Butterfly Dreams

 

You see things as they are and ask why~ I dream things that never were and ask WHY NOT

Silhouette of a Tree

A tree can bring so many feelings to a persons mind. Filling them with peace. "A tree against the sky possesses the same interest, the same character, the same expression the figure of a human." SOLD

PBR art contest

yea it's nothing but a label.. I have a desire to paint and sometimes its very simple. Other times I tend to go over board on the detail.

It's not a DOGS world

Otis is his name O.

Robot Octopus

I really don't have a clue. I wanted to create something random & off the wall. I figure it will make since to someone.
 

Vertical Parallel

Colors are my passion. I don't spell well without a spell check. I don't pay attention unless it is of some interest to me. I don't follow directions. I play by my own rules. I rarely carry on a conversation without having to explain. I am an artist and nothing in between. I have a dream... I wanna be known world wide before I am ninety-three.

Naked isnt always nasty

I haven't posted to many things on here lately. But I have been working my tail off. I have been blessed this year to have the opportunity to create every single day. As fast as I create them they are being sold. I have no idea what my audience likes. I am slowly running out of materials. I am happy doing what I do. This piece is an idea I have for a solo art show in spring. I also have an adult nude art show I am wanting to enter in. I want to put something similar in that show as well. Wish me luck!

Just Threw It Together

Queen of Hearts & King of Clubs

I've decided it's time to paint no time than the present. I am going to get them up for sale on ebay in the morning. This one is going to be a series with a king & maybe a joker. I am really going to work my tail off in an attempt to sale all paintings by Christmas..

Thinking of the Words

I am always exploring new ways to get the message across. A silhouette of a guy & his bass standing on the corner. I named this piece "Thinking of the Words" because the bass has scripts from the Admiral Twin concert benefit held on Oct. 16, 2010 to raise money for the rebuild of the Tulsa drive-in theater. The jacket of the guy is a crosswords puzzle unfinished and the pants are the clues to the words in the puzzle. As we all are looking for the right words to put into something thoughtful as a love letter & the right words to complete a word puzzle or a song we are writing.... Searching for the words, may have been a more appropriate title SOLD

Mirror Mirror on my Bra

It's that time again. I have volunteered to paint another Breast Cancer bust. As I posted pictures earlier when I was working on the wings. All busts will go on display threw out the Tulsa area like Woodland Hills Mall once again and Utica Square. The busts will continue to rotate until the auction in October. Each winning bid will help raise money and awareness for Breast Cancer survivors threw out the Oklahoma area. For more information contact Judi

Nobody Can Fill Your Shoes

My grandfather's birthday is August 20. I always admired my grandpa he was the only man in my life when I was growing up. Remembering back, every morning he would shine his boots. He has always been a sharp dressed man. All the ladies heads would turn to look at him as he passed by, he knew. He was always a ladies man.

These look nothing like the classy boots my grandpa wore. They are worn and have walked many of miles. Now just sitting there they tell a story. He can't wear his boots anymore they hurt his feet.

My grandpa has always loved to doddle with paint and drawing different things. As a young man he drew shoes, he wanted to publish them in a newspaper sales add. He shared these drawings with me a few years back.
I can remember going to his house sitting in his office playing with his pencils and pens and paints. He never ran me out of there. NO matter how much rubber cement I split or things I ruined. He allowed me to express my imagination.

I feel guilty from time to time being a grown woman now not spending as much time as I ought to with him. But there is not a day that goes by that I don't thank him for my blessing and all of his encouragement. On my very first art show he called me, nobody else called or showed up. It meant the world to me.

I have not had any schooling in art except for commercial design and one college class that bored me to pieces. Every single time I pick up a paint brush I hear his gravely high pitched tone that says, "Meg, you don't use what the good lord gave you, you will lose your talent."
But grandpa if I didn't know how proud I make you every time I picked up this paintbrush I don't think I would continue creating and communicating with the world what wonderful things I see. You have helped make me who I am. I can't say enough how much I do it all because of you! I love you so much. HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Life is

Life isn't always as simple as apples & oranges.... Because sometimes there are a million ones to choose from. Looking around we are all a little bruised. Some a little brighter than others or sweeter than the rotten ones.

"YOUR CLOSER THAN YOU THINK"

The greatest difficulty is right before the birth of your aspirations/dreams. You are closer than you think. Now is not the time to talk yourself out of it. Now is not the time to get discouraged. It may be around the corner. Be a prisoner of hope. Not a prisoner of any negative. I just can't help it. I know it's going to work out.

Sunset Bust

I've attached the wings, they are hooked with wire so the may move easily. Still debating on the torso would like to do a sunset of sorts

Wings to Fly

It's that time again I am working with Tulsa's Breast Impressions again. This years work will be displayed at Utica Square & Woodland Hills mall continuing to rotate until the Gala on September 1, 2010

The cast is not of the survivor but of a Tulsa Talon's cheerleader, who took the time to donate her bare breast as a model.

I am working from a piece of paper the describes the spirit and drive of the woman who survived the genetic disease of cancer. The survivor was asked to name her favorite colors & three words that best describe she said, "bubbly positive-minded and determined".....That drew me in: she reminded me of myself

As I was talking to Judi Grove she mentioned that she had three 20 year old women diagnosed with cancer this year one of witch had to have a total mastectomy. I am blown away by this Cancer & sometimes feel handy caped at my lack of knowledge of this epidemic.

I had a vision as soon as I saw this one cast. I didn't want to change my mind. I will continue to post more pictures

Thought Of You

Caged & All The Strings Attached

Cherry Blossoms

Over the Christmas break I worked on a mural. With much excitement and pleasure. I am please to present. My first mural in Oklahoma.


I enjoyed ever individual flower each one unique. With my paintbrush loaded with three different colors, I began one of my most favorite bedroom paintings so far. Listening to little girls laughing and playing in the next room.

I would like the opportunity to paint murals in the future. Any ideas? Your imagination is my playground. I have reference upon request.
Spring is near and home remodeling is upon us. I would be pleased to offer a quote. I can be contacted at:

Baby Nursery Paintings

Dana & Casey Monholland are having their first baby. I didn't have the money to give a gift, but who needs money when you have a talent like this. I created the painting to match the decorations of the baby bed covers.

is IT all re-Is it all recyclable?

My Art fundamentals 1 class is history. This was my conclusion to the end of class.

From The Bottom Up

This is the finished product. And the beginnings of a new passion. I am flattered with the opportunity to continue forward with the entire airplane... I will later post photos of these in use and actually on the plane. All hand painted and design created by myself. The brown is the only part that I airbrushed.

Wolf Pitts airplane wheel-pants

These are wheel-pants for a Wolf Pitts airplane. I began working on this weekend. The set that are not attached or finished are my design of feet, bat feet. Yeah I know who knew bat even really had feet... Picture references below.

Black n White

I was thumbing threw a magazine, I really liked this picture it was a traditional black and white photograph. I wanted to make it look like an negative exposure. I found it was much harder than I thought it would be. I had to retrain my eye to see the positive area as the negative area.
I am not that pleased with this.
It looks to me too cartoon-ish.
I had a lot on my mind.As most reasons I pick up a pencil. The intimacy of the drawing and the tied hands, her back turned. It was exactly how I was feeling at the time. So in which case it is exactly how it was meant to turn out...

BIt Off mOrE thAn I cAn chEw

Sometimes on a rainy day it's hard to find something beautiful. I took a wonderful picture and tried to recreate it in black & white.

I Got The Re-Action I was Looking For

As some may know I am taking an art foundations class this is my first college course ever in art. This class is designed for students who are just interested in art to explore designs it's concepts. To experiment in objective and subjective development.

This is my second art project for this class. Allow me to explain the content 18x24 2-d B/W piece based upon these subject areas sociopolitical, power & propaganda, spiritual purpose, inner experience and beauty.
Wanting to hit on every single subject, as I am laying there thinking random thoughts as we do before we drift to sleep. WOW makes me reconsider the dream that came from this thought. But this does show how diverse I am in subjects...
