Mountain Home sheep painting by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

I don't know why I decided to paint this it is unlike anything I usually paint.

Anyway it took me quite a bit longer than it should have.

Small Importance still life painting by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

I have a collection of tea cups. They are so delicate and fragile so what better to compliment them than a flower of really not so small importance.

Sammy dog painting by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

A dog. No dog is just a dog I say. They all have such spirit and hope. I have never met a dog who did not have love somewhere deep in their heart. And that tongue...that drippy wet tongue. How could anyone resist that.

Hide and Seek still life painting by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

I am so enjoying my new studio, Only one problem I have noticed is at times there is too much light filtering in for the many windows. Now now I must not complain for I am so blessed to have my own little place on earth to do what I love.

Got My Eye On You sheep painting by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

I would say that the pink in the ears of this sheep are not quite so pink as shown here It looks like as long as I have been doing this I would be able to take an accurate picture of my paintings. Sometimes they turn out close sometimes they don't. I have been painting for the last few days and did not realize how much I missed it.

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.

Jolly Old Saint Nick santa painting by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

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.
