SECOND PAINTING OF THE SUMMER
Another Wolfe bird, this time with the lantern flowers that I also love to paint. This one is on a 9 X 12 gallery canvas. I like the colors in this one a lot.

POTTERY
These items are some of my creations from the beginning ceramics class that I took with Jimmy Tillotson at Hinds CC this Spring. The pot on the left is a coil pot and is a candle holder/incense burner. The center piece is a simple, slab constructed vase. The little pot on the right with the marbles inside is a pinch pot with three little feet added.

I have a few more pieces that I did as well, however, I have not photographed them yet, and a couple of them are still at the ceramics studio awaiting a glaze fire. I really enjoyed the class. Jimmy is a truly unique character, and I am privileged to have had the chance to take a class from him.

FIRST PAINTING OF THE SUMMER
The ladies are back together painting for the summer. The first ones to turn out have been Kathy, Ms. Melanie and myself. Hopefully more will join us shortly. So sorry Ms. Eugenia could not be with us due to car troubles. We are already thinking of where we might have a show of our summer work.

This is my first painting of the summer. It's oil on canvas and measures 8 X 16. I actually managed to produce two paintings this week, an amazing feat for me. I don't know what is going on with that. This one happened to be dry enough to transport and I wanted to show my mom, as one of the birds belongs to her. I'd been wanting to paint some groupings of Wolfe Studio birds. I got my wish this week. These are a couple of birds from Ms. Melanie's collection, and the bird I gave my mom this past Christmas (the little fat blue one). I adore these little birds. I must go to Wolfe Studio this month and use my coupon they sent me for a discount on one in May/June. More to come! Tweet-tweet!

LATEST PAINTINGS
These are my latest oil paintings; the last from school. The little Wolfe bird painting is my personal favorite, however, I think "Juicy" is the best one overall. I'll be painting with the ladies in Raymond again this summer and am very much looking forward to that. Hopefully I'll be attending Mississippi College in the fall to continue my art studies and work toward a Masters in Fine Art.

Juicy
