Now a short explanation of where the heck I have been and what happened this past week:

I am a huge fan of EBSQart.com and that is where I maintain a gallery, but more than that, they have really cool templates and image hosting that I use to maintain all the blogs and websites. The stat counters at the site help me keep up with all that I have floating out in the Internet. Well, it was time for a site upgrade which is always tricky. That, on top of the fact I do not accept change well and have no patience, has made for a very long week. It's not the change thing that gets me as much as the learning curve that comes with a site upgrade--learning how to do things a different way.....(in a nutshell, I am getting old and set in my ways). HA! EBSQart is still working on problems. I can't upload new paintings to the site as of yet, but tomorrow is another day. I will do the best I can with what is working so far.

Now, what you might have missed~

This pear painting in the Chronicles Series sold in the downtime. I am sorry it did not make the blog before it sold. For those of you who want to get a sneak peek before paintings make it to the blog and stores, the paintings are first posted on my Facebook Fan Page. The first place I list my paintings for sale is my Etsy.com store. The Etsy site is just convenient and easy to use, so I post there first, then EBSQart, then my website and on from there.

The following paintings were donated:

Well, that about does it for now. I will be posting my painting that I won from Angela Sullivan. I framed it this week and it is now on the end table in my living room.

Have you ever had one of those days where you would have gotten more accomplished staying in bed that what was done today... well it has been one of those days. For those of you that follow my work on EBSQart.com, the site is currently undergoing an upgrade and it is hit or miss if you can view the galleries there. Give it just a bit more time and the site should be fabulous.

I am continuing with the small pear series, it is too much fun to stop now. I lingered in the pears at the local grocery store until I looked like a stalker (of pears). There were so many different varieties. This is really going to be fun.

Well, I had better get busy, there is still much to do before I call it a day~

Thanks for stopping by,

I won!

Cherry Drift

by

Angela Sullivan

I am thrilled beyond words~

Angela Sullivan, a fabulous artist, chooses someone from her list of followers once a month to win one of her paintings. This month I was selected to receive one of her beautiful paintings. I could pick from any of her small paintings on her blog. This was impossible. I chose four! I told her to make the final selection of what she like best from the four I had selected. She will be sending me Cherry Drift. I am so happy! I can't wait. I am going to frame it and put it in my office/studio to enjoy everyday.

Thank you so much Angela, I will enjoy your painting for years to come~

Visit Angela's blog. You will love her work!

This is the second painting in my small pear painting adventure. I used bright green colors in this pear in a more impressionistic style. I am really enjoying this series. There is so much to do with this series, from realism to abstract, and from Bosc to Bartlett and Anjou.

There are more small pear paintings to come. Tomorrow, I will be posting Pear Chronicles 003 (a bright yellow pear on red) and Pear Chronicles 004 (a gold pear with multicolored background).

I have started a new series of small pear paintings. I think I will call them "The Pear Chronicles" and then give them a number. Coming up with different titles would be too hard~ There will be at least 20 of the small pear paintings....more if I continue having fun. This is the first pear in the series, 001~

The Pear Chronicles 001 was painted using professional artist grade acrylic paint on a gallery wrapped museum quality canvas with painted sides to allow for hanging without a frame. Painting was finished with a light coat of varnish.

So far in the Pear Series, paintings in progress and near completion are a green pear, a gold pear, a multicolored pear, and a gold pear with a multicolored background. Next to be posted is 002 in the series, a green pear.

I will be working on larger commissioned pieces for the upcoming holidays in between the small pear paintings. I will post pictures of these paintings as they are completed so you can see what else I am up to.

Happy November and have a wonderful day~
