Dixie Art

Finally, a dayan entire day to just paint, yay !! Working on a commisioned gift , so, sorry, no photos yet. But, here is an oldie from my beach living days .

I can find a use for most anything, so I seldom throw anything away, resulting in a cramped art space. The woes of a por mans craft/art addiction.

My 12 yr. old grandson Lestat Avellino lives in Florida. In August he texted me and asked if I would do a collaborated project with him. He wanted to make a drawing, and then for me to transform that drawing into a painting. In the course of time he asked if his Uncle Alton (my 43 yr. old son) could maybe do some adjustments on his drawing to make it fit a 16"× 20" canvas. He and Alton worked together through messaging and came up with the composition. Alton added a few characters, and for fun, we added a few surprises for Lestat.(L.J.)... The photos show most of our work. L J's is the one with added pages, drawing by Alton, painting by me. I think that I forgot to get a photo of the finished painting or Alton's finished drawing. If LJ or his mom sees this post, maybe one of them will take one and share it in the comments.🥰🫶🤞

Took a brief 2 day break from my current portrait commission to help my grandson with something for school. He needed a blue poision dart frog for a rainforest project. Now, I did not do his project , he just needed this to be part of it....I would try to move the earth if he asked me too. Made of polymer clay, the frog is 2.5" from butt to tip of longest front toe pad.
