ESAL Member Show Paintings


Here they are! I finished the owl last night at 9pm.( the framing too)  I've got to start earlier and make up my mind on subject matter very early! I'm so glad to have them finished. Today I have to go to Cape Charles and deliver them. I'm delivering Monelle's work and Gertraud too. Then to the grocery store.

As you can see I changed owls and leaves, totally started over. It's a barn owl in an old barn window with a vine and a floating leaf. The vine is from the lines of the pour inspired from my backyard's trumpet vine. I heard the Great Horned Owl in the backyard last night, the night before Sadie met a Screech Owl back there. She ran to the house. ha, ha.. Talk to you soon, Love,Diana

    I totally agree with Barbra Joan. Good luck at the show, Diana. So glad Sadie had the wisdom not to tangle with an owl! LOL Love the idea of the owl in the barn window too.

    Ah Diana - these are awesome...I know you will win!! What happened to your first owl? Are you still working on it or did you toss it? It certainly looked like it would be a winner too. As for Sadie - I am glad something made her decide to stay out of trouble (LOL)! Hugs Friend

    They are both great! I'm especially glad that you decided to finish the tractors. They really capture a time of tranquility!

    Diana, I also prefer the tractor scene. Hope you have a good showing in Cape Charles and at the member show. All is well with us and yes, we remain on the eastern shore, but longing to be elsewhere.
