Sunday Shoes by Suzy Pal Powell

Another small painting, 5x7 palette knife painting of Keri's little shoes. These are even smaller than the flip flop! I am such a 'saver' and some times I am glad that I am. These were such a joy to get out and paint. Shoes are still her favorite thing...along with purses! I do have 'both' of these! I don't know why I am missing some mates to the others.

Christmas Time Demo

I was invited to demo for the Denver City, TX art Association, and since it is already December, I decided to do a Christmas theme. I love doing them.
I went through my old vehicle file, and picked out an old truck, then I cut away all the background, drew in a Christmas Tree and a wreath.  It is available, 16x20 (after framing) suzy_pal2000@yahoo.com if interested.

The Colors of Cabo San Lucas by Suzy 'Pal' Powell

There were so much color in Cabo! It was such fun, and I got a lot of photos.  The Chef had a tiny place to cook.  Most everybody eats outside. We walked by this door everytime we went back to where we were staying, and I would try to photo him cooking, and sometimes he would turn around, so I would walk on. The door was actually pink. NOT this bright but pink anyway.
This is done on a piece of watercolor paper with 2-3 coats of white gesso. Each coat painted in a different direction.  When you put the watercolor on it, it goes in the groves etc. and I love the effects. You can clean it off back to the white too if you need to. It will be 16x20 framed.

247 Unknow U.S. Soldier

I painted this years ago, probably one of my first flags.

(in the 90's)   I was tempted to work on it but decided I wouldn't. I

Would just leave it like I did it back then. Thank you to all the

families who waited at home, praying for news from their special

'soldier', and thank you to all the veterans that served our wonderful

country to keep us free,  I took photos of a cemetery in Mississippi

 that was nothing but rows of white head stones. This one really touched me.
