Mama's Yellow Butterfly

My dear friend was downcast on the second anniversary of her Mom's passing. When her Mom was living, often in conversation, her Mom would say to  her: "there goes a yellow butterfly". On this particular anniversary my friend was riding down the road with a co-worker when she saw a massive parade of yellow butterflies. She blinked and thought that maybe she was the only one that could see them. Her co-worker said: "I see them too"! Painted with Daler Rowney Acrylics on canvas.

I'M A PEPPER

Remember the jingle: I'm a pepper, she's a pepper, he's a pepper, we're a pepper,

wouldn't you like to be a pepper too...

Found this old Dr. Pepper bottle in a window in Beaufort, NC. It is painted with Daler Rowney FW acrylic inks. 

Strumming

Asheville, North Carolina has the most exciting art community and energy. There are so many places to go and see. Found an old store front window displaying musical instruments and just had to stand and enjoy looking at their shiny surfaces and interesting shapes. This painting is more abstract than I usually paint. Abstract is much more difficult than it looks. I throughly enjoyed painting this acrylic on canvas and plan to paint some similar pieces. Painted with Daler Rowney acrylics.
