I don't think there was really ever a milkman in the Fisher Price Village, but I thought I'd make one using the mail truck.  I think this works.  I must say, it was nice having a milkman, ours was Mr. Banas . . . I wish they were still around.

Thank you for viewing my work.

30 Day Challenge - Painting #19

"Fill It Up . . . Hi-Test"

"Hi-test" . . . now there's a word you don't hear anymore.  And look at the poor grump -- he must already know about the parking ticket . . . or he's just mad that the nozzle is coming out of his head.  Either way . . . he's none too pleased and I can't say as though I blame him, poor fellah.

Day 19 of the Challenge . . . we're getting down to the wire.  And oh so many Fisher Price ideas still floating around in this nutty little head of mine.  I may have to continue this series even after the challenge has ended.  After taking a little break though, of course.

Thank you for viewing my work.

"The Parking Ticket"

Apparently parking in front of a hydrant isn't such a good idea . . . especially one that's set right in front of the Police Station.  I guess even Fisher Price people have to obey the laws.  I wonder if this car belongs to "The Grump" -- that could explain a lot.  :)

Sorry for the lousy image -- again, it's late at night.  I didn't get a chance to start this painting until very late tonight.  But I was determined to stay on track.  I just hope I can get some painting done early in the day tomorrow, so I won't be burning the midnight oil again.

Anyway -- thanks for dropping by.  And now I'm going to bed!

It may be cold outside, but this little lady is keeping warm by her cozy fireplace.  Now if only she could get some insulated glass . . . or something at all, in her windows to protect her against the elements and keep the heat in.  Have a lovely day.  I finished this one early today -- yippee!  Thank you for stopping by.

Day 16 --- woo hoo!  I'm trying to get some paintings started for the week.  It's funny, one minute I'm feeling like I'll be able to get ahead and the next I'm saying "oh no . . . I have no paintings started."  These days just keep coming . . . and so quickly . . . and using up all my started paintings.  

Thank you for viewing my work.  Have a great day.

I've been scrambling here this weekend.  Although I have a couple more started, this pace is just nuts to keep up.  How the heck do people do this?!  

So I think this photo was snapped while Grandma was feeding the baby.  Ha!  Aaaah . . . the little people -- they're just so happy.  Hope you enjoy . . . and thank you for stopping by.

Aaaahhh, the phone booth. Just another item going the way of the dinosaur. I wish I had room in my house for an old wooden phone booth. How cool would that be? Just tuck it in the corner of a giant mudroom or entry way. 

So this is my entry for day 12 of Leslie Saeta's 30 Day September Challenge. I hope you like it. And a big thank you to all who've taken the time to comment and share your memories -- I so enjoy reading your notes. You inspire me to keep going.

Thank you for viewing my work.

30 Day Challenge - Painting #10

I'm getting excited that I'm going to have 30 paintings (or close to it, if I can't keep up) of Fisher Price paintings. I think a little series of these will be very cool. Of course, I may be the only person in the Universe to think that, but that's ok.

This one was very fun to paint.  I just LOVE the Village. I'm also hoping to get my little hands on the camper and houseboat -- two other big favorites. I think it's time to start trolling ebay again!  :)

Thank you for visiting and have a lovely Fisher Price day!

I think this one is my favorite, so far.  :)  I'm still having some trouble with my camera, so please bear with me. After tonight, I'll be able to catch up with some studio stuff, painting, etc. I've had some appointments, workshops and such to attend to, but have a stretch of studio time this week, that I'm really looking forward to. Hopefully too, I'll be able to straighten out my camera issues.

Thank you for dropping by and have a lovely day!

"Relaxing"

Dad is all settled into his favorite armchair, ready to watch the ballgame.  I can't believe I've actually kept up for seven days straight!  I've also finished two other paintings that I will post once this is all over.  They're not big, but each one serves its purpose.  One is for a class I'm teaching at the Hardwick Winery tomorrow (Sunday) and the other is for the month of December on my 2014 calendar.  It will probably be a Christmas card this year for either myself or my dad.  

So that's all the news here.  Have a lovely day and keep painting, people!  :)
