Tribute to Barbara Haukenberry by Linda McCoy

Barbara Haukenberry was a great and spirited collector of art. She purchased many pieces from the Daily Painters Gallery. One cold February morning I received an email from her asking about purchasing baby mockingbird painting. She was so excited about the painting. We emailed back and fourth about the baby birds, and what good mothers the mockingbirds were.
Barbara would be a little sad if she knew the story of this painting. This little robin's egg was found under a tree in our yard. Unhappily the nest was no where to be found.
Barbara passed away a short time ago. The planet, artists, and the creatures she loved will miss her spirit.

She Sells Seashells, Oil Still Life by Linda McCoy

This old bowl/dish was a find in an antique store. It is covered with patina and remains a mystery metal. The outside is a burnished brown and the screws that hold the handles on are worn. I wonder about it. It's the second time I've painted it, it's history remains a secret. The seashells were just purchased in a bag of mixed shells and I've been meaning to get to them.

It rained today, no bright light. I like chromatic greys of this piece, and mixed them using permanent rose with a little Winsor Green and white. A quiet painting.

6"X6" oil on gallery wrapped stretched canvas. $100.00. If you are interested in purchasing, please email me at tcoy1@msn.com
