Eggplants, onions, and elephants, oh my!

This was a fun, and productive, weekend. Friday night I went to a benefit for the elephant sanctuary in Tennessee. If you don't know about this, and are interested, check out http://www.elephants.com
I also got two more paintings done, and as you can see, I've sold one of them. The process of painting is incredible, but having the validation of someone actually paying you for your effort is heady. Hope you enjoy seeing them.

Life

Studio is finished and ready to be used, however, it's still summer in Virginia so I'm not yet giving up my spot on the screened porch. I've found it's a great place to paint during the day (hence I can only work on the weekends since I'm at work all day). This past weekend however was spent entertaining house guests so, obviously, no painting got done. Sounds like a lot of excuses, doesn't it? I have high hopes for the upcoming weekend, however, so stay tuned. PR

Mango and Frog

Walls and mangos

So this past weekend I started putting furniture back into my newly painted studio then, before I put the paint away, I cleared out and painted the laundry room! Glutton for punishment. My reward was to sit down and paint Mango and Frog, my newest addition to this site. Hope you enjoy!

I got real tired of painting the studio floor this weekend, so I stopped and did this painting of the artichoke. I had gone to the market and bought food based on how it would look painted rather than how I would cook it (I'm no cook), but I do love to eat artichokes! As you can see, so does someone else!

Painting blues (and I don't mean the color)

Hi everyone,
thanks for checking on my blog progress. Some of you have expressed disappointment that I haven't posted more paintings so let me 'splain. I've been painting the ceiling, walls, trim, and even the floor of my studio so I haven't lifted a brush smaller than 2" for about a week. I hope to get set back up to paint small again real soon, so stay tuned...
