It's Just Me

This month's challenge for Girls Just Wanna Paint was self portrait....dang...a tough subject in my view, and this was my third attempt.

Get on The Bus

To get to Senator Edward Kennedy's wake at the Kennedy Memorial Library in August 2009, bus transportation was provided from the JFK/UMASS subway station. When I boarded the bus, I saw this gentleman with a green tie covered with shamrocks and asked if I could take his picture. He politely responded, "sure." I didn't expect the photo to come out with the rest of the wonderful group of people. I hope they don't mind that I painted them.

This Saturday is First Saturday!

A Couple of Classics

My brother and his buddy are great hockey fans. They went to the Winter Classic which was held outdoors at Fenway Park in Boston on New Year's Day last year, and this image struck me, so I painted it. I think it sums it all up.

Fluffy Girl

I was a bit stumped when I learned our painting challenge for my Girls Just Wanna Paint group for April was "fluffy." What the heck? Then I remembered my fluffy scarves that I really love but don't wear so much anymore...and voila...instant subject.

The Hob Nob, Route 301

The Hob Nob is an outdoor drive-in diner on Route 301 in Sarasota, Florida. I had to go there the first time I saw it which was some time around 1986...I'm glad I took photos of it because they remodeled it to what it looks like in this painting...at least it's not that much different. I may get around to painting the "old" Hob Nob one of these days...

"Plastic Glasses" 6"x6"

The challenge was "Glass" for Girls Just Wanna Paint for January. Ok, so I painted plastic...I began this at a food court in Boston during last week's blizzard (long story) and wrapped it up at home with some changes...not many glass bottles available at the food court so I figured I would throw my glasses into the composition...then I realized they were plastic also...I did another painting of some glass sunglasses, however, it's not quite finished yet and I kind of liked this one...so, it will need to be with good intentions that I offer this subject...
