This is one of the many vintage shift dresses I have collected over the years. Shifts are wonderful. They are very flattering and comfortable to wear.

So, I think I'm going to "shift" gears and paint some dresses for a bit.

Just in case you were wondering, I have been using instant milk for these paintings.

Last fall I found this glass at the thrift store. I couldn't believe my luck! It's so mid-century modern and I am crazy about that stuff at the moment. I finally got the courage to paint it. I think I'll give it another try tomorrow.

PLEASE NOTE: I'm trying to get better at taking pictures of my paintings instead of scanning them. This way I can post them the day I paint them...which is really nice. What I was thinking is much fresher in my mind. I think the colors are mostly correct. We can compare in a few days when it dries and I can scan it in.

Here are some fun Mid-Century Modern links:

• 15 Mid-Century Modern Dream Homes that will Kill Your Children
• The Mid-Century Modernist
• Google Images

Enjoy!

My scanned image is MUCH, MUCH more representative of what this painting looks like! I'll have to keep experimenting with photographing my paintings.
