"Wetland Wonder" (Both updated and original versions)
Please visit my Artalee wall and see my painting which is an updated version in acrylic on a 6" W X 8" H canvas panel. There is also an original version of the same subject which inspired me to paint the most updated version.
The original version is much larger which covers an area of 12" W X 16" H, and it is cut in a rather odd shape for an original idea. Most of all, I am promoting the updated more than that of the original version. I just want to show you all what I mean when I meant by the "original version", and yes, I can sell the original version.
Thank you very much,
Mary C. Aikens, Artist

"Sunflower Solo"
Sunflowers are one of my most favorite flowers, especially when it comes to painting them. There was a lady whom both my husband and I knew from church inspired me to have quite a real liking to sunflowers because she used to wear many articles of sunflowers on herself. She even loved the color of yellow which she wore quite often. For some people to see any or a particular person to have such a love or an obsession of sunflowers or other subjects will consider that as a turn off, but not to me. As a matter of fact, her love of sunflowers rubbed on to me even to the point of painting pictures of sunflowers. This painting is a textured painting by using a joint compound pasted to give it more of a three-dimensional effect. Although I enjoy painting sunflowers, however, the magnolia is still my most favorite flower.
"Fully Popped Corn"
I always wanted to do a very small item like a piece of pop-corn and give it an expanded view. Finally, I have had an opportunity. Almost every night, my husband will pop some popcorn, and he will share half a bag with me. One night, I picked up a popped kernal out of my bowl and started to study it. About that time, my husband will look at me and wondered why am I looking at piece of popcorn so strangely. I gave him an answer and told him that I want to do a painting of it, and his reply was "Yeah, Right" and "Do it and then talk about it later". About a week or two, my husband found me painting this particular picture, and he told me that my popcorn looks too much like a monkey's face. I said "See, here, I did it". Yes, my fully, popped corn may have a monkey's face, but I can now say that I finally painted that expanded view of a tiny thing that is a pop corn kernel.
"Oh Happy Day"
This is an old fashioned scene how people used to and still get baptized (in some places). For the most part, there is a particular song that is being sung during this occasion which is "Oh Happy Day" which has several variations. This type of baptism is both by total immersion of each candidate and symbolic of death, burial, and resurrection pertaining to the change from a person's old to new nature. This was an example that Jesus Christ demonstrated when John The Baptist baptized Him in the Jordan River.
