Time to paint again!  

My surgery went well and I am on the mend.  Miranda's surgery was successful.  My new granddaughter and Miranda are going to be fine!  Audrey is very excited to have a new sister arriving in October. The ultrasound showed very long legs, just like her daddy~ After a less than wonderful six months, the six months to come are going to be fabulous!

I am getting all the paint and canvas out and painting again ~ wooohoooo!

Sea of Clouds was completed just before my surgery and the final varnish is going on today~

Sea of Clouds was painted using professional artist grade acrylic paint on a museum quality gallery wrapped canvas. The gallery wrapped sides of the canvas are painted to allow for hanging with or without a frame.

Thank you so much for continuing to follow my work, especially during the hard times when new paintings were rarely posted.

Acrylic Paint on Gallery Wrapped Canvas

~Sold~

Day at the Beach III was painted using professional artist grade acrylic paint on a museum quality gallery wrapped canvas with painted sides to allow for hanging without a frame.  Painting can also be placed on a small easel for display.  I don't often paint with a knife....to me, it is like frosting a cake, and I get hungry~ HA!  I had a commission request for this painting, so I completed an extra one for the online stores.

This painting has sold.

Where have I been!  I am still working on commissions and sneaking in a few fun paintings on the side.   I am having so much trouble with that time management thing......The weather is too nice to stay inside, but there is so much that needs to be done~  the house is a mess, the dogs need a bath, and I bought new hydrangeas that need to be planted....well, tomorrow is another day!

Thanks for stopping by~

I wanted to try a little something different to get out of my painting "funk" lately. I think this worked. Painting with a knife is fun! It was so hot today, I kept thinking of the beach.

Day at the Beach was painted using a knife and professional artist grade acrylic paint on a gallery wrapped canvas with painted sides to allow for display without a frame. Painting was finished with a light coat of varnish.

I haven't decided what to paint tomorrow yet, maybe I will dream something up tonight!
