Dot to Dot Strawberry by Polly Jones

Pear Standing Guard by Polly Jones

I'm feeling a little self conscious trying to paint in front of the plumber outside the studio window.  Here are some paintings I forgot to post earlier.  Sold.

The Big One original still life painting by Polly Jones

The Big One by Polly Jones

6" square original strawberry painting by Polly Jones.  Sold.

What you don't see is the tape on the bottom that is holding this little broken shallow bowl together.

 Here's my display booth from a week and a half ago at the T & P Valentine Vendors fundraiser for our local (wonderful) art museum, The Grace.  I have never done this before and it was quite an experience!  I sold a couple of paintings and met some fabulous people.  I may even teach some art classes as a result. 

 

Here is my friend Tracy Gand who had the booth across the way from me.  You can see her vibrant work here.  Isn't she cute! Sorry for the lousy camera photo.  Kenny and I are signed up for a  photography workshop in March in the Texas hill country. I am really hoping to increase my skills!

 

Last week I spent with my parents in West Texas.  I'm blessed with such a wonderful family. Here are some paintings I did a while back and didn't have a chance to post.  I'll photograph and list them in my Etsy store later, am having camera issues right now.

Taking My Art to the T&P

Another Pink Garlic by Polly Jones

Tomorrow is the Valentines Vendor Fair for The Grace Museum here in town.  It will be open from 10:00-4:00, February 11, 2012, at the T & P Building, 901 North First Street.  Individual tickets for the all-day event are $15.  This should be fun.  It's a beautiful space and there will be all kinds of items from art to jewelry.  I've been busy getting ready and have some new little paintings that I forgot to photograph today to share.  SOLD

Keep-a-way Marble by Polly Jones

I have a lot of marbles but have lost a few lately.

SOLD

4" acrylic on canvas.

Redo paintings

Did some reworking of these two.  The second one I cheated on the "wallpaper" and collaged wrapping paper as background. 

Sacred Pear original mixed media painting by Polly Jones

Pear by Polly Jones

Here's another little one.  I'm trying to paint several for a Valentines Vendor Fair for The Grace Museum here in town.  It will be on Saturday at 10:00, February 11, 2012, at the T & P Building, 901 North First Street.  Individual tickets for the all-day event are $15.  I'm pretty excited because I've not really done this sort of art and craft fair before.  (except for jewelry eons ago)

4" acrylic mixed media on gallery wrapped canvas for sale in my Etsy shop here.

Tender original mixed media painting by Polly Jones

Tender by Polly Jones

When Kenny and I rented our first house, I made black and white curtains for our living room/studio.  These striped curtains figured into a lot of my paintings.  I'd forgotten how much I love painting stripes until doing this one.  It's connected to the whole polka dot obsession I suppose.  I finally got up the gumption to tear into my antique book on prayer for collage purposes.  The language is so flowery it seemed appropriate.
