Icy Interruption

For the past few days we've had some interesting weather. 
It warmed up to the point where the hats and gloves came off and then it rained, and then gusts of cold air froze that. It then rained on that and then froze again or during. At the same time? Is that possible? Some people are calling it a ice storm but there wasn't a storm, it was rain. We had an ice rain?
Whatever you would call it, it made some pretty ice sculptures.


As pretty as it is, it's pretty slick underfoot. 


It's supposed to warm up and melt it all. I hope everyone else is having better weather. 
Keep wishing for an early spring. I am.

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

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!  

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.
