September is here...

I love September, and not just because it's when my birthday is. It's when beginnings happen (start of school, college, university), you get new stuff (school supplies!!! Nothing better - in my case it came in a big box from art supplier) and the cooler weather makes me more productive.

I have a few more pieces still left from the summer group but then it's on to other things. Landscapes, animal drawings (back my popular and almost hostile demand by many) and I'm still continuing with smaller floral pieces. It's going to be challenging as I haven't painted landscapes for a few years, but I have a large amount of my photos piling up. I can only hope it all turns out well.

Finally finished from the summer pile up.

Audiobooks and Art

I know many artists like to listen to music while they paint but I like to listen to audiobooks. I borrow from the library and its usually great but today I was three quarters through when it expired on me (my fault). When I went back in to borrow it, I had to place a hold. So I'll have to wait a week to find out what happened. Blue Hydrangea 096 oil on canvas board 8" by 8" Click to Buy Whenever I look at a painting I can always remember what book I was listening to. In some ways I self title them that way. This one will always be split into two but I got it finished anyway. Not to advertise but I realize if I don't say it's a cliff hanger - Sara Gruen - At the Water's Edge (interrupted- don't tell me how it ends) Sara Gruen - Water For Elephants

Painted Daisies

Last Monday I started this painting (I finished it Friday) I had intended to do a serious still life with dark shadows and depth but the daisies were too happy. It became another painting about colour. I guess I've been in a good mood because they've all turned out like it this week. Perhaps, not a bad thing.

Hydrangeas

It's that time of year! Hydrangeas have bloomed. Sunflowers have bloomed. If you want them all year round, here's the best way to keep them! All are still available!
