Australian Spring

It's Spring in Australia and this painting reflects that. A nice bush flower I think. The reason behind the painting is a painting swap! That's right, I get a painting and I send a painting from a group I belong to called Sketching for fun. I an so excited about this project and it really inspired me to create this little painting. Now for me, this is quite small, but thats what the swapping perimeters were, 8"x10" only. It's all wrapped up and ready to post. I will show you all the painting I receive when I get it. The swap is over on halloween. The person I get a painting from lives overseas in Australia so the mails will take awhile. Keep ya posted!!!!..........

The Man in Black

This particular piece is already SOLD, but let me tell you about it anyway. I wanted to portray Mr.Cash in a light that showed both his strength and his loneliness. I  know that he found his soulmate in his wife June but i also know that he faced a lot of demons due to his chemical addictions. I believe it was in large part because of his June, and all her love for him, that he eventually got sober. His music is soo unique and one of a kind. no one, absolutely no one, can play his music like he did. it was entertaining and sometimes gut wrenching. 

 I may paint another partial profile of his face but at this time I'm on hold with that thought.

Just one other thing...Although I connect with many of his songs, I remember as a child that I especially liked , "a Boy named Sue" because my middle name is Sue.

 What are some of your favorites by Mr.Cash?
