This is karin's beloved dog Jack, the first of the different strokes challenge.

Karin Jurick has started a new blog, Different strokes for different folks, she posts a new photo each week and then posts all the different versions sent to her by her fellow artists...it's so much fun! I don't know how she has the time to do all she does and still find time to paint her masterpieces, she is an awsome painter. These are my contributions.

Time for a Wok

I love painting simple everyday things, I think there is so much beauty in the shapes and colors of veggies for example.

Sneak Preview

Sunflowers are the the painting subject, I never get tired of painting them or looking at them.

Gilroy's Sentinals

This painting won the city purchase award, which means the city of Gilroy, Ca. purchased it for their collection at the annual art show. My dad saw it on my easal, and suggested I enter it, glad I took his suggestion!

Kylie on the rocks

This is my girl Kylie, on the rocks in Yosemite. She shows up in a lot of my work, especially my sketch books.

love fall

This is an acrylic painting, I wanted to add it this new blog, since it's fall, and fall happens to be my favorite season.
