My two nieces, </span><span style="font-family: georgia;">sister in law, and my daughter took a road trip from Boston, up to Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and finally New York state. I had always wanted to go in the Fall, and we finally just did it! The scenery was everything I expected...the pictures do not do justice to the foliage, which was breathtaking. It was all so quaint, perfect little homes, spotless highways, picket fences, covered bridges...perfect. I also thought that those residents live in a "bubble"...what a unique, quiet, peaceful lifestyle they must lead. We stayed in the little towns, and out in the countryside, avoiding the large cities. I did some sketching and painting. There was inspiration everywhere. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">We rode a train, sampled apple cider doughnuts, ate lobster rolls, walked through a covered bridge, hiked along boulder strewn streams, and gazed at colorful hillsides and valleys. It's an amazing destination; if you have never been, you should plan to go. Just don't wait till you are 65! </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></p>Gail H.

Mainly, because once I joined Facebook, and had grand<p></p><p>children, I was posting on there. But that doesn't mean I stopped making lots of art. Someone </p><p>recently asked about using an image from this blog, so I decided to re-visit it and post some new </p><p>work. </p><p>I have been doing a lot of Louisiana birds with these abstract backgrounds. And I have also still been traveling. This past summer, I took a group to Canada (western) and Glacier National Park. I have some great paintings from that trip as well. Before that, we went to Iceland, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji! </p><p>If anyone out there is still viewing, thanks! </p>Gail H.

They have<br />been selling my work for awhile. But recently, they have<br />sold quite a few. They call every couple of weeks and want<br />more! Yay! So, here are four new ones that I did<br />quickly, so that I could take them down there.<br /><br />This is a new style I have been playing with. The background is<br />done loosely with watercolor and allowed to dry.<br />I use my own reference photos and add the birds or<br />object then in acrylic paint, which is opaque. It covers<br />over the watercolor background, and especially makes<br />white areas possible. They have been a lot of fun...I am<br />really enjoying them. They combine my two favorite techniques:<br />loose, washy wet watercolor, and then detailed,<br />realistic image. perfecto!!<br /><br />sheltongail@hotmail.com<br /><br />Louisiana Marketshops at the 115<br />Breaux Bridge, LA<br />On I-10 near Lafayette, LA </span></b></td></tr>

We visited the Hawaii<br />Tropical Botanical Garden...if you are ever on the Big Island,<br />be sure and visit. It was stunning. The flowers, surroundings,<br />waterfall, the ocean, were all amazing.<br /><br />I used some watercolor backgrounds for these. The flowers are<br />painted mostly in acrylic paint. I added details and shading<br />with some colored pencils. The white flowered one is 5 x 7, and the<br />other two are 8 x 10. They are matted and ready to go! <br />If anyone is interested, I can ship anywhere.<br />5 x 7 $25 8 x 10 $35 <br /><br />sheltongail@hotmail.com</span></i></td></tr>

This was<br />the case with this caricature. My sister in law has been hosting Sunday<br />lunch and holiday gatherings at her home for 30 years. My husband's family<br />all lives in the area, so the whole gang has regularly attended church and<br />then enjoyed lunch at Becky's house.<br /><br />She recently made the decision to move into her father's house, and<br />has since then, sold hers. It was bittersweet to meet together one last time<br />at her home, and eat Sunday dinner together. Our family has changed over the<br />years: we are missing some, and we have added others. So, I decided to draw<br />the whole bunch, and then we posed for this pic...in the same order we are<br />in the drawing...lots of laughs as I set the timer on the camera, and ran<br />to join the group! Everyone signed the back, and it will be treasured<br />momento in her new place. Fun, fun<br /><br />If anyone is interested, I can draw a cartoon of your<br />family or group...inexpensive and quick.

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">I first went to Italy 10 years ago; it was one of my first trips when I retired from<br />teaching Art and Art History. I was anxious to get to paint there, and take photos<br />of all the iconic locations. Venice was my favorite destination during the trip. I always<br />knew I would return. While there again this past summer, I was eager to take more<br />photos, especially of the famous Piazzo San Marco. I knew this time that the square is<br />usually FULL of tourists during the day, so if I wanted some great shots, I would have to<br />get there early. So, I rose before the sun, and made the 1 mile walk to the square from my hotel.<br />In the early morning light, this cat and I were on a mission.</span></td></tr>

The gondolas are parked here overnight, and some of the gondoliers where just arriving, and uncovering their boats. You can barely see one far to the left. The water is calm, and the bay is not yet full of activity. The water taxis and other boats are not stirring yet. I love the gondola reflections in the water, and the pink and blue sky, echoing the blue of the gondola covers. The poles and the church campanile add some nice vertical elements to the composition.</span></td></tr>

I stopped to do some<br />of the artwork for the Lake Charles show. So, I just now came<br />back to it and finished it. The feathers were very tedious, as was<br />the pine needles. I decided to blur the background...makes the bird pop<br />more to the foreground. This is a commission piece. The<br />client gave me the photo of the eagle. He collects all<br />kinds of "eagle" things. I will deliver it to him tomorrow.<br />Hope he likes it!<br /><br />sheltongail@hotmail.com</span></b></i></td></tr>
