original oil on gallery wrap

here's a little ditty I reworked a bit...I borrowed a pair of shoes...fancy party shoes..from my friend diane a while back to use as fodder for this one!

16x20 oil on gallery wrap canvas

so this is a painting i did in june for my golf pro at harrison lake.. ( I think I actually tweaked it some more...made a bit less of her reflection so as not to take away from her face..) it was a birthday surprise for his daughter quinlyn's sweet sixteen!~ she's a lovely girl and I hear they were all very happy with it!  I don't know what's happened to the summer..i attended a 3 day workshop in zionsville with john buducin..loved it and learned a lot! - then I took a one day workshop with peggy kroll Roberts at one of the lily homes in indy...I only wish i had more time with her...she was fantastic!...I've been doing a bit of painting but also playing golf...it's so hard to head to my studio on gorgeous days!! - plus my hubby is coming off left shoulder and wrist surgery..he was miserable..couldn't play golf...couldn't sleep...so now he still can't sleep or play golf but it's only less than two weeks out and i am really hoping for the best!!..it's an absolutely gorgeous Saturday afternoon and we would have surely been on the golf course..he's napping with a bag of peas on his wrist and I've been in my studio..i'll post some of the newer stuff as I try and get back in the swing of this blog!!
