Monday

I have been super busy during the holidays, so I haven't been able to post in a while. Our youngest son had a quick job transfer- 3 states over- so we left to go help him out, and just got in late last night after being gone for 10 days. We had a wonderful, white Christmas (which doesn't happen to often to folks from south LA and south TX), and were blessed to have a great house and cat sitter family while we were away; so it was an extra special time for us. Somehow we got to visit a lot of our family members, and still make it back to TX before New Year's Day! I love traveling, but there is no place like home! Oh, BTW, I painted up until the day before we left. I have started a huge lion painting in oils, and was also working on a few other pieces, Hopefully I'll get out there and finish them soon so I can post the newest stuff. But, I just found out one of the grand-girls is on her way to see us tomorrow, so I may have to hold off on the painting a few more days!!!
Blessings and Happy New Year to all,
Sandra

Monday

What a beautiful day. Nothing close to being wintery around here; as our temperture is back up in the upper 70's and holding! Although, it was a little cloudy, and a sprinkle came along earlier, the sun popped out again for me to paint in my patio/studio.I finished my cute flamingo. I hope you'll like him (or her). I painted it in oils from a photo that I took a few years back at Moody Gardens in Galveston,TX. Stretched linen canvas, 8" X 8", painted on sides so it can be framed or unframed. $75.00

Wednesday

Well, another week has past. Actually, can you believe nearly another month has flown by!
I have been painting, although not as often as I'd like. I am actually working on three small paintings, and touching up a few of my older ones. Also, my dear husband helped me to reorganize my studio. I got two new shelves and some much needed containers for my art books and magazines. I love my "new" space. It really seems to be so much larger!!! :)
Happy Thanksgiving to all and Happy Painting!

Wow! It is Wednesday,again! Where did this week fly to is beyond me. We are having beautiful days here, and you would think I'd be spending them painting, but instead I have been going through art magazines and art books that I recently purchased from an estate sell of a local artist here. I took several lessons from this sweet lady, who passed away last year. She was an amazing portrait painter, and I am thrilled to now own some of the books from her huge collection.I keep telling myself I am going to stop and go to my studio and paint, but I keep finding great information and can't seem to put the books down! All of this is part of being an artist, so I might as well "chill out" and enjoy the learning experiences without freaking because I am not holding a brush everyday! Still, those empty canvases are calling my name...
Blessings and happy painting to my fellow artist,
Sandra

Wednesday

Good morning! I just posted my newest creation,"Has Anyone Seen My Master?". I just adore him, don't you? His eyes are saying that he is heartbroken, and can't find his master! Is he lost, or did his master abandon him for a few days on a vacation where dogs aren't allowed.

Blessings and happy painting,
Sandra
