A number of new paintings and an award

I claim the title of "Queen of Third Place".  I won a third place award in the Burlington Artist League Senior Art Competition. I entered a chair that I had painted in the 3D category.

I have won 12 awards since I started entering competitions in 2007.  I have 5 third place, 4 honorable mentions, 2 People's Choice Awards and a special award from the Oro Valley Historical Society for a contest they had for the best painting of Steam Pump Ranch.  Here is that painting which I titled "Images of Steam Pump Ranch".  It now hangs at the Ranch.

I completed 3 new paintings since my last post.  This is one that I did for myself to hang in our powder room after we do the remodel.  It is another in my Study in Patchwork series.  This one is #5.

This is a large painting.  It is 30"X24".  I've mentioned before that, for what ever reason, photos of large paintings Do not look large when I post them.  The Steam Punch Ranch painting is 14X11 and looks larger than this one.

In the past I have done a number of paintings of flowers in vases.  The titles name the type of flowers and the color of the vase.  This one is "Tulips in Teal Vase". Sizes is 20X16.

The third painting I did is one more for my peacock series.  I call this one "Peacock Panache".  Size is 24X12.

This is another example of the photo not reflecting the size of the painting.

I am currently working on another peacock painting.  I don't know why I have been facinated with peacocks lately.  A few years back I when we took a trip to San Antonio I was haunted with peacock objects everywhere we went so when I got back home to AZ I did my first peacock painting.  I sold it at a one man show I had at the Skyline Country Club.  I recently did another version of it and had fun, so decided to do a series to see how inventive I could get painting peacocks.  The one I am working on now is the forth in the peacock series.  When I finish it I will post photos of all 4 of the peacock paintings in the series.
