First Thanksgiving down...2 more to go!

I feel very grateful that we still get together with my Dad's side and celebrate Thanksgiving. It's always fun to see my aunts and uncles, cousins, and second-cousins!

At this time of year I like to list many of my older paintings on ebay in hopes that they will find a new home over the holidays. The painting above is one of the many paintings that start at a 1 $ bid on ebay. These make unusual stocking stuffers or possibly gifts for friends and family.

“Dorothy”, 8″x8″, oil on canvas panel, ©2012 Heather Hingst Bennett
SOLD

My friend, Gail, thought these shoes looked like Dorothy’s from the Wizard of OZ. I was thinking the same thing. Dorothy is finally dry and will be headed to ebay this evening.

No. 180 - SOLD

“Hissy Fit”, 8″x8″, oil on canvas panel, ©2012 Heather Hingst Bennett

A hissy fit is exactly what I was having when I painted this. So, I decided to just play around with shapes and colors, so I’m hoping it seems a little more abstract then some of my past paintings.

Spent another day at the pool. Now it’s time to do a little painting.

Have a wonderful weekend!

No. 179 - SOLD

“Happy Daisy”, 8″x8″, oil on canvas panel, ©2012 Heather Hingst Bennett

Just trying to get as much swimming in before my son goes back to school!

No. 177 - SOLD

“Taste of Summer”, 8″x8″, oil on canvas panel, ©2012 Heather Hingst Bennett

I was a bad daughter and didn’t go visit my dad today for Father’s Day. Instead I painted. That’s me…always working!

My dad loves to eat his watermelon with salt. So, I think tomorrow I’ll add a little salt shaker to the composition and that one will be for him.

No. 176 - SOLD

“Stripes Peas”, 8″x8″, oil on canvas board, ©2012 Heather Hingst Bennett

Sorry for the bad photo. I’ll scan it in a few days.

The remainder of last week was a wiper. I didn’t like anything I put down. I kept trying all sorts of scenarios with this stripe fabric. Maybe I should have eliminated the fabric and went on with something else, but I didn’t. Finally yesterday I finished this.

I did have and encounter with an opossum. I was on my early morning walk and found this a opossum mother with babies on her back by my trail. I actually got a picture.



She was on the other side of the fence when I first saw her and crawled under the fence while I was watcher her. Which scrapped all her babies off her back. Now worries, they climbed right back on.



Here’s a cropped picture. I call here mini van mama.

No. 175 - SOLD

“Nestled”, 8″x8″, oil on canvas board, ©2012 Heather Hingst Bennett

Much anxiety went into this painting. I really challenged myself with the ellipse openings. Still needs some work, but I’m pretty please with the overall painting. I’ll add this one to eBay once it drys and I can get it scanned. I’m having problems getting the exact colors with my camera.

Thanks for stopping by!

No. 173 - Sold

"Odd Limes", 8"x8", oil on canvas panel, ©2012 Heather Hingst Bennett

My son named this one. I had a name for it while I was painting and didn't write it down, so it's lost.

But, hey, it's Friday!

No. 170

Cupcake Top #008

"Cupcake Top", 8x8, oil on canvas panel
