Tuesday

As you can see, I have finally finished "Gone Hunting". I guess all of this Texas hot weather and humidity has me yearning for cooler weather. I especially loved putting the bright colors on the canvas, and remembering some of my favorite vacations up in the Smokie Mountains of Tennessee.

Monday

Good morning! I spent a good part of my weekend finding,reading, and buying some interesting art books and magazines. I found a great article on how to paint metals; copper,brass, and such. I hope to experiment with the colors recommended by the artist. They even show a small demonstration on how they apply the colors in rings, and then their blending technique. So, I had better get my work done around here and go paint today!
Happy painting everyone, and enjoy a blessed day!

Wednesday

Today, I am making myself  a promise that I will  vacuum and tidy up my studio! I love keeping my home fresh and clean ( just finished cleaning,mopping,etc...smells so good!), but my studio is...well, you should see it.On second thought, maybe not!  Ha! Okay, since I blogged this, I now have to go out there and just do it... after I finish ironing my husband's shirts, finish up that one painting, take a nap, pay the bills... :)

Tuesday

I ran around like crazy today, so I could get my errands over with ( like grocery shopping-ugh) and get to my studio and paint. How time flies when I am painting! I had to rework an area in my autumn painting, over and over, until I felt it was right. Hard work, but I am always learning. Just hope this old mind can remember what I learned the next time that I need it!

Monday

It is another beautiful day to paint! Although, still hot here in southeast Texas, I can almost feel autumn in the air. I am painting a bright autumn scene, with Indian tepees.All of these bright and cheerful colors makes for happy painting :) I hope to post my painting soon. There just aren't enough hours in the day!!!

Friday

I finally got to paint two days in a row! I am working on a fall landscape and my Native American Indian, among several other paintings . I always have at least 5 pieces that I am working on at one time.With oils, as you may already know, it takes time for the lay-in to get "tacky" without making mud. My mind usually has way more than those 5 paintings in it at a time. I am always kidding aroundabout how I'll have to live to be 200 yers old so I can paint everything that I say I am going to paint!
Have a blessed Day.

Note:
Today is the 8th anniversary of my daughter's death. Michelle passed away from ovarian cancer at only 28 years old. If you are a female, and reading this, make sure you go for your regular check-ups with your OB doctor.If you are a male, and reading this, make sure the women in your life go for their regular check-ups. It is always better safe, than sorry.

Tuesday

Well, I finally got online! My computer ( or Internet service) has been acting really crazy lately! I love to get on, check my mail, etc- then get off ASAP because I have so many other things to do- like paint. But, today I have spent a good three hours trying to bring this thing up! Crazy day! Gotta go paint. I am still working on  one of my Native American Indian portrait studies.
Have a blessed Tuesday!

Wednesday

Another beautiful day today! Thanking God the latest tropical storm isn't coming our way, so more time to paint with all of the sunshine coming in through my two walls of windows!
Happy painting everyone!

Monday

Good morning. What a beautiful sunny day to enjoy! I did get a little painting in this weekend. I hope to get out to my studio and paint some more this afternoon. I am working on another American Indian portrait.

Thursday

Just a few chores to catch up on around here, then I am off to my studio to paint,paint,paint!!!
Have a blessed, prosperous, and creative day, everyone (:

Wednesday

I just got back from hanging my first "One Woman Show" at our local coffee shop! I am excited to show my work at different places, as one never knows who will love your work. While hanging my pieces, I got several compliments on my various genres of work, people asking for prices, and my blog site. It feels great, and there aren't too many other highs like someone loving your art!

Monday

I am back on, trying to download some pics of my paintings and (hopefully) make my Blog more interesting! You really can teach an old dog new tricks... :)

Chief Wantabee is my newest painting in oils. I took liberties with a photograph I shot (years ago) of my son,Nathan,who loved to dress up in his American Indian headdress. I really enjoy painting from photos if I can use my artistic license to create from them what I really want to see!

All of my paintings are for sell. I am also taking commisions.
