Computer has been sick Charcoal boots

I have not forgot about my blog but we have had computer trouble as of late. We were told we needed to wipe it out and start over about a month ago and we did do a back up at that time but not all our stuff got saved. I went to Birmingham for a week and before I left I took pictures of the easter eggs I did and one of my new paintings that I delivered to Peterson's in Vicksburg. I had good intentions to posting when I got back. You guessed it the computer crashed and poof all gone. Our video card was out of whack and it was so bad I could not look at the computer very much. Yea that is now fixed. Next problem was the business cards and tags for my work was wiped out so I have had to recreate both and finally got it to work. So for now I'll just post one of my older works. It is a charcoal that sold a few years ago and was one of my hubby's favorites since it was his boots and old gun. Hope to post some new work soon working on a little large scale than 5x7 or 8x10 for the show in April.

Work Boots 8x10 acrylic

Bartered for deer meat.

I love painting old work boots. The front porch is of a little town not far from me called Learned.

They have some wonderful old rockers and chairs on the old front porches.

Hand painted Christmas Ball Boots

$15.00

I have been soooooooo busy this past week and this one also. I have not even sent my Christmas Cards out yet and I have to do it today.
In one week, I painted 22 Christmas balls this included sanding and then putting on gesso and then painting them. They are plastic Christmas balls so they will not break.
I really enjoyed the boots here for the Different Strokes for Different folks challenge this go around. Since I have been painting Christmas balls I did the challange on one.
I really would like to do the end of the year challenge but I will be out of town and do not think I could do justice in the time I would have to painting of a person.
