Pets

2008-12-29T16:29:00.005-06:00

Here are a couple of pets I did for Christmas.... Cledus and Bruce were so much fun to paint! Keep that in mind for your "hard to buy for" friends and family during the next holiday season.

Different Strokes portrait

2008-12-29T16:20:00.008-06:00

This is the latest from Karin Jurick's Different Strokes From Different Folks challenge. Photos of artists were emailed out and we had a few weeks to get our portraits completed. The mystery artist I have painted is a lovely woman- I just hope she doesn't mind that she came out a little cartoony. Portraits are not my thing, but maybe one day....
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and the New Year brings you much happiness. There are a few changes coming for Leslie Lockhart Fine Art in 2009. More news to come soon.
Happy New Year!!

Work Boots---SOLD

This is the latest challenge from Karin Jurick's Different Strokes From Different Folks website. If you are feeling sentimental about an oil painting of work boots, give me a call. I've never wanted to paint boots before, but that is the fun thing about this new website- it makes you look at things differently.
Christmas shopping is in full force. If I can be of any help with gift ideas, I have gift certificates available.

OK, you may be getting sick of me but this Karin Jurick Different Strokes from Different Folks Challenge is too fun! I would have never looked at this enormous sculpture and wanted to paint it but leave it to Karin to push us out of our comfort zone! Go to http://www.differentstrokesfromdifferentfolks.blogspot.com to check out all the entries. See if you can spot what I left out! ugh!

Ahhhh! I love fall, and I love this new "challenge" I have been participating in... one of my favorite artists, Karin Jurick, has very generously created a blog where artists from all over paint the same object- once a week. She then posts it with links to all the artists websites!!! Can you believe the exposure she is sharing?? The website is http://www.differentstrokesfromdifferentfolks.blogspot.com/ You can go to Karin's website from there. Please check it out when you have some time- it is a treat!
