Angel with Cowboy Boots - Palette knife painting of angels by Judy Mackey

"Angel with Cowboy Boots"

14" x  11", Oil on Board

I had this image of cowboy boots...maybe it's because I'm a part of the Artists of Texas and there is a lot of Texana in our paintings....?  And I live in Texas....and I was thinking - I'd like a pair of cowboy boots...

This angel seems to be walking with a lot of spunk...big steps...like Texans...and yet lost in thought...

I hope your angel, the one who watches over you, has spunk.  That they aren't too cautious when the devil sitting on your other shoulder is whispering for you to do something you're not comfortable with - that your "good" angel isn't making you do things that are too safe...

For the Mae Wests in us!  YAY!

Can I Come Along - Male Angel Palette Knife Oil Painting by Judy Mackey

"Can I Come Along"

12" x  9", Oil on Board

The one thing that sometime scared me was, will my pets be cared for if I should leave?  The title is for that thought.  It's also a cool looking "dude" angel with sunglasses.

Just a thought - be sure to remember your pets in your wills, be sure to ask friends who will be guardians to take care of them and - update your wills!   I know this is not a topic/reminder you thought you'd find but since I'm painting Angels - I thought I'd just mention it!

Pinkie and the Killers, Tulip Palette Knife Painting by Judy Mackey

"Pinkie and the Killers"

8" x  8" x 1.5", Oil on Canvas

Odd title for a painting?  There was a singing group in Japan in the '70's called Pinky and the Killer - at least I think Pinky was spelled with a "y"....Female lead singer with 4 men backup - kind of like Gladys Knight and the Pips.  They often dress in tux's and a Top Hat with canes.....I might have been reminiscing because of all the news from Japan.

When I posted this painting on FB, several alumni from my high school in Japan commented that they remembered the group and liked the title.

Well it's officially Spring now and tulips just feel so Spring.  Although I don't know if I can name just one flower to that honor....blooming trees, daffodils, hyacinths, all feel like Spring.

Have a lovely day!

Sunday Was a Good Day, Hydrangea painting by Judy Mackey

"Sunday Was a Good Day"

8" x  8"x 1.5", Oil on Canvas

Ever think at the end of the day -" today was a good day"......?

With all that is happening in my home country so many there not able to say that after the big earthquake that hit on Friday - I am so grateful for so many many things.

I'm grateful for my friends who have called these past few days to ask how my family are in Japan.  I'm grateful for the electricity, water, roads to drive my car, roof over my head, knowing the whereabout (generally) of the people I love, care about or know...

For me Sunday was a Good Day.  Hope you're having a good day.

Quiet Talk, Angel Palette Knife Oil Painting by Judy Mackey

"Quiet Talk"

10" x  10", Oil on Board

I was looking at my recent inventory of paintings and was thinking,  "I sure have painted a few angel paintings lately".  I have been posting them on Facebook and it has been a pleasant surprise to receive comments and thumbs up on the paintings.  I think Facebook has it's place in seeing what is getting people's attention and what hasn't.  

Yesterday I met Isabelle Gautier, a Georgia Artist who blogs on the Daily Painters of Georgia site.  We'd only "met" virtually through emails so it was nice to put a face to a name.  We visited a few Galleries and then had lunch at a French restaurant.  Isabelle is from the Normandy area of France so it was nice going to a French restaurant, ordering wine for lunch.  We talked about our art, ideas on galleries, what venues work for selling art, etc.  It was nice brainstorming and making a new friend.

A small abstract painting of a person and a dog...Dogs are in many of my paintings lately...
