Harbor UCLA's New Emergency/ Trauma and Surgery Building

A giclee of my painting Summer Days was accepted by Harbor UCLA Medical for showing in their new wing.  From the front of the new wing, you can see my painting in the upper right hand corner on the second story.

Paramount Artists Guild

My Aunt gave me this telephone back in the 60's.  It was just black at the time.  I then painted it with enamel paints in the 60's style of the time.  A few years later I packed it away and forgot about it.  Then a couple of years ago when moving, I came across it and decided to do a painting of it.

This was painted using my left hand. It was an exercise to access the right side of the brain. I am right handed, so it was difficult.

2010 Paramount Art Show

I entered the Paramount Traditional Artists Guild Show again this year. The judge for the show was Michael Humphries. He also did a demo, which was great! I would love to see him paint again. What a treat. He awarded me with second place for my Garlic, and Honorable Mention for my Pomegranate. Thank You.

Palmer

Palmer is a rare Black Palm Cockatoo owned by a friend of mine. What a beautiful bird. It looks as though he is saying "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful"

Orchids

This was an image that my nephew wanted me to paint for his girlfriend for a Christmas present. She had taken the original photo, which later was published. I hope she liked it.

This little flower was growing outside my bedroom window in the neighbors yard. Our neighbor has had their house under construction for 3 years now. No one there. This poor flower has grown despite the neglect. It was the one and only flower in the yard. The weeds are doing fine!

Peppermill

This was hard to get the correct color of the painting in the photograph. Dark colors don't photograph well. Probably because I don't know what I am doing. It is still not correct, but is as close as I can get. This subject was just an experiment. I wanted to see if I could get the look of the clear plexiglass. My challenge was getting the proportions to be even on each side and not look crooked.

First Place- Still Life

On 3-2-2008 A couple of friends and I entered the Traditional Artists Guild of Paramount art show. Debbie Marr a great professional artist here in San Pedro was the Judge. Entering the show was to be a learning experience, and just for the fun of it. To our surprise we won First Place in our catagories. Mine being Still Life, and my friend Jennifer won First Place in Floral. My other friend Shobha received an Honorable Mention. Needless to say we were giddy with pride!
