Son of Sun

Son of Sun___18 x 18 oil on linen___for American Women Artist's Show, Tucson, AZ

This is a familiar image for me!...one I have derived works from since taking a similar photo a few years ago. This version faces left whereas a previous version faces right (see below-on blog)... This square format original is my piece for the American Women Artists Visions of the Southwest Show. It opens in a few weeks at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum in Tucson, AZ on November 2.

I am orffering the giclee reproduction for a short time. It is a NICE giclee on paper, signed and numbered in a VERY small edition of 20. Please consider a gift of fine art for Christmas!

Sunny Quick Draw

Sunny __12 x 12 oil__Quick Draw aat the Phippen Museum Show__Sold

A week ago I was in Arizona, painting at the Phippen Museum Western Art Show Quick Draw. This quick draw gives artists 45 minutes to paint, an then 15 minutes to frame it! The crowd gathers around and watches. Artist friends come by and heckle (gotta love those artists!) Then we parade the paintings before a huge crowd and the works are auctioned. Sunny sold to collectors who have purchased from me before!

HEY YOU ARTISTS IN AUSTIN! I have a small group who organized a quick workshop HERE in Austin on the week of June 11-15. I will teach on 3 or 4 of those days! ASre you interested? The group is guaranteed to be small. Email if interested! vvaughan8@yahoo.com

Blue Trailer

Blue Trailer II___11x14 oil on linen panel___$850 unframed

I am painting things now for the Phippen Museum Western Art Show in Prescott, AZ. I'll be there in a few weeks with new stuff and visiting old friends! The painting here is another ne using my student's "palette droppings". Zoom in to see some surprise color!

I used a palette knife, here, and painted for another small audience at my mom's nursing home. I like to joke that they are the best audience, because many of them do not see so well, and they were all raised to be polite and say "That's GOOD, dear!" hahaha...

I will teach a workshop in Fredericksburg next month, and plan to show how to work with palette droppings. My theme again is "Capturing Impressions Quickly"...this year we will work outside less and draw MORE! Email me if you are interested! vvaughan8@yahoo.com
