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!

Happy New Year

This year I am going to spend more time on my bike….and maybe just a little less time in front of a canvas. This does not mean I will not be painting every day!!I have been trying a bit of still life painting, and I am enjoying it…wow, never thought I would!!!

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!

Plein Air in The Wind

I started a painting yesterday at a beautiful creek on Kaweah River Dr. The weather was perfect, then the wind picked up and down went my painting…a couple of times. That’s just part of the plein air experience I guess! I just have to make sure I pick out all the little pieces of weeds and dirt!!!! It should be complete this afternoon, check back for a photo…

Thanks to Nadi, I now am starting to post my painting a day. I do think technology got the best of me…..hours wasted trying to figure this computer stuff out. Yet we all know there is not a place in the world without it! Anyway, I am having fun with a painting a day.
