Well here she is, Josie having tea, all finished. I know her name because her grandma and I watch a paint-cast on ustream in which this painting was discussed. When she saw it, she said “OMiGosh, that’s my granddaughter Josie!” I’m always amazed at what a small world it is, lol. I am very happy with it now, which [...]

“Tea Time” 8 x 8 oil on masonite And that is the latest painting to drive me crazy. And it’s not an unusual problem, it’s happened to me before with two attempts to paint very pale pink roses. I couldn’t get the color correct. Value was right, but the color was all wrong, and [...]

I have a painting on the easel at the moment, but I’m not feeling it. I ignored it today as punishment, grabbed my trusty camera, and headed to the garden. At least I know I can still do something right, lol. I also took some great photos of a tree frog. I do love my [...]

She’s almost 11 yrs old but still bounces around like a puppy, lol. I’ve never seen anything like it in my life, she truly is a marvel of pure [...]

I had intended to write this two days ago, but I just can’t seem to stop painting long enough! It’s just as well though, as my photo of my cupcake was stinkin up the joint and needed to be retaken. TONS of glare, I tell ya, lol. I was so glad for the cupcake reference provided [...]

Other than that, I’m at a loss as to what to name this painting, lol. If you have an idea, feel free to make suggestions. I got nothin. To get the fence to “read” right without getting too nit-picky was a real challenge. Not to mention the fact that goats have uber creepy eyes and I [...]
