Gloria's Customized Paintings

This painting is one of my favorites I've ever done. it was commissioned by my uncle and the canvas is 20-30. It took a very long time and the words on it are from Revelations 22:2.

This was my entry for a christmas card contest for my 4-H club. Mine won, along with 4 others. Each winner won $100! To order cards, click here . 

A birthday present for my friend who loves owls.   I decorated the youth chalk board at church for the promotion party for the 6th graders going into youth. A birthday present for my dad, who loves to take me fishing. 

 The winning pieces of the 2019 Treasures of the Texas Coast Art contest were displayed at the Texas State Capital building in Austin for a week in May. My family went to visit!  Here are all the other paintings that will be in the calendar as well.

 The Nueces Delta Preserve had its first annual Art on the Trails June 2019. Many artist came and created while families walked around and watched. There was fabric art, found things shadow boxes, leaf pressings and other painters.  My work in progress. I love nature so it was great to combine that with my love of art.

 This is the finished piece. It says, " He finished his mission...but we still have ours." The sermon was about what our mission is, sharing the good news of Jesus with the whole world.  I started with a black canvas but painted part of it white at home. Half way done. It took me both services to finishing the painting.

I entered the Endangered species contest. I drew an ocelot and talked about how important it is to save its habitat. I like that we both live in South Texas. You can see the winning art here. I entered the Art in STEAM contest at the South Texas Museum of Art . While I didn't place with my painting, Lydia got 3rd in photography for her age.   Every year Google has students enter into their Google Doodle contest. This year's theme was my hope for the future. I hope that all people will live in peace and love together. I didn't really put much effort in this one because it was a last minute piece. But next year, we learned to do the art on their entry form instead of trying to take a picture.
