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!
