Liz Hill, Irreverent art...

Have been working on many different things, as my show at the Jung Center is January 5 to 31. These are just some examples of some of them. I have over 40 paintigns to hang. Will get back to my regular postings after the opening the 10th. It's been alot of work and very productive, should give me a large inventory of paintings, which I have never had before. Am looking forward to the opening.

some people are cooking, I'm painting, this is a model from the watercolor society, I call her Texas Cowgirl.

Am finally getting back to center here, this is my latest painting, which is 2'by3' on canvas. I intend to hang this the end of the month at Archway. I am putting a price of $999. It is mixed media, background is all paper.

I am behind in posting my work, the 2 galleries have openings every month, which keeps me busy painting.

This is


"mexican "cowgirl", which won a 1st place ribbon for the mixed media division of the Woodlands Art League show. I could not attend, but understand it was a good show.

I did the "Paint In" at wash yesterday, this was my demo image, much fun was had by all.

this is my most recent seagull, which is heavily collaged, need to frame it to show at Archway.

when I was in Mexico, I had alot of fun shooting photos of the pidgeons. They were everywhere waiting for the next snack. I decided to do a series of 5 small paintings of the pidgeons and call them
Mexican Pidgeons, size 6 x 6" ea.

I am entering this collage into the Watercolor Society's membership show this weekend. It is a collage of one of my favorite models, Gloria.

I am donating this ptg to the Parkinson Society for their auction in November. Their symbol is the tulip and I call this painting "The Heart of a Tulip.

Archway Opening 10_4_08.wmv

Had so much fun at the opening last nite. The artists are wonderful, the art is wonderful and the building is outstanding. We worked so hard. My main piece "Eat More Chicken" was sold the day before to another artist, but it still got alot of attention. Am so very far behind on my work now, but have renewed enthusiasm

I am still struggling to get my mind on my art, these are some of my latest attempts.

Am finally getting back to my art, the hurricane had my mind in such a state I could not concentrate. I feel very fortuneate to have escaped with only tree damage. There are openings coming up at the Dunlavy and West Gray locations of Archway within 2 weeks, and I am trying to catch up.

have been doing alot of work but am behind in my posting. I applied and was accepted into Archway Gallery in downtown Houston, have been busy setting up with them. I had a show in Old Town Spring last Saturday nite and sold "mexico", which I didn't post here, sorry. I also finished my large 24 x 36 on canvas mixed media called "The Charmer", which I will take downtown tomorrow. Other things are work unfinished but working on.
