Signal Mountain with Skull Linda Rupard

This is one of my paintings that will be showing at the Heritage Museum in Big Spring for our Caboose Watercolor Group  through May.  Our reception will be May 24 from  5:00 to 7:00.  This is my painting which was inspired from one of Georgie O'Keeffe's paintings for our old Masters show .  Hope to see some of my blog friends there.  Museum is open Tues-Fri 8:00 to 4:00 Sat  hours are a bit shorter.  I will post that with my next painting.   We are 6 artist that have been showing together for many years now.   A little different show this time we worked in water media on gallery wrap canvas. WE each did from 3 to 5 paintings so a nice size show.

In The Desert By Linda Rupard

I think I can call this finished  .    This   collage painting is on  a cradle canvas with   2
inch edges collaged to match the painting, wired and  ready to hang, no frame needed.
  I have 2  more going on   12 X 12  cradle boards.    The small photo is the edge of the
painting shown. These three paintings  are going to Betz Gallery in Houston for their 12X 12
show in Nov.     Wow, it is Nov.  seems like it got here fast this  year.  I hope all my friends
in New York & the East coast are getting through this  terrible weather they are having &
& haven't lost anything to the winds, fires & floods.

Skull Collage in progress Linda Rupard

I am working on this skull collage 12x12 cradle board.  May take out the pots & rug behind the skull,  working in acrylic & collage.  Also working on a 24 X 24 skull & mountain acrylic on 24 X 24  cradle board canvas.  Hopefully I will have both finished by next week to post .  Everything slowed down again because I am also trying to get my studio going again after it flooded  and I lost lots of things.  We are still going through & throwing away things that got too wet to save I hated to loose the area carpet we had just had in for a week but it had to go.    Husband sealed the area where  we think water came in I am looking at carpet tiles this time so they will be easier to replace if something does get spilled or dropped  on carpet.  Though it could flood again if we get 10 inches of rain.  The only time I have ever saw that happen here  in our area of West TX.    I am saving all the outside edges for painting & only carpeting  in the middle of the studio  area.  I didn't want just cement for all the floors.  I  may paint that part later on.

Boots & Skull

This is an acrylic I had done awhile back. I have several versions of this same subject. Western is one of my favorite subjects so had fun doing this one. Acrylic painted on 16 X 20 canvas. From a still life photo that friend Kay shared with me.
