I am in Website Hell!

NO WEBSITE FOR ME!

www.torriesmiley.com

Currently working with IPower.com to fix problems with their website hosting upgrade in order to get my website correctly published. I have been working on this all week. I miss painting! Hopefully, I will still know how to paint by the time I get through with IPower.

The links on the new website work and it is currently online. Take a look, get a laugh, hopefully things will be repaired soon.

I plan on staying in the studio and off the computer as soon as the upgrade is complete.

Being selected "Art of the Day" has been fun. I have not gotten much done, other than answer E-mails, but it has been great!

I am currently working on a new martini painting. After that, who knows, I still need to finish Big Bird 2008, and there is always more pears that need to be painted.

Right now, I think I will just finish the laundry.

Thanks for stopping by,

EBSQ - - Art of the Day!

Art of the Day!!

Lemons and Red Bowl
8" x 10" Acrylic on Canvas
SOLD

I am so excited and honored to have been selected as "Art of the Day" at EBSQart.com. This was part of the series of Lemon paintings I did around Christmas. They have been such a big hit, I will be painting more in the near future.

I have two new paintings finished and ready to put online, but the weather has not been good enough to get good quality pictures. I take pictures of my paintings outside in natural light. Hopefully, I will be able to do that tomorrow. The snow has stopped, but it will be 20-30 degrees and I don't know if my camera will be happy with that. One painting is a new version of Green Apple Martini---16" x 20", and a new 6" x 6" Pear painting (this time a golden yellow pear and red wine grapes.

Well, I had better get busy. So much to do.

Check out the "Art of the Day"--- http://www.ebsqart.com/ I get to be famous for the day!

Back by very popular demand. Lemons with Blue Bowl sold very quickly and many did not have a chance to purchase. I have painted Lemons with Blue Bowl II and it is currently on auction at eBay.com--The link is above.

Thanks to everyone who has sent notes regarding this series of lemon paintings.

I am trying to get back into the groove now that the Holidays are over. Up next! Pears with Red Bowl. I will be working on it tonight after I feed everyone Pork chops and Black-eyed-peas for the New Year.

Happy New Year to everyone.
