"Blacksmith" Charcoal Drawing by Arizona Artist Mary Opat
"Blacksmith" Charcoal Drawing by
Arizona Artist Mary Opat
14" x 18" Charcoal and Conte` on Paper
This drawing is with the framer and will be entered in the
annual Gilbert Visual Art League Juried Show and Sale. We spent a great deal
of time picking out the three mat colors and just the right frames for "Blacksmith
and "A Moment for Thanks". It will be fun to see the finished products in
a couple of weeks. These last two drawings
have been enjoyable and I've decided to do more. My oil paintings are are
original and aren't available in print, but I've decided to make
my future drawings available in print form through Fine Art America.
Stay tuned for more figurative and animal drawings!

"Old Red" Contemporary Still Life Oil Painting by Arizona Artist Mary Opat
"Old Red" Contemporary Still Life Oil Painting by
Arizona Artist Mary Opat
8" x 10" Oil on Canvas
This old pickup has done it's job and now holds beautiful
flowers on a farm in Northeast Iowa. It's a little beat up and has
flat tires, but is still a reminder of goods times for the lucky land owners.

"Tehya Aleshanee" Oil Portrait of a Child by Arizona Artist Mary Opat
"Tehya Aleshanee" Oil Portrait of a Child by
Arizona Artist Mary Opat
11" x 14" Oil on Stretched Canvas
Tehya (Precious) Alashanee (She who plays) is the descendant of
a Choctaw chief. This photo was provided by her grandmother and was
taken several years ago. Teyha is a beautiful 11 year old girl now. My
intention was to paint a companion piece to "Their Legacy". When
my neighbor saw the finished painting, she asked to buy it. It feels good to
know the painting will be appreciated. I feel blessed to have good friends
who appreciate my art!
