Big post today....let's just say I saw the light!!!....hahaha.....simplify.....simplify.....simplify......my tendency is to get too caught in the weeds.....so yesterday was a day of clearer thinking and seeing!!

This is my submission for day 29 on the 30 in 30 challenge. 

Ok.....now I am getting somewhere.....this went much better!  I actually like this one a lot.  It is gouache and I think I would enjoy oils, but this was ok....it dried almost as soon as it was down so there was no modeling to be done ....just shape.  Fun though!!!!!

Do you want to learn a little more about painting loosely?  This is part of what I will cover in this one day workshop held in Savannah on April 5th from 9-4.  For more information go HERE.

Now this was difficult to do. Painting a glass figurine poses all kinds of problems. I think that the most difficult is finding a background of the right value that shows off the glass. It was great practice. I have hung in on this painting and now I am pleased with the results. It was very difficult and I learned sooo much. Don't give up until it suits you is the first thing I learned!

The weather has been so HOT here in the South. To cool off I made up a container of raspberry lemonade. The glass was in the path of the sulight as it streamed across the counter and illuminated the glass. I had been racking my brain trying to dedcide what to paint for the day when I realized that the painting was sitting right in front of me. I grabbed my easel and paints and painted right there in the kitchen! 5X7 inches oil Raymar canvas panel (Archival)

I am proud to say that I grew this sweet little sunflower! I have a number of varieties growing and prospering in this very humid hot weather. I hated to cut the little guy. 6x8 inches oil Raymar canvas panel (archival)

I have searched my garden books for the name of this purple flower and can't find what it is. If any one knows please let me know. I think it is an annual. It sort of looks like a gloxinia doesn't it? 6X6 inches oil canvas panel

Cherries are here!!! I remember my grandmother having huge bowls full of cherries when they were in season. They always bring me back in years to a Wyoming summer! 6X6 inches oil canvas panel

I made these poppy seed muffins at about 3:00am. Have you ever had a night where you couldn't sleep and cooking seemed a good way to spend the hours before dawn? 6X6 inches oil canvas panel
