Gloria J Zucaro's "Only 25 points!"

8.5"H x 9"W  Pastel on Sanded Paper Framed with glass   
Starting bid $100
This painting is up for auction on the Daily Paintworks site.  Go to "All Artists" and look for my name alphabetically.  You can also find it under the Balance Challenge category.  http://www.dailypaintworks.com/Challenge/28AF0AA5-636B-4840-9E08-F08BE8084FE5

This is my second entry into the Balance Challenge.  I painted it in pastel because I thought it would be easier with all the detail,but it still took more time than I thought!  I learned to play Mahjong about 6 years ago.  I had bought a set on eBay because I loved the floral tiles.  The game had some blank tiles, so I ordered stickers for them to be the joker tiles.  I never learned to play until a friend bought into a retirement village in Florida,learned and came back in the Summer and taught a few of us how to play.

A Brief History of the Beckwith Ranch:




The Beckwith Ranch, established in 1874 by brothers Elton and Edwin Beckwith, was at its peak one of the largest cattle operations in Colorado. Sons of a wealthy shipbuilder from Mount Desert Island, Maine, Elton and Edwin brought cattle from Texas in 1869 for the miners in Colorado with Charles Goodnight, one of the legendary founders of the western cattle industry.

Gloria J Zucaro's "Al Knits On"




12"h X 9"w   Pastel On Sanded Paper
$100.00 plus $10.00 S&H


Last year I went to The Clearing Folk Art School in Ellison Bay Wisconsin for a workshop with Frankie Johnson.  While there our group of painters met the two other groups taking workshops for the week.  One was a group of knitters, and one was a group of printmakers.  Al had come to the Clearing with his wife.  He told us when he had married his wife a few years earlier, he realized she was crazy about knitting and spent 90% of her time reading about it, shopping for it , knitting and taking workshops.  He figured if he wanted to spend much time with his wife he had better learn to participate in her obsession!
