Lots going on here

 Whats on my large easel this week

 I'm always drawn to the trees

 so is Chunk

 trying to figure out where to go next with this one

 These are 2 canvases 6X12 

my god daughter did one side and I did the other 

she took one home and I kept the other

Granny was out yesterday and we played around with backgrounds all day

 

 The top 3 are mine and the bottom 1 is Grannys

Have a great day!

My other pallet

 I love this photo I took of myself this weekend  

Thank you Granny for my lovely parasol 

My newest and smallest flowerbed...like we needed another!

 I think the color of these four o'clocks remind me of my own flowers

I love that!

The lady in the garden is a gift from my friend Suzanne

for being with her in VT while her father passed

I love her 

I hope your day goes well

I'm off to paint and see what today brings

Photos from the fest 2012

Photos taken this weekend

I know it must be overwhelming for some people to walk into my tent 

but gosh I love it!

 Now I'm trying to fit it all back it the house 

but there are several that didn't make it back home 

I know they need to go out into the world 

but we spent time together through many thoughts

 Two lovely ladies and a baby 

I really enjoyed this sale 

This weekend I realized 

when you see one of these paintings and are moved in some way by it 

then you always will be moved by it

 I love that people are drawn to the colors, the movement 

I especially enjoyed all the conversations I had with people

Thank you everyone that come by

Its funny how a canvas can go about.

as soon as I started painting this red and orange flower, I knew it wouldn't work, but it felt so good to spread that red and orange onto the canvas with a big brush  :  )

I can accept when something isnt working and unfortunately that flower wasnt working

so I went at it with covering it up

cover up what isnt working is my motoe

I started to see a tree and went with it

I made a mix of my brown

 The background is kind of rich with color and the brown was not working!

 So I went to gold and I love it!

 Hope to have it finished by morning so I can start my week off preparing for this Saturdays fest in Glenwood!

Hope your weekend was a good one

The things I've been doing

I havent painted a curly tree in well over a year

 I'm not fond of the background colors...but thats ok 

I'll finish it up before The Glenwood Fest

August 18

 Some canvases can be difficult to work on because of their size and shape 

like this one below

 plus I just finished the tree and because I had the house alone, I pushed it

 Hated it the next day and decided to paint another tree 

 This is just a sketch

At this point, its about 90% finished and will photo it later

 A 20x20 flower ... still working on the left side of this one

 A huge sky painting 

but no inspiration yet as to what will go on that canvas

Have a great day
