Only Once A Year Santa painting by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

Just one more Santa Claus. I had so much fun painting these. I really do want to paint more but find it so hard with taking care of my mom. My time is so limited but sometimes we must put aside what we want to do in order to fulfill the things we must do. I am so blessed to spend this time with her and have this year with her. She is 90 and we have laughed and hugged so much. I have taken her shopping and out to eat. Time is valuable so I will paint and post when I can. I hope you enjoy these as I had to sneak away to paint them. Merry Christmas to you all and thanks for visiting.

I snatched a little time today to paint a Santa for you. It is Christmas time and I could not let it slip by without painting him. I could not get rid of the glare and the color is stronger than it really is. I have lost my camera so had to take the pic with my phone.

Again this year I felt compelled to paint just one more painting of this snowman. He is a gift from my good friend. I chuckle as I am posting this because I thought something was missing. I was so proud of adding the cherry at the bottom that I forgot to add his green scarf. Funny huh?

Wow! I can't tell you how much I enjoyed painting this.

This is a really nice painting. 7x5 oil on canvas panel snow scape.landscape painting.

7x5 oil animal painting on canvas panel. I found a photo of this little fellow at morguefile.com He popped up on the home page and I couldn't resist. He was holding a piece of bread or something but of course I had to change that. You know it is better with berries just because they are red.

Thanks for visiting today hope your Thanksgiving is awesome. Enjoy family, friends and of course good food. 

Christmas Dreams snowman painting by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

Christmas Dreams snowman painting by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

I just must share the cutest story. Recently I posted how that I have my 90 year old mother living with me for awhile. She is wheelchair bound and my life adjustment has been challenging to say the least. She is such a cute little lady with silver hair that wisp around her face creating the sweetest halo. Well needless to say my time to paint or any alone time has really suffered because of my commitment to help take care of her. Today I thought I would get up at 5am so I could paint before she needed me and the chores of life began. I am sitting at my easel smiling and painting when my cell phone rings at about 530. It was mama wanting me to come get her up so we could have coffee. I could do nothing but lay my brushes aside and walk gently down the stairs and open the door to see the prettiest lady I know smiling back at me. I finished this painting in bits and pieces throughout the day. Maybe I just have to learn to paint in short intervals instead of finish a painting in one session. 7x5 oil on canvas

I wanted to paint this. I took this picture because I love the look of Silo's or as some people call them...Grain elevators. At the onset I decided to add a touch of red which is the reason for the small red rectangle out front. The green here is a little brighter than it actually is in the painting.

Milk Maid cow painting by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

Milk Maid cow painting by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

Again, again, I just can't paint enough cows. They are my absolutely love them. The are slow or at least I think they are. I won't be climbing over any fences to find out. I really liked painting the pink udders on this one. This cow was staked out in someones yard in Amish country for their personal use of milk I think. Her udders were full and she was just happily munching on the green grass. She was behind a chain link fence which I promptly left out.

The other day my grandson ran to the curb and promptly sit down to wait on his mom

to get home from work. I decided that anyone seeing him there would think what a nice young man.

They would never guess the mischievousness inside. I just had to paint it. I wanted to call it Waiting On a Woman but figured that was copyrighted or something.
