Blue Ridge Parkway Artist, Sister Paintings, and It is always a Battle...

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist

I have two sisters and they have let me make portraits of them which is something artists often do.  Models are expensive and it is a great experience to paint family members.  

 

This first one is of Nan when she was ten with the only dog she had growing up.  My mother decided I needed a dog and we got this adorable poodle that we all loved.  We liked to let the hair grow out rather then trim it. 

Beau was a very sweet dog and Nan was devoted to him.

Nan was quite athletic and became a Ice Skating instructor.  I love to tell people that since it certainly isn't a run of the mill occupation.  She excels at skating and teaching the sport.

I am glad I was able to paint her as a child and adult.  She is an interesting subject and I am especially pleased with the expressive look in her eyes in this portrait.

My new painting is coming along but I think it is going into the arm wrestling stage.  I guess if they didn't start out well I would never pick up a brush. 

I love to paint but it is always a battle!

Here are two more skater paintings from the Dominion Skating Rink that was a great place for all ages in Christiansburg, VA.  I especially liked watching the kids play trios!  They had to skate hooked up and then turn around whenever the announcer said skate in the opposite direction!

 Life with The Word and Bird Man

Yesterday I was talking to my husband about shingles as we were reminded by the TV for the umpteenth time to get the vaccine.  I was surprised that he hadn't gotten one yet.  I got mine a year ago and now I have to remember to get one every seven years.  I have heard how awful shingles are so I do want to prevent an outbreak.

My husband wasn't concerned.  He has a lot of pain in various parts of his body due to two different falls.  His response was why should he get a shingles shot.  The shingles would be just one more pain to deal with.  Take a number!

I'm not much for nagging but I think I will try to get him to get the shot.
