California Poppies III

http://stores.ebay.com/Torrie-Smiley-Original-Works-of-Art

These paintings will be listed for auction on eBay tonight. I have a small (8" x 10") oil painting of a red wine bottle and wine glass that is half finished. It will be listed soon. I have a ton of cleaning I have neglected to do around the house, so that will keep me busy for a while. Next up will be Low Country watercolors and watercolors of the Tall Ships Festival from Charleston.

The Cheap Joe's Sale was wonderful! That is where I bought the great green oil color that I used on the Bosc Pear Painting. I also picked up a 36" x 60" canvas--it was on sale, I had to---I also had to leave it in Charlotte because it did not fit in the car.....It will be coming home soon.

Well, off to Gaffney. I promised to help Bobbie pick out a rug.

Check back again soon. I am going to update my blog with links to Paypal if you would like to purchase paintings directly from my blog.

Have a wonderful day!

The new cherries series will be listed later today on eBay with a beginning bid of $14.99. They are 5" x 7" on 300 lb Arches watercolor paper.

I have spent the day shopping in Charlotte for fun new art stuff with Miranda. We had a blast. I have never laughed to hard... it started with getting lost; then I bought the biggest canvas 36" x 60"--it did not fit in the car.....Bobbie will be bringing it home from Charlotte later this week in the truck......I could not help myself--the canvas was on sale! I have no clue what will be painted, but it will be big!

The vacation is going great! I am exhausted and ready to go back to work so I can rest. I did not get half done that I wanted to do, but the list did get shorter.

I will be going to Chapel Hill tomorrow to take Courtney back to school. It was nice to have her home. After that, I will have one vacation day left.... to work on the "to do" list.

Well, I am off to the art studio to put away my new treasures.

I am on "VACATION" from the real job until October 23, 2007. Here is my vacation list of things to day...in no certain order.

Clean out the storage shed

Put up summer clothes, get out winter clothes

Cover the attic vents on the roof

Paint the outside of the house....a nice cream color

Clean out the flower beds and trim the hedges

I will have to definitely do the summer/winter clothes thing....but the rest, who knows.
