Actual Paintings

Though this piece, "Pretty Please," a portrait of Zanayah and her cousin at the botanical gardens, did not win a prize, it is also in the August show.


This is one of the first place paintings--"Picnic at Pocahontas Park," a portrait of Annette and her baby.

The second of the two first-place winners: "The Sweet Life"--a portrait of Alkendrick and Alkendrick Jr. in the church basement.

Congratulations Cynthia on winning first place with your two paintings! Wonderful!
Mama Joan let us know about the article in today's Richmond Times Dispatch and I just read it. Excellent!
I'm sure the fish fry will be a big success.

I am Mike Vandiver, a retired United Methodist minister living in Anderson, S. C. I am trying to find Dr. Carl Losen who was a professor at Erskine Seminary in 1961. Can you be of help. Thanks. Mike Vandiver mvandiver2@gmail.com

i am an avid fan of your paintings! your self-portrait had so much emotional integrity. I would love to see more self-portraits because I feel like they are your strong suit and allow the viewer to really see the soul of the inner artiste.

As i am an aspiring artist also, would you mind sharing some tips and tricks? How did you go about booking your first art show?

Thanks! Happy Painting!
