Back to Work

It's back to work time!


I didn't get to have the summer off this year. No, I haven't been painting canvases, I have been painting walls, and ceilings and railings and so many things. For the past five months, I have gotten up and put on my worst clothes and have been covered in drywall dust or paint by ten am each day. My husband and I have been doing the final fix up of our house to get it ready to sell. Which I really cannot believe we accomplished in just five months. To say the list was long...

I am sooooo delighted to say that our stint of endless reno work has come to an end. So that means I can get back to this work, which is so much more fun.


Before the renovations I was working on this piece, which is where I think I'll start up again.
Better than drywalling!

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.
