Hilton Head Gang wreaks havoc!


On 30 October, 2011 disaster struck the tiny island of Hilton Head South Carolina.  21 Notorious characters descended upon Hilton Head and went wild shooting everything in sight.  
The purpose of this challenge is to reveal the identities of the Hilton Head Gang by painting their portraits.  The first mug to be painted will be the leader of this notorious gang - Karin “Quickdraw” Jurick.  Karin can visit a beach and shoot everyone in sight before they even know she is there.  Her covert activity is known worldwide.   

If you see Karin or any member of this gang remember...they are armed and dangerous.  You may end up in a painting.

Each week another member will be featured until all members are accounted for.

For more information you can check Karin Jurick's blog or Linda Popple's blog.

    Superb! - love the way the background color is reflected on Karin's skin.
    Isn't it great to see the HHG produce those mug paintings? As 'Quickdraw' would say: paint on!

    That workshop sounds like so dang much fun! I found you through Karin, then Linda and I'm glad I did. Your work is beautiful (I love the painting of Karin!) and that is such a sweet photo of you and your grandchild at the top.

    Can't wait to see what the HHG gets up to next. :)

    thanks Crystal! I should post the next member on Monday with her "story" We are all pretty notorious. If you haven't taken Karin's workshop I highly recommend it...such fun.

    And Thanks for the compliments...I will be smiling the rest of the week!
