6" x 6" acrylic on canvas panel

Just time for "one" today!

I've been busy moving into my new studio. I spent the day deciding where my easel should go and where the computer should go. I had to try every angle and every corner, but I think I found just the right place for both. Next I'll be going through my storage cabinets and getting them ready to move upstairs. AND I just noticed that I'm missing my "Keep Calm Carry On" poster. So, I'm trying to "Keep Calm" and find it!

Thanks for stopping by today!

CENTER STAGE

6" x 6" acrylic on canvas board

Here we are at day 3! Today our "model", the gorgeous gourde, is center stage on my favorite cake stand. I think the composition on this one needs a little more work. What do you think? There's something I don't like about it being so centered!!

speaking of center stage...

The roller derby was lots of fun! Just a quick picture of my sister in law, Stephanie, in roller derby action. We traveled to Sioux Falls, South Dakota, to see her. It was a fun spur of the moment road trip.

s t u d i o !!

Yes! Tomorrow I will be moving into my studio!

acrylic on canvas panel

Two friends just catching up on what's been going on.

The colors are so fall in this painting! What has been most challenging about painting these gourdes is the stem. The stem kind of freaks me out!

I have been tinting my canvas a dark purple, can you tell?

I'll be going to my first roller derby event this evening! I'll have to tell you more about it tomorrow. Hope you're having a great weekend!

“Sun Bathers"

8″h x 8"w

oil on paper

Maybe it's all the sun I got today, but it looks to me like these purple asparagus are stretched out catching some rays.

I really like painting in the 8 x 8 inch size. It's a challenge for me to paint small and 6 inch square seems a little too small sometimes. Maybe I'll move up a few inches when I have to order panels again.

Maybe you have noticed, but if not, I have added 2 pages to my blog. The links are at the top. One is a link to what I have for sale on ebay and the other is what I have for sale on etsy.

Thank you for stopping by today!

“Purple Asparagus"

5″h x 7"w

oil on Ampsersand clayboard

I ran out of my usual hardboard with a few coats of gesso and so I painted on what was around the house. Which was Ampersand clayboard. My paints were not moving at all. It didn't matter how much thinner I used, they just weren't moving!

I'll have to find something different for tomorrows painting while I wait for my new panels to come in.
