The other day a short story of mine titled, "My Grandmother's Button Jars" was published and it is a childhood memory of playing with those buttons.

Today I was in the mood to paint and decided I would work on a daily painting which is usually a miniature.

However, I did this 12" x 16" Mixed Media painting on Fredrix art canvas using Dr. Martins Hydrus watercolors and Dr. Martins white acrylic paint. I worked about 5 hours on it and I am quite pleased with it and I am sure it will look better when I frame it. Click here to purchase or to make an offer.

My daughter, Donna, sent me a picture of the boys in 2005 and it is one of my favorites. Ryan is impish as usual, Scott is somber and Andrew is happy as always to have his cousins come and visit. This picture has been on my refrigerator for 4 years and over those years the cousins have grown, with 2 of them into their teens this year. Also their minds have grown as their activities have. Snow boarding, water & snow skiing, computers, golf, all kinds of sports, music lessons, book reading and more. The bat is a memento from when we took Andrew to the Louisville Slugger Factory and they made him a bat with his name on it. This year I thought I would try my hand at Folk painting and this 16" x 20" acrylic is the result. It took me about 8 days with about 4 hours a day average. Faces are not my forte yet, but I really enjoyed painting this memento of 3 fine grandsons. The title of the painting is "The Cousins and The Games They Play"

I have neglected this site... Been busy painting....Portrait of a Stained Glass Artist
The artist, Arlene Wright-Correll says, "I think it was in March 1999 I started a portrait of Carl on a 16" x 20" canvas frame. I drew it out and did the background in oils. We were in FL. for the winter visiting Donna and her family and Andrew, who was about 5 or 6 then, upon arriving home said, "Oh you are doing a painting of Opa." That was as far as I ever got with it. Then in February of 2008 I started thinking about it again since I kept coming across it in my art studio and thought about doing a caracature of him with stained glass eye glasses. Well on Feb. 4, 2009, I got out the painting and decided to finish it in acrylics and 4 hours later I finished it to my satisfaction and Carl is delighted. It is called, "Portrait of a Stained Glass Artist". Is this what is called an epic? 10 years in the making!
