I am a Professional Artist in Fairhope, Alabama. My work is in multiple media but my favorite is Acrylics~next in line Watercolors and then Oils. My favorite subjects include local wildlife, landscape~usually with boats, and obsession paintings (looking at other peoples obsessions in a new way).I participate in a lot of outdoor shows with helper and spouse Christopher. I do several outdoor shows a year and this blog is about the adventures getting ready for them.

"Turtle with Tude"
"Turtle with Tude" was a lot of fun to paint. I still to this day love painting turtles and they never cease to amaze me with the speed that I am able to complete them. I really do think that I could paint turtles in my sleep! Sometimes I do wake up from my nightly rest and find I have been dreaming of painting them! This guy however is from a photo I took in Tampa, Florida last year and painted during my waking hours. This turtle swam beautifully despite having been attacked by what seemed to be a shark. (There was quite a large chunk missing from the left side) this animal was still amazingly beautiful when it cme bck to see me standing at the glass. I will never tire of painting them!
