I am back~

The unexpected break was caused by the cold/bronchitis thing that has lasted forever! Trying to be creative when you can't breathe doesn't work. I am back to painting and the list remains the same with some new paintings added. I am working on the rooster painting. The large emu painting is in progress, and I will be participating in the toaster challenge at Daily Paintworks~

Also, I will be slipping in time to spend with family and the turkey thing....wish me luck!

Coming up next, I have gone to the birds! I am in the middle of finishing a large (18" x 24") emu painting. This is a revisit to the bird I use as my logo. Also coming up is a rooster painting (8" x 10") and my all time favorite bird, a new pink flamingo painting also in 8" x 10"

Hopefully, these will be finished by the coming week.

The Rooster III 6" x 6" Oil on Canvas Panel

The Rooster III

6" x 6"

Oil on Canvas Panel

I was supposed to be painting the Jefferson Memorial and I got side tracked. It was a long day at the real job yesterday and I did not feel like working on a painting with so many straight lines! Painting a rooster was much more fun. So, here is The Rooster III, available for purchase in my Etsy.com store and in my EBSQart.com gallery.

The girls are making me cook tonight! Well, after that, maybe I'll paint!

Thanks for stopping by~

The Rooster II, New painting available!

The Rooster II

12" x 12" Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas

~SOLD~

This is the newest Rooster painting available for purchase at my EBSQart.com gallery or in my Etsy.com Store. I have really enjoyed getting back to painting roosters. It was a pleasant break from the weekly painting challenge.

Miranda and I are currently recovering from all the "Fair Food"--caramel apples, funnel cakes, vinegar fries (I did not eat those.....or the fried pickles). The roasted corn looked really good....but I had the Bar-B-Q, onion blossom, and peach cobbler-with ice cream, whip cream, and pecans. Good thing the county fair is just once a year.

Miranda brought home another fish that she won throwing balls in a fish bowel. I am sending it to live with Courtney in Chapel Hill with her fish Gil and Gabby. Sebastian, the goldfish the girls won at the fair six years ago does not want company, so Midas is currently living in a travel tank. I did not know that fed well and given a clean tank to live in, a goldfish can live thirteen to fifteen years! Sebastian, the county fair fish from six years ago is currently in a 20 gallon $250.00 tank set up living like a king!

I will be attempting paintings from the reference photos that we took at the Fair. Maybe small watercolors at first. I will let you know.

Next up!

I am going to finish the pear painting and then I better clean house and do laundry. It will be time to get back to the real world for a while.

Check in with you later.....

The Rooster ~~ New Painting!

The Rooster

8" x 10" Acrylic on Gallery Wrapped Canvas

~SOLD~

Just off the easel! I have finished the first rooster painting. It is available for purchase at my EBSQart.com gallery and at the Etsy.com Store I have another rooster started on the easel. It is 12" x 12" and will be different colors. It should be finished some time next week.

I have also started the small pear painting. It is red pears in a bowl with a gray-green background, 8" x 10".

The Lily pond painting is next. It is 16" x 20".

I will be away at Chapel Hill Monday and Tuesday to see Courtney. She has an echocardiogram scheduled and I am going to hold her hand......I really think it is the other way around. She will be holding mine! She is handling all of this much better than I am.

I will check back in when I get back! Hopefully, I will be able to find gas for the trip!

The White Pear

The White Pear

6" x 6" Acrylic on Gallery Wrapped Canvas

***SOLD***

I painted all day yesterday.....but it does not count. It was my fence. My sister was so nice to come and help me put in a new gate. This one is the new plastic fencing that I don't have to paint and it does not weight a ton. I painted the fence surrounding the new gate and Bobbie built the gate. The gate is 11 feet wide and the old wooden gate was falling apart and to heavy for an "old lady" like me to open and close. Stella and Sadie are not too sure about the new gate. It is much shorter, much like a picket fence gate. They can clearly view the entire neighborhood and bark at all the neighbors. It must be intimidating to them to feel that they have so much more area to patrol!

I did have time this week to finish my new little pear painting, The White Pear. It is currently available for purchase in all the same places.

I will be painting today. Stop back by again soon to see the finished Rooster painting.

See you again soon.
