Glen Rose paint out Linda Rupard




Click to contact the artist for more information about this painting.

These are 2 paintings I worked on Sat at the Paint Out in Glen Rose.    First painting is one of the doors into the Courthouse & the second is of an old Post Office that really did have a short door,  around 4 ft tall.      Though I  really like studio painting best,   I did manage to get 2  small paintings going, even through the tears & sneezing.  .  I was able to stay in the shade of the big trees  & this & wind  helped me stay cool enough to stay the day.  Glen Rose is a beautiful little  town  with lots of old buildings, museums ,  trees & rivers and friendly people.   3 rivers make for lots of places to play on or in the water.   We stayed in the Tres Rtrees  camp ground , wonderful  trees & river access .  I would like to live there.   !8 artist were painting around town then a show an reception were at the art museum Sat night.   Poor Tex was trying to help me get setup in a different place & got stung by a Bumble Bee.    That scared me enough that I decided to quit for the day because don't you know that every leaf or bug was a  Bee coming for me.  I still am unable to crop my photos sorry about that.   There is a pie store in town with fresh baked pies,  lots of choices & yes I was bad & checked it out.   Then near Tres Ruees is a store that makes fresh fried pies & I was bad again & had fried pie.  They had many flavors too, even chocolate.  Yummy!!!   Uh oh wonder if that pie had no calories?  We stayed for a week & 1/2 so maybe I didn't do too bad & I did say no most days.

I can't upload photos for some reason but had  a wonderful Mother's Day with some of our Kids.  Roses & dinner & lots of photos I hope to share later.  I was at the LGAA meeting in Granbury &  saw a great demo by Nancy Standlee who shared ideas for  collage  & some funny stories too.     I will be going to a paint out in Glenrose Sat if the weather permits.    We are thankful for all the rain but hope for a clear Sat.

Psychedelic Cowgirl Linda Rupard



Click to contact the artist for more information about this painting.
This is a painting I started many years ago & didn't like .   I put it away &  forgot it.   I came across it a couple days ago & saw possibilities so I reworked figure, hat & face and moved color around keeping lots of the old color showing through.      She can come out of hiding ,   I think I like her enough to frame now.  I will  set it  up & study for a few days  may have to tweak it a bit  yet .

Greetings Linda Rupard





Click to contact the artist for more information about this painting.
I have been painting these small paintings that are greeting cards.   I am still working on a big bluebonnet painting on canvas board but it is going a bit slower then these smaller paintings are.
I just enjoy doing the smaller ones & the smaller works in my journal so much it is hard to get back to the bigger works.
