"Distant Sunset" 5"x7" oil Day 14 in a 30 in 30 days challenge

"Distant Sunset"

5x7 oil

I painted several small paintings recently.

I have entered 5 of these smaller paintings into a 8 state 

regional juried show. I find out the results this weekend on

Saturday. It is hosted by The Artists of

NW Arkansas, of which I am a board member.

 I have had 4 previous 

Paintings in 3 of these shows.

Once I make 5 shows as a juried entrant, I 

become a signature member of our association. My

goal is to achieve that in 2017.

My first love is landscapes. 

I love the different seasons, the sun rising and setting. 

I love thick oil paint, the colors that can be 

mixed and what I can create with it.

Thanks for taking a peak at my paintings.

BTW...I will keep you posted if any of my painting

Get juried in.

ROWDY, 10" x10" oil by Leslie Newmanw

Rowdy

Meet Rowdy, my best friends Brittany.

I painted this fun piece from a picture that was shared with me.

I then surprised my friend And her entire family

With his painting.

This surprise was her Christmas present.

Rowdy is now 11 yrs old. It seemed like yesterday he was

a young puppy. He is still as active as ever.

I hope you enjoy viewing this fine dogs portrait! I sure 

enjoyed painting him!
