Original Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

If you have visited New Orleans, I am sure that this painting will strike a cord with you. The Lucky Dog carts on the corner are great. I have a friend who has been in NOLA, so I thought I would post this painting. Thanks for looking. Have a great Father's Day!

Good-bye Red Rooster

Red Rooster - SOLD
I said good-bye to this Red Rooster today....he is all framed up (thanks to Dutch Art Gallery) and has a new home. I appreciated the customer who walked into the gallery and purchased this contemporary oil painting! I am sure that the Red Rooster will love his new home. I will be off of the computer, blog and easel for a week as John and I are heading to New Orleans. We will wander the streets of New Orleans and listen to all the bands at the French Quarter Festival, and of course eat all the wonderful foods of The Big Easy. I hope to come back to Dallas inspired and ready to paint some new paintings! Thanks for viewing my blog. Kay

Lucky Dog Stand

Lucky Dog Stand

9" x 12" Oil on canvas

This palette knife painting has layers of color applied to the canvas. I painted this New Orleans Lucky Dog stand earlier this year with a brush. I wanted to see how the two look next to each other. Actually, I think I like the palette knife painting better. It doesn't have all the detail that the first painting has. I finished up five small paintings yesterday, and have several on the easel waiting for finishing touches. Thanks for viewing this blog!

Parade Route

This painting was sold on Saturday at the Dutch Art Gallery. It is a 12" x 12" gessoed masonite oil painting. I was inspired by the beads hanging on fences, telephone wires, trees...all over New Orleans. I just could not believe that these beads were left behind....just a sign of what a fun, colorful party town New Orleans is. I hope the new owner of this painting enjoys it! Thanks for viewing my blog.

Lucky Dog

Lucky Dog---Finished or Unfinished?

12" x 12" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

I painted it, signed, brought it home from the studio, and someone in this house did not think it was finished. John asked where the vendor was. Ugh. I took a photo in New Orleans last spring with a chubby little vendor at his hot dog stand. I don't know why I left him out, but now that I am thinking about it, I think he needs to be standing behind the stand preparing his hot dogs. So for now it is finished, but I will put the fellow in when the mood hits me. As for my painting today, I had a great day at the studio. I have been painting a horsey/rodeo painting for the past two days, and I am thinking it is almost completed. Of course, I could sign it, bring it home and discover that it really isn't finished and that it is missing something.

On the easel...

On the easel...another painting that was started, and then left to sit a while.

Here is another painting that is sitting on my easel....unfinished. I need to really focus and add some shadows and detail on this one. I had taken a photo of the Lucky Dog hot dog stand in New Orleans....they were all over the city. This is on a 12" x 12" gallery wrap canvas....so it shouldn't take me too long to finish up. Maybe I will get to the studio this afternoon and tackle it!! Thanks for viewing my blog. Have an artful day!

p.s. Several of my friends have asked about the Cedars Open Studio Tour 2009. Mark your calendar----it will be Saturday, November 21, 2009 from 10:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. More information can be found at: www.cedarsopenstudios.com.

Parade Route

I can't decide if this painting is finished. I have certainly worked on it long enough. John and I went to New Orleans a couple of months ago...and I took many photographs. I was amazed at all the Mardi Gras beads hanging on the fences, on the wires, and in the trees of New Orleans. We were walking along Magazine Street, and a small house with iron fence with all these beads were there. The tiny house with porch, folage, iron gate and colorful beads was very interesting. I might need to add one or two more strands of beads.

This painting is on a 12" x 12" gessoed masonite board. I think I will add another strand of beads and sign it today. If you are interested in this painting, or any of my other works of art, please contact me.

John and I are back from New Orleans...what a great city. I enjoyed the weekend of fun, food, music...we were there during the French Quarter Festival. Lots of art, food, music. I met several artists who really have alot going on, and hope to email them soon. I have missed painting, but did get alot of inspiration after walking the streets of New Orleans for three days. Here is one pic that I took early one morning on Bourbon Street. We walked through an old cemetery, rode the street cars, walked the French Quarter, rode the ferry to Algiers, walked along the muddy Mississippi, ate shrimp, crawfish, crabcakes, grilled oysters...with bands all over the city. And of course, were on Bourbon Street alot. It was great.

Also posted is a painting that is on my easel waiting for some attention. Russell Newman took this photo when he was at Santa Monica Beach in March of this year...and graciously let me have the photo to paint. I hope to finish it up this week. Actually I have about a dozen unfinished paintings at the studio, and need to work on them before I start painting some New Orleans street scenes.
