"MARK'S CAR" ORIGINAL OIL ON CRADLED PANEL © SAUNDRA LANE GALLOWAY

"Mark's Car"

6"x12"

oil on cradled panel

 

I've actually had this finished for about a week, but my computer is acting up and for some reason wouldn't let me post this photo.  This is NOT my typical subject matter, but this car; I'm not sure what kind it is...I called it a stock car, but not understanding the terminology I may be all wrong...HOWEVER, Mark; my daughter's father-in-law, and a friend LOVES this car...It has won awards and such...so I wanted to capture it for him.

 

My husband was amazed that I could do it; me not being a very linear person, and I told him I just thought of it like a puzzle.  Each part I thought of as shapes and lines...and that my friends is how one paints something way out of their comfort zone! 

 

SO, Christmas preparations continue at this house...and probably will until we leave for Omaha for the holidays!

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY CREATING!!

We just returned from my mother's house in Oklahoma City for a 5 day visit.  I have to say it was quite an experience!  We drove to our airport on the day of a below zero cold snap.  It took over 2 1/2 hours to get there...flew to OK City...landed in a major snow and ice event for them!  We passed cars that had spun out and even turned over...a scary beginning, but that wasn't the end of it...OH NO...during that time it was SO cold and ICY that we were unable to get out save one partial day.  Our power went out, and while I was on the phone reporting the outage there was a 4.5 earthquake! I'd never felt one before, so it was a bit disconcerting.  And, to top it off I was sick the whole visit! WOWIE!  I forgot my camera, so tried to limp along with the camera in my ipad...HOWEVER, since the IO7 update I haven't been able to transfer photos from it to my computer...don't ya just love those updates!! :)  SO, I'm leaving you today with just the visuals of the trip I "painted" for you in words!

 

HAPPY CREATING!
