Oh to be a kid again, playing outside. Those were good times, lol. I logged in many hours doing just that. And with my hat on no less! This was a painting that I just wasn’t sure about until the very end, when it sort of emerged from the murk, and came alive, lol. Love [...]

A little kitty that was up for adoption in my city. I hope the poor thing got a home…. Besides the cat, I’ve been up to absolutely no good, lol. I painted a sad, wrinkly little pepper that I grew (twice) and a tomato (also twice!). I was being entirely too picky according to a source close [...]

And not a moment too soon either. Yikes! As someone who likes to paint loosely from the end of my brush handle, painting on such a small scale is tedious. For me anyway. I find I have no choice but to choke up on really small brushes while my arm is balancing on something. There [...]

OK, here’s today’s effort. For the moment I will reserve judgement on the windows, except for the observation that the windowsill is crooked, (yes I see it, lol). It will be first on the list to fix tomorrow, along with some off values scattered throughout the painting. Can’t wait!

Well, this is my current painting that I started today, so I thought I’d let you in on my progress. Which is harder than you might think, since there is so much undone (and wrong, lol), but I’m feeling brave so here goes. “Sherry” 6 x 10 oil on canvas

Here is a painting that I wanted to finish yesterday, but instead finished this evening. Oh well, painting isn’t the only thing I do, I also have a life- more specifically, a splendid courtyard garden that wanted it’s mommy, lol. So I’ve spent the better part of the last two days making it shine, just [...]

I painted George’s sister Sophia today and I love it. As my husband said “It looks just like Sophie”! The story with her, is that I was only given permission for one cat. But she was so cute playing in my flower garden, that I begged my husband to please, please, pleeeease let my have [...]
