There is a beautiful song by Mari Voll Tesdal called Virgin Mary. She talked about the
"Pretty Little Baby" and that's how I came to name this 12" square painting. I gave the DevinePaintings
treatment to one of my favorite vintage prints by Charles Chambers. Painting has the
Baby with halo and impressionist style roses and lots of rich and colorful color. There is
alot of symbolism with this painting, the Doves are in the bottom, roses representing the
Virgin Mary. "Lights" are the stars that appear in the dark areas.

Square Low Country Marsh Oil Painting


Marsh Painting, Square on Gallery Wrapped Canvas. 
Love those Wetlands!

Original Girl Oil Portrait


When I taught high school art, my students would draw each other using the classic
3/4 pose, and I would always do several demos to get them started; they would love to take
the sketches home and I still love this post the most. This girl resembled one of my students, so
I named the painted "Corey's Night" after her! There is an old and very gorgeous painting attributed
to Jean Etiene Liotard, of a young girl with a white wrap, it was from this painted that
I was inspired to paint Corey's Night. 

I just LOVE the look of old paint-by-number, the vintage ones are so pretty but
also getting pretty hard to find. I painted this with paint-by-numbers - vintage ones -
in mind! Orange and pink are always FUN.


Original Pretty Oyster Shell Oil Painting


This painting is an oyster shell, kept a very simple
palette with this one-browns, khakis, ivory, a little navy
and blue!

Large Oyster Painting


Large SQUARE 30" Oyster shell painting, abstract but
not too much, IMPASTO oil paint. Sides are 2" deep, no 
need for a frame. VERY GOOD COTTON CANVAS!

Pretty Girl Painting

I don't even know WHERE this pretty girl came from, I didn't even look at any 
subject matter for her, so I can't even tell you who she it, although she does look
familiar to me for some reason : ) Her name is Jess, and the painting
is called Jess's Dream Started with a Pablo-looking dress-like the ones from his OLD pastels, and
went from there.

Pretty Frida Painting


This is one of MANY Pretty Frida paintings, 
not too much detail, very whimsical and colorful.

Large Marlin Oil Painting


This is one of my favorite things to paint, these MARLINS are better in
person because the camera does not show the brush work and color
that make them so cool to hang, but you get the idea!

Still life Roses in Silver


Guardian Angel Folk Art

Guardian Angel Folk Art

Do you remember the old print of the two children walking across the bridge with their Guardian Angel behind them? I have always love that painting and the symbolism behind it. I have hand painted the words to Psalm 91 that say, " For God commands his Holy Angels to Guard you in All you Ways.

Still Life with Orange and Pink

Retro-Look Still LIfe
I love the look of old paint-by-number paintings, but it's not too easy to
find pretty still life ones. So I painted one that looks kind of 50's retro and
made sure to get orange, pink and navy in this one.
