SOLD

It’s Wednesday and time for another 1 $ deal! On Wednesday’s during the summer I try to post an older painting that has been hanging around my house. This is painting number 34.

We just returned from our annual family vacation in Colorado. I had a great time seeing my brother and sister; nieces and nephews; and mom and dad. Can't wait for next year! Now it's time to unpack and get paintings ready to ship...Thank you!

A bittersweet start to painting. There's always that first painting after you have taken a break. The paintings that I dub "not so good" usually end up growing on me. AND they usually sell. I kid you not! I'm always very surprised. So, it just goes to show you that you are your own worse critic.

I've also decided that I'm just going to be painting Monday - Friday. I think I need to let myself take some breaks.

AND my exciting thought is...more torn collage paintings!
AND how about a COLLAGE - ALONG very soon!

Today I nailed my painting! I am doing the happy painter dance...:) On August 27, last year I painted my very first still life. As you can see, I have improved! Amazing what a year can do!

In other news I'm anxiously awaiting my new scanner. I'm very excited to be offering prints in my etsy shop SOON!!

Now I must go run some errands...ta-ta!

I was going to keep going with the asparagus, but it just wasn't working so I switched to a lemon. Many emotions were experienced painting today. There was a point when I was just about to walk away from it all. I just kept painting and I do like how it turned out today.

Can you believe it's Friday? I can't! I hope you have a lovely weekend! I'm having a girls night out tonight with my friends Anne and Melanie (Melanie doesn't have a blog)! Fun!!
