Lemon Head My New Love!

I think I fell in love this evening! Shhhh Don't tell my husband! Lemon Head it has a flavor of Magritte, here's a unique thing I found out AFTER I posted the painting tonight, that the creator of lemon heads candy passed away this week at 93. I had no clue! which makes me think I channeled it or something. Still on my lemon surrealism. stay tuned for the next one!

Surrealism And Lemon Drops

Hello all artist's and art lovers! Happy Valentine's Day! I went from my humorous mood in my work to my surrealistic mood this week and have a series of Lemon paintings I have been working on. This one is called "Lemon Drops" Surrealism is such an interesting genre and stretches the imagination. I was told once by one of my followers that there aren't many females that paint surrealism. I find that interesting and wonder why. Any input by anyone with that?

Love And Alien Tourists

I finished my painting "Welcome To Roswell" yesterday. I love how it feels like alien lovers arriving to the city of Roswell to take a tour. The Pink alien is named Zoe and The Green one is named Roger. I would have to say it's one of my favorite alien piece's I have done so far. I want to have them continue touring Roswell in future paintings. This one will also go into my future New Mexico book of twists and tales

Welcome To Roswell !

I am working on my first painting "Welcome To Roswell" in a series for a future book I want to do that will be called "New Mexico Twist's And Tales", which will be funny twists on myths,facts and folk lore from different cities around my state. New Mexico is great subject matter for this, since I live here, love it here and am an artist this seems to be a great idea. Hopefully I will done soon with the first painting.

Oil Painting -Don't Listen To Schooling!!!

I don't understand why many schools insist students need to use mediums and turpentine to paint with oil paints! It's not true. It's toxic and a headache. when you want to wash your brushes all you need is DAWN dish soap or Murphey's oil soap. I do have a glass jar 1/5 filled with terpenoid natural in the green can and is citrus based to soak my brushes after painting till I get to the sink to wash which is like a month but that's it! If anyone has anymore questions about this feel free to ask. I also find Oil paint is cheaper to paint with than acrylics.

The Taming Of The Giant Bunnies

This is the first in my sideshow series. I bet as children almost all of us had dreams of giant animals. What dreams have any of you had that you wish were true when you woke up?
