Trying Again...

I'm just a newby at all this, and will figure it out along the way, I'm sure.  My first two postings had my painting images in the wrong place, so some of the information and one of the pictures got lost.  Ho hum.

This morning I am going to repost the images and their information and prices, and hope you will stay 'tuned' for my next efforts....  they can only improve, right?




Double the Sorrows
24"x36" acrylic on canvas with ornate frame
$1,500 plus tax, S&H

She was inspired by antique photos given to me by a friend, of an angel monument from the Bonaventure cemetery in Savannah, GA.  The aged patina and darkening stains intrigued me, as well as her deep and evident grief, as she stands over the graves of two small children.  Her face was almost totally  blackened, however, and I used artistic license to recreate her features.  There were other things I changed as well.  After she was completed, I found her online, and the statue has been cleaned since the picture referfences I have.  In those, she is as white as a bar of Ivory soap, and not nearly as interesting.


All Better Now
20"x16" acrylic on canvas, unframed
$300 plus tax, S&H

This little guy stands over a child's grave at the Hollywood cemetery in Richmond, VA.  He seems to be ready to escort the little one to heaven.
