Day 1

Well, here is my first attempt. For me to work this fast is a REAL challenge. I will probably go back and tweak it some more in the future.

I'll try another tomorrow.

A Challenge

Well, I am going to try something new this month and hope I can keep up with it. I know it will be good for me and definitely a challenge as I don't go to my studio every day. I have already started by collecting pictures of birds, not sure I'll have 30 but it is a start anyway, may move on to family after that.
This is a project by Leslie Saeta. Lots of people signed up so far.
I think I am going to start with this one when I go to my studio tomorrow.

A tree

We decided to get a small tree this year as the other one was just so combersome to haul in from the barn and set up. Not spring chickens anymore....Anyway we now have a 4 1/2 foot tree that sits nicely on our coffee table and is easy ro put up and take down. I finally succumbed to an artificial tree about 10 years ago when the real trees dropped needles almost before we took them into the house.

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a joyous holiday season.

Old and new?

I have been busy the past month getting our new gallery together and also getting ready for our Open Studio event . While cleaning out our storage room, I came across these pen and ink drawings that I did a while ago, so I thought I would mat them up and put them in my bin.

I also found an oil pastel that I had started as a demo, not sure where, but thought I would finish it and put it in my bin. I still have a little more tweaking to do on it, but it is almost finished.

Art in Bloom

My painting "Litekist" that is in the Plymouth Guid annual juried show was chosen as one of the paintings to be interpreted with a floral display by a member of the Plymouth Garden Club. The show was beautiful and the floral interpretations were excellent.

Exhibit

My painting of the orange slices "Litekist" was accepted into this show.

More on a mirror

Here is another painting of apples on a mirror. Oil pastel 12" x 12" on encausticbord. These images of fruit on a mirror are interesting and fun to do. May do a watermelon next.
