A visit to Wilmington

I went to Wilmington on the 8th. On the way up Mom called and said  Raymond had a heart attack. He was in the hospital the whole time I was there and we visited frequently. Right after they determined he had a heart attack they got him taken care of and put a stent in. He spent the rest of the time recovering and being observed. Mom picked him up from the hospital when I was leaving. I am glad I was able to see him while up there, even if it was in the hospital.

Since we couldn't stay in the hospital the whole time and I had brought some paintings to show mom, I will show what was left. I brought her some canvas boards about 16 - 9"x12", 6 - 8"x10" and some smaller ones of the 6x6 and 3x4 variety. I also left some MDF for her to paint on.



Mom wanted the two paintings above

Paige is getting the next one


Raymond is using the box for his new set of prescriptions. It will hold the bottles


And since Jim and Betsy have always been supportive of the arts where mom is able to do and show her art, I gave them a couple of business card holders and a box. Jim has always been nice to me and I appreciate what he does.



Sorry that the pic is on top of my truck tool box.

Not so good paintings

I say that because my perspective is not great because I have little experience in making it correctly. The bottom one was an attempt at doing a painting with a reference. It is beyond my skill level. I will get better, at least I hope I do. Anyway, the bottom painting became the below painting and it is still evolving.

Fun Paintings

Below are some fun paintings as I like to call them. I just take 140# watercolor paper and gesso it. I divide it into sections with 1" blue tape and end up making 4"x5" paintings. I do it for practice and to try things that I see done that I want to try. They're fun. The beer mugs were not originally going to be beer mugs. I had done some sketching of glasses filled with lemonade. I couldn't see it working in my mind, but I could see beer mugs quite clearly.

Flowers and a tree

I like the small painting of the flowers. I was trying something on it and I think it turned out nicely. The tree is ok and I am uncertain whether or not I love it.
