"Rocky" by Anne Spoon

28"x30" oil

I borrowed this antique rocking horse from a friend who collects all kinds of wonderful treasures. I have to admit it was a challenge thinking about pulling this off. Lots of planning before I started helped me to be free to just paint.

Whose Been Eating My Flowers?

10"x8" Oil

I went out to paint a landscape and painted a still life. The light on this bunny and the brilliant red of the cockscomb was too good to pass up. It's finally cool enough to paint out in Oklahoma. We have had an extra long and hot summer here. The OPA paintout is next weekend, Oct. 16 in Sapulpa at Pretty Water Lake. You don't have to be an OPA member to come and meet new painters.
