Wonderfully relaxing this year, better than in many year's past. Hope everyone had as relaxing a holiday as I did! Anyway, just some of my work during the holidays to help relax...
Learning the art of the Chinese Knot, this one is called the spider knot (has 8 sections to it), really like the silk cord, so soft, I'm sure it's nice around the neck...
by the way, if you know what this stone is please let me know, its got gorgeous golden yellow and bright apple greens.
Not sure what this is, not my best work but sure is an interesting stone, looks like pet wood to me but I really don't know...
My Niece's husband, first I faked up the photo and then thought I'd go ahead and paint it. In the original, he's leaning against a wall at work holding a coke, I replaced that with a yellow rose (yes, they are in Texas)... hope you like it...
Really horrible old photo. My wife as a small child at 6, her brother was 4. It's a copy of a copy, their house had burned down and they lost all their family photos so I'm trying to save some that were just copies. I'm trying to colorize it, which takes TONS of time, getting the colors just right, then overlaying them onto the photo so they look realistic, so it's a work in progress...
One of my daughter's friends and her boyfriend at Myrtle Beach. He looks so much like my 29 year old son that it's scary... this is Oil on Canvas Board...
And last but not least another friend of my daughter's, she was giving her mom the "evil eye"... thought it was a cute pic to paint from, she's drop dead gorgeous...
That and about a dozen other works, but thought I'd share the highlights. Hope you all had a very happy holiday!!!
