Painting…painting..painting

I have been so very busy finishing furniture orders, and oil paintings..just 4 more left! I posted a saying that I thought of on facebook the other day, and it goes like this…Employed: you have a job. Self emplyoyed: the job has you! That pretty much is how I have been feeling for the last year! I can’t wait to get back outside for some plein air work!!! There is nothing like that wide open landscape reference, and not to mention, the best lighting there is!

New Art..

Hi,I am back….and now realizing that not “everyone” has facebook. I display my daily paintings on facebook, and sale many off of that. I am just finishing up Christmas jobs, which may be a little to wet to wrap!!! The gallery has been pretty steady. And I am fortunate to have a helping staff. Sue is in on Fridays, and Tina St. John has been in on Thursdays with her jewelry. And…thank you mom! (she has been feeling in when I need).

To enter the drawing to win this 8x10 oil, just go to my facebook page, Colors Art Gallery, and follow the instructions...good luck!
