"Early Morning"

By: Mary C. Aikens, Artist

     It was either in 1992 or 1993 when I remembered seeing this scenery when George (my husband) and I were traveling in the eastern part of Tennessee.  We were immensely enjoying our vacation and were ready to travel back to Mobile, Alabama where we were then lived during that time.  Both George and I loved (and still love) traveling to the mountainous areas and towns.  Plus, we also loved (and still love) looking at log cabins and hopefully dream of living in one  located by the lake within several years soon.

"Double Dipper"



"Double Dipper"

By: Mary C. Aikens, Artist

     Whenever I see a "Double Dipper" type of ice cream cone, I usually think about two things when I want to order one of these types of cones.  On "one occasion" is that I would want to eat ice cream so badly that I want to consume various flavors, and the "other occasion" is for me to share it with my husband while enjoying ourselves during our "out on the town" event.  In this painting, I decided to choose the "other occasion" because I want to show about how it is fun to share a special occasion of eating ice cream together as a treat - especially when it comes with using a "double dipper" cone.  Oh by the way and before I forget, those two flavors are "Deeply Chocolate" and "Vanilla With Almond Crunch".

"Amusing Cups"

"Amusing Cups"

By: Mary C. Aikens, Artist


     Here is a throwback moment that I want to take you back sometimes around fifteen to twenty years ago when I painted this whimsical painting called "Amusing Cups".   I was (and still am) so much into the scenes of amusement rides and parks.  This picture reminds me of one of my most favorite rides - cup rides, and what is one song that I remember hearing during this particular song while I wars hearing while riding in one of those cups was "Never My Love" by The Association.  For some reason, I thought what an appropriate match - that song and riding in one of the cup rides during the same time.   When I was painting this part of my memory, I started singing "Never My Love".

"Artichokes: Section & Whole"



"Artichokes: Section & Whole"

By: Mary C. Aikens, Artist

     For some time, I thought that the sound of that vegetable's name "Artichokes" will not have a good sound.  It is because of the word, "choke" and "hearts" sounded rather scary or unappetizing. It was until I had a chicken and rice casserole that included chopped artichoke hearts in its recipe.  Yum Yum! Those artichoke hearts do add pop in that and other casseroles.  At one time, I did buy some fresh artichokes that were on a reduced sale, however; I did not do so well with them.  It will be later when I will try them again.  Whenever I buy artichoke hearts in a jar, I would normally call that a "splurge"

"Driving That Titleist"

By: Mary C. Aikens, Artist


     There is something about golf  that fascinates me. It is mainly because it is known as a game where many men (and women) go out there to socialize, network, and simply have an enjoyable time with each other while taking their turns putting that little dimpled ball around the course.  Plus, that little dimpled ball constantly gets knocked around in order to wind up in each hole for those rounds.  
     
      Speaking of  driving a golf ball, I once saw a bumper sticker on a car that said, "I much rather drive a Titleist".  Yes, it got my attention because I never heard of a car named a Titleist.  It was actually a golfing term meaning "driving" while teeing off the first ball for each hole.  Plus, Titleist is one of the top and very expensive brands of golf equipment (drivers and putters), balls, and etc...
