Mayley"


 9x12 Oil pastel on watercolor paper

Now that my arm is healed from surgery I am doing a few small works to get back in the game.  This is my first oil pastel.  I used Sennilier oil pastels on watercolor paper.  I saw this picture on the internet and just had to paint it.  This is for a friend whose daughter is named Mayley.  She was very shy and when I spoke to her, she would hide behind her mother and peak one eye around. So I named it after her.

I painted this mural for my church, Morningview Baptist in Montgomery, in the preschool/nursery hall. This was my first large scale mural and it took almost 40 hours to complete. It wraps around to a third wall to the left of this picture but I could not get it all in the picture.

She is 4th in my cow and coffee series...I love this girl! I had so much fun bringing her to life, Caramel Latte is one of my favorite drinks to drink at starbucks. I was sad to sell her but I know she went to a good home.  I get way too attached to my paintings.

"Blue Eyes"

8x10 oil on panel, $110.00
Another love of mine are OWLS!  That piercing look and cute furry body and not to mention the fact that they can turn their head 360 degrees!  Most of this painting is loose strokes but I wanted the eyes to be a little more sharp but not too sharp, just enough to where you can't take your eyes of them. My goal was to try to do this in 2 hours but that did not happen....took almost 4.  Available at tinaquave.com
