    GaleriaGila Hola, y'all!

    This is for you, Marko! And your great kimono find!
    My sister-in-law has a kimono fetish... decorates with them, wears them... I did this painting for her to sorta tie all the colors together with her theme... she calls it her "funky geisha". The walls are blue... and red and white occur in almost all her kimonos, and the gold/green is the main accent color for enameled furniture. The black of the silhouette picks up on a lot of black enameled stuff. It's about 3 x 4 feet.
    She owes me a margarita any time we go out.
    Not everything I paint is Mexican. :) funky geisha.JPG

    I love it!!!! My sister-in-law was married to a man whose mother was a Japanese bride during WW II and she has a large collection of vintage Japanese dolls, glassware, anything Japanese.

    GaleriaGila Hola, y'all!

    Sometimes I get in a mood to make miniatures. This is my fantasy "Galeria Gila". There are teensy-weensy miniatures of my rack cards, actual paintings for sale on ebay and elsewhere, easel and supplies, hummingbird feeder, a cot on the back porch, an evaporative cooler, and a Chihuahua, and lots more stuff. Everything is made out of cardboard, toothpicks, stuff like that. The "building" is about 10 x 12 inches, maybe 8 inches tall.

    Gila, this is great!
    Now you can make small fantasy figures of forum comrades and when one of us upsets you you make him/her stand in the corner for a while

    Greg, your quillery is amazing!

    Gila, you crack me up! Your little "Galeria" is as neat as a pin!
    Just like your real life.

    My real life is messier.

    Mostly when I paint or sketch, it's "X" rated and cannot be shown here...

    Most of my paintings used to be quite large but I did do a small one recently.

    I prefer to sketch and paint from real life and not from photographs.

    If not from real life, then from my imagination..
