Almost Done!!

Please come out and see me at Greensboro Beautiful's Parisian Promenade. I will have some of my work displayed and will also be doing some live painting. There will also be other artists there as well, a sidewalk cafe, live music, kids' activities, french cooking, family games, gardening tips, and a poodle parade. It is Sunday June 5th from 1 to 5pm (free admission) at Greensboro's Bicentennial Garden. That's me and my husband Andrew on the right, so you will recognize me and I hate to not have a picture when I post.

Second stage of this oil portrait.

These geraniums found a new home! I know they will be happy in Paula's bright and cheerful kitchen.

Just got back from a short weekend in WV. Got to give my dad his birthday portrait and visit with family and friends. Top left is an old pizza pan I painted for my Step mom and Dad to hang above the door to their home. Below is just a really cool stump we came across on a walk. Now, I need to get back to painting...


Oh, and my website (not to be confused with the blog) is finally up, although it needs some additions and adjustments. www.hilarypaints.com

First stages of a new cat portrait in oil - under-painting and the eyes. Going to try to post as it progresses. background next, then detail on the cat.

Spent the day yesterday at the Sweet Tea Classic, which is a cool tournament for dogs (and their owners). Met some great people and fell in love with some really beautiful dogs. This tournament was put on by the Fur Fun Flyball Club, and you can check it out at http://www.furfunflyball.com/ or still catch it live today at Fairchild Community Center in Burlington, NC. If you have a dog what a fun thing to do! I have some friends in this club so I had the opportunity to design the logo using their ideas. fun stuff!
