"Hummingbird at Morning Glory" Oil by Charlotte Yealey


Hummingbird at Morning Glory
Oil
8x10
I am not sure what species this hummingbird is since I used a reference photo from Flicker for this painting. I usually use my own photos but I need quite a few bird paintings for a show and my photos of hummingbirds are limited to one species that comes to my feeder.

"My Dad" Colored Pencil by Charlotte Yealey


My Dad
Colored Pencil
9x11
This is my dad relaxing in his hammock after a long hard day of work. The empty chair is where my mom would sit. I used a photo of my dad from 1971 for this painting and I planned to give it to him on his birthday on June 7th. He passed on May 12 so in his memory, I finished the painting. My mom passed in 2002. I miss them both immensely.

"Why I Love Dogs" Children Book by Charlotte Yealey

Announcing my first children book "Why I Love Dogs" which includes a reproduction of my
dog paintings on every page. Being a therapy dog handler of my four dogs, I had an idea to
create this book for the second grade students that read to my dogs during reading buddies therapy at a local school. This book can be purchased for your child at
