Poppies by the Sea

Poppies by the Sea 8 x 10 Acrylic on Canvas

Poppies by the Sea is the newest painting from the easel. It will be listed for auction this evening on Ebay. I am working on a western painting...don't know if I like it yet. I will let you know. I have to spend the day in the yard. Fallen leaves are taking over. Stella (my dog) is convinced the leaves are chasing her. I will be in at dark-thirty, which today will be pretty early.

Bye for now,

New Pears, End of 2006 Series

Pears of Color II

The flu really took a toll, but I am up and painting again. These last series of pear paintings marks the end of the 2006 Pear Series. I love painting pears but I have several commissions and other pieces that need to be done before Christmas. Next on the agenda is Roosters and a Wine Series of pretty wine bottles.

The new Pear Series will be listed on Ebay beginning Sunday, October 22, 2006.

Thanks for stopping by.

Pears of Color - New

Pears of Color

New Painting to be listed on Ebay. I am trying to get back into my routine after struggling all week with the flu. It is never a convenient time to be under the weather, but I am too busy to "rest". The weather is beautiful, the fair is in town, the hedges need to be trimmed, and the porch needs to be painted -- and there are pictures in my head that need to go on canvas before they disappear deep into the gray matter. I hope you enjoy the new painting. There will be more to come!

Thanks for stopping by.
