With Purple On Top

The moment I let her know something has sold she makes a shopping list, usually for lots more than the sale:) She is mostly nonverbal.

Name That Painting

The hardest thing about painting for me is coming up with a title, and since I have joined a daily painting group that task is even harder. What I have decided to do is have a contest! Help me come up with a name for this painting and if I decide to use your suggestion for this painting or any of the paintings I do this year I'll send you a reproduction of one of my works. So put those thinking caps on and help me out.

This was done using acrylics on 8 x 10 x 1/2 inch wrapped canvas. The staple free sides are painted purple. It is signed and dated on the back, wired and ready to hang. You can find it for sale in my etsy shop, with a portion of the proceeds being donated to support Breast Cancer Initiatives.

Please, please, please leave a comment with your suggestion and make sure I have a way to contact you if I like your idea. Have a great day everybody, thanks for stopping by.

Bloom

Bloom - (c)Betty Refour - 2010

One of my resolutions for the new year is to paint more. In order to help me with that resolution I joined a daily painting group here in Oklahoma. This is my first painting of the new year. I'm not sure that I will be able to keep up the pace of painting daily but I'm sure going to try.

You can find this painting for sale in my Etsy shop with a portion of the proceeds being donated to support blood cancer initiatives.

More Gifts Yet Again!

I was trying to think of another idea we could do for stocking stuffers and found these gold frames for aceos' at Dollar Tree. We framed some for our local recipients and I think it makes them look really nice. Rose did these drawings too.

I also bought die cut cards for aceos' at Hobby Lobby. I did these drawings and some of my friends will get these instead of a traditional type of holiday card. We are almost done with everything, thank goodness.

Don't forget to tell me about the gifts you made.

Have a great day everybody, thanks for stopping by.

What Did You Do Today?

Glass Pendants by Rose and Betty Refour (c)

I've been looking for something to do with all the images that Rose has drawn. We've done cards, magnets and tees but I wanted to do something else. She likes to draw small sometimes and so I decided to see how her images would look as glass pendants. Today we each took one of our images and cut them to fit these tiles. This is our first attempt so we still have some kinks to work out but I don't think they turned out half bad. The best part is that she enjoyed it and it is sometimes hard to find things that will keep her interest. The one on the right is hers. So...what did you do today?

Have a great day everybody, thanks for stopping by.

Bounce (c)2009 - Betty Refour

The most difficult part of painting for me is coming up with a title. I've been watching the Australian Open though for the past couple of weeks and this reminds me of the computer generated images that are shown of where the players ball landed. I think mine is a bit more colorful though. This was done using acrylics on 8 x 10 wrapped canvas. The sides are painted dark blue so it's ready to hang. You can find it in my eBay store.
