" Color That Sings"
Tuesday, February 3, 2009
Our daughter went to the Kentucky Derby last year and we talked about her buying a hat for it. And just lately I was thinking about it and thought it would be fun to do a few paintings of women in big hats.So I started a mini series on ladies " Kentucky Derby" hats.What do you think ?
I went with your daughter and these are great! You have such a fantastic talent! I'm so jealous of that! I, too, like to paint - not very good, but seem to do better when inspired and these paintings are fantastic! Thank you for doing them! Marci, Ohio
Hi Marci, Thank you for your nice comment.I would love to see some of your work, we " "artists" types never think we are as good as we would like to be.But I bet your work is great. Our daughter said youall had a great time.Please come back for a visit because I will be posting on a regular basis. I'm kinda new at this " blogging" so if you can't send me photos on this, send it to my e-mail alstonfineart@aol.com Very best, Alston
I'm happy you stopped by. I hope you will enjoy your visit and leave a comment on any or all of my work.
If you will leave me your e-mail address I will e-picture you my latest work while it's still wet on the easel. I might even send you a work in progress.
A little art with your morning coffee or tea.Or perhaps with a relaxing libation in the evening.
If you like my work please tell a friend and come back often for a visit. I look forward to seeing you.
It was after completing my business career and raising my children that I was able to devote myself and my time to my PASSION for oil painting. I am primarily self taught, I bascially taught myself to paint because I told my sons " you can do ANYTHING if you want to do it badly enough" and since I ALWAYS wanted to paint I decided I should set the example by doing it. And words can not say how much I love painting.
I am creating educational coloring books for young children. I am frustrated seeing the lack of education our children are getting. I think children learn better whenlearnig is fun, therefore my coloring books.
I went with your daughter and these are great! You have such a fantastic talent! I'm so jealous of that! I, too, like to paint - not very good, but seem to do better when inspired and these paintings are fantastic! Thank you for doing them!
