Because it coincided with the Art Museum's 50th Anniversary "Warhol, Johns and Stella: Revisited" Show downstairs I wanted to mark the occasion by showing my grandchildren's portraits. I thought it would be fun for them when they grow up to say their portrait showed at the same time as Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns and Frank Stella in the same museum. I am proud to say my portrait of Marion won a Honorable Mention in the Show. For some great Art go visit the <a href="http://www.artmuseumofsouthtexas.org">www.artmuseumofsouthtexas.org</a></p><p>Remember our Show is upstairs in the Meadows Gallery.

The other Merit Artists are Jim Blaylock and Shelly Wierzba. The new $12.5 million, 22,000-square-foot Arts Facility nears completion. Work began in February 2021, on the 1.2 acre site located a few yards from Aransas Bay in the heart of downtown Rockport. It is the first original facility to be built for the celebrated 53-year old non profit organization. You can find out more by visiting <a href="http://www.rockportartcenter.com">www.rockportartcenter.com</a> There will also be a Members Show going on at the same time so it will be well worth a visit to see some amazing Artworks. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY-fIHVwFJVuvrVzb2_AF6W_rVun-nVex1CbS0NmnV2Tm4wv0fgcqql7ojaACPDUQfTeptu1RCFHK6w62o8hFZszeOHL-mcwKPYaJ9tdgswse2n3H5Ql11XvCk1KZy3kUFoM2GhvU-ycbwuYhOgJQy6SLu0R0ZqtVHE_fwUfskztcvISIDm1K_YHhs-A/s2255/78568534-8C94-4EAD-B386-1190245C2C84_1_201_a.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1691" data-original-width="2255" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY-fIHVwFJVuvrVzb2_AF6W_rVun-nVex1CbS0NmnV2Tm4wv0fgcqql7ojaACPDUQfTeptu1RCFHK6w62o8hFZszeOHL-mcwKPYaJ9tdgswse2n3H5Ql11XvCk1KZy3kUFoM2GhvU-ycbwuYhOgJQy6SLu0R0ZqtVHE_fwUfskztcvISIDm1K_YHhs-A/w400-h300/78568534-8C94-4EAD-B386-1190245C2C84_1_201_a.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div> The lovely Kim Ivey, Janet Coy and Elena Rodriguez<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE-h_Ku9Ltj-qtVbN46OmDiJZtWnKlafzphgE_-4_KOiwYs-sPSZlUaNho_yGWjgmFB44-7cGPIT-MrcRtX7DzOTNaor-6eWYsyMKfNFLwo2eMz_n0QD_roPpXOJAFmGnIm_iQKGZk7A8zqHkkdKIro0exq6sesB5ClopzOCJMDCukqkWV2DgUsKg91g/s1372/FA87BE14-6D7F-46E8-BADA-A042949FD7E0_1_201_a.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1372" data-original-width="1284" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE-h_Ku9Ltj-qtVbN46OmDiJZtWnKlafzphgE_-4_KOiwYs-sPSZlUaNho_yGWjgmFB44-7cGPIT-MrcRtX7DzOTNaor-6eWYsyMKfNFLwo2eMz_n0QD_roPpXOJAFmGnIm_iQKGZk7A8zqHkkdKIro0exq6sesB5ClopzOCJMDCukqkWV2DgUsKg91g/w374-h400/FA87BE14-6D7F-46E8-BADA-A042949FD7E0_1_201_a.jpeg" width="374" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpZ4YcLuZDZ6tEgRB6xXGjTFu1R3c1mEzm4aNCA10d5tPcgMhFKrdsTcRZg5zKjgUElS8zpIUAz6XJ1Uvpv4p0pfwFuqYJwfiZ-W58uIiAx1CiuWnXzi9DSi3EknYpR_KaG5QBvWxhbpxtZNECfod3l7MrS5UDsfUOBMgIe3N8HEH_emE9RxD1-GwsXw/s4032/6B00E6F3-B346-4968-93E6-41E043F070A0_1_201_a.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpZ4YcLuZDZ6tEgRB6xXGjTFu1R3c1mEzm4aNCA10d5tPcgMhFKrdsTcRZg5zKjgUElS8zpIUAz6XJ1Uvpv4p0pfwFuqYJwfiZ-W58uIiAx1CiuWnXzi9DSi3EknYpR_KaG5QBvWxhbpxtZNECfod3l7MrS5UDsfUOBMgIe3N8HEH_emE9RxD1-GwsXw/w300-h400/6B00E6F3-B346-4968-93E6-41E043F070A0_1_201_a.jpeg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQNeosN_WtfjZW1Hh17BynJmP_iAVnBRcrxX8JEci1HRNoKRoNvnLXnERw_B8XelnABvSo5L4_b-6Z15PJ3r7jyYx4z_1VYKGY1yWcC1wXunuela86Bay1CQJhVaRbkf0buS1cHfCoQgSAdyd8M4lFrVBK3LxC3jguJBZSMDz8UJsusIlB2zxd0e2T0Q/s3534/B4C6997E-8DA0-4BF1-83F4-88E13937EFD5_1_201_a.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3534" data-original-width="2650" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQNeosN_WtfjZW1Hh17BynJmP_iAVnBRcrxX8JEci1HRNoKRoNvnLXnERw_B8XelnABvSo5L4_b-6Z15PJ3r7jyYx4z_1VYKGY1yWcC1wXunuela86Bay1CQJhVaRbkf0buS1cHfCoQgSAdyd8M4lFrVBK3LxC3jguJBZSMDz8UJsusIlB2zxd0e2T0Q/w300-h400/B4C6997E-8DA0-4BF1-83F4-88E13937EFD5_1_201_a.jpeg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p><br /></p>Alisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11865174616397488052noreply@blogger.com0Rockport, TX 78382, USA28.0205733 -97.0544341-0.28966053617884668 -132.21068409999998 56.330807136178848 -61.898184099999995tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-171012566936522142.post-81111898512977650672022-09-24T08:36:00.001-07:002022-09-24T08:36:30.577-07:00My Messy Studio today<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Inside my messy studio today but I love it.

I'm looking forward to October when I will deliver 10-11 paintings to the Rockport Center for the Arts new mega million dollar building and will be part of the first Merit Show there, first show period.

I delivered some work there on Wednesday for a Show and they already had it up. They are so organized. The show has already been judged and I was told that all 3 of my pieces won awards. So in past shows they have had a rule where you can only win one award per person which I kind of like, so I wasn't expecting to get three awards. I got a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place awards. 1st in Sculpture as my Frida in the cigar box was considered a sculpture. 2nd and 3rd in painting. It is a beautiful library.

For my Scottish followers and friends, you wouldn't believe how hot is was but I was having so much fun I didn't think about it too much. Plus there was beer to drink. lol and Too Chico, which is a thing here. Of course I painted Frida Kahlo as she is so popular here but she is drinking a Rebel Toad for sure.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmuEpk9fd4gqAqsMO0hyIFNNBfwVSugciWHqiQC8etQidqiKdBt13CrV1YaCRIv7Ytpc9cTi2xjSwStfL5RM3rUo-cH8vIad09Eynau1IW_ry7Pyw5UMOKf6G4anxsshQoEUwlo9iIbzEIFeYOqNS_Yafklza9M7yjEtTjZ1_BCoivFd7rBTCxNqmxJA/s4032/F5A4682C-7C59-47C1-BB26-8E1069B8ABF6.heic" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

They had a show Friday April 22, 2022 and I was able to get a front row seat and take photos. I ended up painting one of the photos which was a bit unusual for me as there was a mask over his face. I just loved the lighting.

I find it easier to post on FaceBook as it will also share it on Instagram. Then I try and update TikTok and Twitter. lol. I'd rather be painting. I really envy the famous Scottish Artist Jack Vettriano. I watched a documentary about him and he has "people" that take care of things for him. He even has a set of photographers that help him set up his subjects and take the photos for him. He has it made. I especially find this process hard because of my Aphantasia, I have ideas but not pictures in my head, so I can't really tell if something will work until I get it all organized, model, place, lighting, color of clothes etc. It's a lot to figure out. So this painting is revisiting a model I had already photographed and painted in the "Girl with the Gold Earrings. What a lovely lovely model Jasmin was.

The model is from Corpus Christi as I like all my models to be local. She posed for me outside the Cathedral of Our Lady of Corpus Christi and later once I had finished the painting and framed it from Laredo Frames, Father Joe blessed the painting in the Cathedral. So, I'm not sure what the title should be. Again I loved my beautiful model Teresa. I used real gold leaf which was something new for me. I want to do a full size painting one day but his was close at 2x4'.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGMY0gk2tuwNvVyenY1x2wu4SsLMtD8X54oHRjnwhJNb-q086aq0hjeCZjdHc5W88F_G8BWbCZ0ZpOfzO3ljgc5iyye-g5bQfVZOzL5RBzqA5TbVn2PbWT4R_xrhpAn6d3x-f5dAy5w-sfTcHI0IjuwlcNdOk7yD96kDjSRqCbrXSR2973gg3gPOzW4w/s1800/0F5709BD-118A-43C7-9803-4B3AD64917F4.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

There are occasions when you just need something temporary to hang your work for Art Shows. Y’all know I like to recycle so I thought I’d show the process of this frame. I bought it at a charity shop and gave it a coat of diluted primer paint. I even wiped the paint with a rag to get it thin. I sanded it once dry with steel wool to get the distressed finish I wanted.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(5, 5, 5); color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(5, 5, 5); color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrsE4uTp-MkA-Em42Gzerchuug56XwyO_CCims8CiMYTbkPIv4Lo3O2RjjMZO2b6F7YGJb4Ca0R76OM36xD916v4RG8Kq_gr0IB9nnfRpjN2GZNoW0G9gVoNrmDhwPzNT62jKs-r96K1Z4/s2048/IMG_6382.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrsE4uTp-MkA-Em42Gzerchuug56XwyO_CCims8CiMYTbkPIv4Lo3O2RjjMZO2b6F7YGJb4Ca0R76OM36xD916v4RG8Kq_gr0IB9nnfRpjN2GZNoW0G9gVoNrmDhwPzNT62jKs-r96K1Z4/w300-h400/IMG_6382.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I really hopes this painting will sell soon. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Until it does I will enjoy looking at it on my wall.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhzjAHvYdmYSroRq5JejjV11E5SZjmFRW_cfWqTgmLEMBn_Ara1WdB9z5gr4qzhfMcvgRXs_v3gmlmmfKlHXVdrSk9WMGy63v1jY14E5SwmkEPdJu4QA6SZimXUNHVB8YDKETXKCeP3t86/s2048/IMG_6401.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhzjAHvYdmYSroRq5JejjV11E5SZjmFRW_cfWqTgmLEMBn_Ara1WdB9z5gr4qzhfMcvgRXs_v3gmlmmfKlHXVdrSk9WMGy63v1jY14E5SwmkEPdJu4QA6SZimXUNHVB8YDKETXKCeP3t86/w300-h400/IMG_6401.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">unclose view of the frame when finished.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifogjHPWxnJsMOSNj2uYdRznTJ0Tuv8Kbl9p3EG8WBm8xUFZidB-o7wZ1WRCgLGjjNMqpI-alilnHC-VeH4IAwb0r9QwksNbDOO-aDuoxJNFAf0m7WcPh8vBvkAwpOpbfYaTRlRIiNfTom/s2048/IMG_6403.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifogjHPWxnJsMOSNj2uYdRznTJ0Tuv8Kbl9p3EG8WBm8xUFZidB-o7wZ1WRCgLGjjNMqpI-alilnHC-VeH4IAwb0r9QwksNbDOO-aDuoxJNFAf0m7WcPh8vBvkAwpOpbfYaTRlRIiNfTom/w300-h400/IMG_6403.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><br /><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(5, 5, 5); color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><p></p>Alisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11865174616397488052noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-171012566936522142.post-91165997262587841632021-05-08T07:53:00.003-07:002021-05-08T07:53:52.108-07:00Happy American Mother's Day!<p><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(5, 5, 5); color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Yesterday I met a neighbor who has portraits of her four children when they were 6 yrs old.

It was my first time to paint a horse and actually I find pink a hard color to get just right. It is easy to become "muddy" as it is transparent unless you add white to it which makes it chalky. I love learning about color though and still enjoy the science of it all. Choosing which color to use, which compliment, does it need to be warm or cool, transparent of opaque, etc.etc. </p><p>The photoshoot for this painting was a blast. We were invited to take photos at a local Ranch and my model Alexis outdid herself, changing outfits and steadying her horse. It was a lot of fun and we were treated to some delicious enchiladas.

I am intrigued with Dia de los Muertos and plan do a series of paintings on the theme. Having lost a child, I think it's honorable and healing to acknowledge those gone in this way each year. The British way is to not mention their name, to cause embarrassment or uneasy responses. To me this painting also speaks about holding on too tight and not returning to the world of the living. Perhaps in grief hanging on to things that are not healthy for us. We can't control what happened and have to learn to control the consequences, one day at a time. Will this girl suffocate the butterfly or let it go?

These two painting models are actually sisters. What fun it was painting them both. Again, if you want to see videos of the paintings please check that out on my Facebook, Instagram or TikTok. Got three more paintings lined up to take photos next week, so I'm so excited I have trouble sleeping. I always get nervous when taking photos. I think it's because I am putting other people out. My models dress in costume, travel, take time off etc. and I know I can easily forget something. One model session I had my camera setting on jpg instead of raw. I took the photos thinking I could edit them in raw, which gives you more leeway to fix mistakes I make. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjle7l7PcV4VIBjgAHZfIQZICU7_JGHO1-ZQckwMRVBmgp6OAcRUlQbVT9ajNprMI3shdZss-2cas2VfBoWle8zk57-s3sQGKOrE9xDc3nskcDbfpJRvc-cpjUCXBVF816LDns1t2NhYzk/s2048/IMG_5146.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjle7l7PcV4VIBjgAHZfIQZICU7_JGHO1-ZQckwMRVBmgp6OAcRUlQbVT9ajNprMI3shdZss-2cas2VfBoWle8zk57-s3sQGKOrE9xDc3nskcDbfpJRvc-cpjUCXBVF816LDns1t2NhYzk/w300-h400/IMG_5146.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">To say goodbye to 2020 I decided to make a fun painting of Frida Kahlo.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I painted this yesterday afternoon.

The painting of "Girl with a Hand mirror" was on display at the Art Museum of South Texas. (about 7 miles from our home). So I thought I'd do another Master Copy. It is by William McGregor Paxton 1869-1941, and American Artist. The flesh tones were very interesting and the use of Viridian Green a color which I'm not used to using was evident. Made me think of Adrienne Stein's work.

First I glued and clamped it together, then I stapled it together. I was pretty pleased with my joints. I like challenges and the feeling of accomplishment when it works.

They have wonderful exhibits on. If you watch the video I made you can see the painting of “Man Reading” by John Singer Sargent, America’s beloved portrait Artist. 1856-1925. Photos weren’t allowed but I decided after looking at the painting up close and in person and finding a photo of it online I would attempt to do a Master Copy. Master Copies are a great way of learning. It’s not perfect but I decided to leave all my mistakes instead of striving for more. It was so much fun.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxwyi53CjeO0zVMHLF02As2wpgrKnjcd8AhVPSflYtiHG7w_m8H2zFahDV_F3m3Xg39IaiFyPb3wrgL-w-8ow' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyWakycCdagd5wkPSS6MP0pev5nzh7mpQeA2o6BRrOu5PGuYG5CdB1MBooQYafICu7PtiYf4nog-e52i0aC4Q' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv-q2j8MsxPC4bAdAfjvjpxYaMk39MnqkpiO3iDw5dvYYf-2jd-BDWmGzT8nGYPQYmjno5S5GID56nDkkFNYF1AhyqT4gH0CNhdQXPG2W3u-N0Def0iUzZ4eJP5icSVBg2vKN0ZTqqVbIf/s640/04F6D8D8-0157-4A72-8E02-AFBD018F5B19.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="367" data-original-width="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv-q2j8MsxPC4bAdAfjvjpxYaMk39MnqkpiO3iDw5dvYYf-2jd-BDWmGzT8nGYPQYmjno5S5GID56nDkkFNYF1AhyqT4gH0CNhdQXPG2W3u-N0Def0iUzZ4eJP5icSVBg2vKN0ZTqqVbIf/s320/04F6D8D8-0157-4A72-8E02-AFBD018F5B19.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ-kgTHCA-CX2zT5_vFGef8YRc6Ti77F2FY5tQ_hgaGj4wdEf_uaPb2IGqz4lI5wW5EZ_eJ8chZjRD2M6FRdHn8itkYKUD5EtvHFGXTbFySlDzvx2xHUz3Cv4ODR0N1DIZCPGndknx3nE_/s2047/73ADEBDC-F701-4D2A-891C-B0C26A85239B.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2047" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ-kgTHCA-CX2zT5_vFGef8YRc6Ti77F2FY5tQ_hgaGj4wdEf_uaPb2IGqz4lI5wW5EZ_eJ8chZjRD2M6FRdHn8itkYKUD5EtvHFGXTbFySlDzvx2xHUz3Cv4ODR0N1DIZCPGndknx3nE_/s320/73ADEBDC-F701-4D2A-891C-B0C26A85239B.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisHoPrD-SUVOYRk7lkgN0r_7Bkn8hUVgfQnl89l5nE80qG_rV86s5nmWBkDha9a3dJaM-GN7MaNlhQ8ZlPhhV16mfUgdqcMzFbTJGg1p7997TC6Wdj3rdLf_TfhNEXLPSXvixsZc-yuZjs/s2048/537EEF64-08F0-435F-8346-2986DD072D2D.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1534" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisHoPrD-SUVOYRk7lkgN0r_7Bkn8hUVgfQnl89l5nE80qG_rV86s5nmWBkDha9a3dJaM-GN7MaNlhQ8ZlPhhV16mfUgdqcMzFbTJGg1p7997TC6Wdj3rdLf_TfhNEXLPSXvixsZc-yuZjs/s320/537EEF64-08F0-435F-8346-2986DD072D2D.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p><br /></p>Alisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11865174616397488052noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-171012566936522142.post-47584295903145410392020-10-27T08:31:00.000-07:002020-10-27T08:31:29.518-07:00Hispanic Heritage Series “Teresa”<p> It does seem a bit strange a Scottish Artist who has spent most of her life living in Mississippi, moving to Corpus Christi, Texas and painting the beautiful colors of Mexico. I am in love, it’s like a color explosion. So in this time of COVID, I decided to paint a series of paintings celebrating Hispanic Heritage. With all this uncertainty next year I may be looking for a job but this year I paint. Thank you to my model Teresa.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgooKuP7VM2Qwza7ejPp_yPXx6-Ji8M5_DA41ClyA99KqJRTYlWRa_UungXvAXDs6hv4P7CRWV1wv18p0e8P725Rdu6Zhsde5bu8MQ9bbRSSEVW1Jr6wTXeAc5NUhOxZV3rbsO04l-FXaWQ/s960/1C32FE8D-22DF-4FD4-8121-CE9FF711419E.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

The biggest reason being the COVID 19 virus. We moved to Corpus Christi, Texas right before lockdown, when my husband got a job to be nearer our daughter and her family.<div>It's a strange time to be an Artist. I don't expect to paint any commissions this year so I decided to just have some fun. I am excited to be in Texas and to learn more about the customs and culture that is in Corpus Christi. It is a wonderful place to be if you are an artist, full of color, wonderful music, traditions, and delicious food. The people are really friendly. We are still in partial lockdown so I haven't met as many as I had hoped yet. I've been meeting other Artists through FaceBook. </div><div>So to celebrate my return to the blog and the colors of Corpus. Here is a painting I did titled. </div><div><br /></div><div>"The Girl with the Gold Earrings". (Available). 18" x 24" Oil on Dibond.
