A minute ago, I turned 50. A lifetime ago (it seems) I was a Blue Star Mom with sons serving in Iraq. To ease my mind, I threw myself into painting as a form of personal therapy and growth. I'm a member of the Tennessee Art League and Collaborative Artists Network and some of my paintings can be seen here on my blog, there at www.thecann.org, and also on my website: www.moesse.com. There's also a facebook Fanpage under Moesse the Eclectic Artist if you'd like to keep track there.

My first creature attempt
I decided I had gotten into this class to be able to illustrate a children's story book based on my dog and my son Pete's dog so, this being the last class of the session, I better darn well take a stab at canines. Here's Smokey. I realize her eyes look evil and scary and hollow and I'll have to do something about that, but I am sort of pleased with the overall shape and stance and all that. What do you think?
And on the other picture -- remember, I work in pairs at least, since it takes them time to dry -- I still had another seascape in me, as illustrated here. It is from a scene on one of the travel brochures from the Panhandle region of Florida. I murked up the water something bad, but did an OK job on the seashells, sandollars and bird prints, I think.
