I began my day with some value sketching in the morning and decided to finish up this pitcher painting that I had started last year, in the afternoon.  I have a little pile of 6"x 6" aquabord paintings that need finishing.  1 down and bunch more to go.  :)

Thank you for stopping by . . . have a lovely day.

I struggled with this one (just like the last one) . . . but managed to finish it up just before I headed off for dinner with my husband's brother, sister-in-law and two nephews for a fun evening.  Those little boys crack me up.  One of them had me scratching his ears like dog, to which he responded:  "aaaah, that's the spot."  Ha!

I'm back now -- uploading my images and ready for bed.  Thank you for visiting.

Another short post today as I've been trying to keep up with my painting and gardening. The painting is going well . . . my gardens . . . ummmm . . . let's just say, they're getting there.  :) The image below is of a "virtual frame" just to illustrate what this painting could look like framed. This painting seems to appeal to my "early American/antiquing" friends. (notice I didn't say "antique friends!)  :)  Hope you like it as well.

I'm off to bed now. Thank you for stopping by.

I'm hooked on watching/listening to Turner Classic Movies while I paint.  It's Rock Hudson month and tonight Pillow Talk is on - Rock and Doris Day -- my favorite!!  So excuse me if this is a brief post, but the movie just came on.  "You are my inspiration!"  :)  

Thank you for stopping by.  Check out TCM if you love old movies. You can watch it on the computer on demand or stream it live.  It's awesome!  :)

I've been working on this the past couple days -- pushing and pulling the color -- letting it sit and just observing -- and I think it's finally time to say "done" to "One."I hope you like it. Now onto the next.

Thank you for viewing my work.
