It's a Jungle Party, a Zebra, a Giraffe, a Monkey

and an Elephant with Balloons,

Oh My!

(The Jungle Party is still in progress. There is a baby tiger in the tree

and a monkey to be finished.)

The Nursery area of Sagamore Baptist Church located on

East Chase Blvd. right off I-30 is taking shape.

One more room after the Jungle room is complete is an Ocean Scene

with porpoise jumping, a sand castle, shells and star fish

and lots of Ocean Palm Trees.

My good friend Sandy is helping me with the murals.

OPTIMIST INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATION

PRESIDENTS CLUB LUNCHEON

JULY 2, 2008

GAYLORD TEXAN

GRAPEVINE, TEXAS

I was honored to be invited to the President's Club luncheon of the Optimist International Foundation to help in the unveiling of the painting I did for their 2008-2009 fundraiser. As each Optimist Club around the US and Canada donate to the Foundation, the club receives a signed and numbered print of the painting.

I gave a short speech thanking the foundation for the opportunity
of working with Judi Smith, the OIF Director, and others the last four years that I have done their painting for the fund raisers.

Here is the painting covered before

the unveiling and I am speaking

to a room of about 160+ people.

The new presidents were

introduced, one is from

Canada and the other

is from the United States.

"OBS"

A Baby's Monogram

on a Polka Dot Wall

The Monogram matches the bedding for a special baby boy.

All in blue, lavender and green stripes accented by
a green polka dot wall.

The baby's crib will go under the monogram of his initials.

A scripture over the baby's closet reads...


Sons are a heritage from the Lord
Children a reward from Him.

Psalm 127:3

Oil on Canvas

Painted by Margie Whittington

A friend from high school which has been
forty+ years ago, asked me to do this portrait of
her when she was twelve years old at a piano recital.
The photo that the painting was done from was a black and
white with no color and some very dark areas.
She described the colors and the details of the photo and
this is what I painted.


It was a challenge and I am hoping my friend will be pleased
with the finished portrait.
Shhhh, she hasn't seen it yet. Her birthday is in August and I
think she has given up on me ever getting it finished.


A BIRTHDAY SURPRISE !
