October 2023 Challenge: Gift

"Ready To Open" by Kelley Carey MacDonald

This little (6x8") painting is part of a collection that will hang for the next two months at the Providence Art Club Little Picture Show (unless someone scoops it up!). It evokes memories of tinsel laden trees and is small enough to pack away with the holiday decorations.  It was a treat to paint this!  

"Greek Gift" 6x4, Acrylic by Page Railsback

"Two Bridges" 6 X 8 gouache by Jeanne MacFarland

Sitting on a dock in the sun, drawing and painting from the glorious scene before my eyes, and being surrounded by fellow artist friends was such a gift. I felt such gratitude!

 

 "The Lion King" 5"x 5" watercolor and gouache by Sally Dean

Each birthday and Christmas my Mom gave me a precious little Steiff animal. I have 27 of them. I have decided to use them to inspire little paintings, possibly for a future book! This guy, Growly, was lost in the leaves for a year when I was 6. My brother found him in the spring and I was ever so happy!

 

“The Gift” 6x6 oil by Mary Sheehan Winn

This small Christmas angel was a gift from a special friend and fellow member of GJWP. It belonged to her mother, which makes it even more special, and is on display all year round on in my dining room. I created this painting, which she displays in her home, as a thank you and I love that she still has her mother’s angel.

“Walks on the Beach” 12” x  14” acrylic sketch by Tori Chesley Brega

“The experience of living near the ocean is a continual gift…”

"Gifts" 8"x8" oil painting by Margaret Farrell Bruno

Playing with gift boxes.

"Sunflowers on the Porch" 6 x 6 gouache on board by Jody Regan - I have spent time during these gorgeous, sparkling fall days sitting on the porch, painting sunflower bouquets.  Porch time this fall has been an extended gift. 

 

 

 

 

 

"Gift" 5 x 7 watercolor by Pam Copeman - I have been creating my present gift cards for ten years.  I design them differently each year and embellish them with glitter after they are printed - some friends have even framed the cards.
