
Eva Cassidy does a wonderful version of that song, by the way. We often have to look beyond what we see to understand someone's true beauty. So I've done several pieces of people done in unusual colors. I tend to give everything I paint a name, and this one is named Danielle, after my dad (Daniel). She is done with metallic paints, which don't photograph as beautifully as they appear in real life.

Have you noticed that I tend to paint a lot of women? One of the reasons for this is that I believe women are the most underutilized resource in the world. So, I'm doing my part to bring the feminine principle forward by painting women that are not only beautiful, but strong.
