definately a monday

I painted this morning and really didn't like what I came up with. I thought it would grow on me, so I went out to run some errands, made dinner and went back to check on it. I still didn't like it. So, it's back to the drawing board for me.

a sweet weekend

Sorry for the bad picture, but please say “hello!” to “Cherry Bomb No. 1″ (left) and “Cherry Bomb No. 2″ (right).

Is it just me or did the weekend go by too fast for you to? Really, the weekend is the same as a week day for me. Except it’s painting with more distractions and people in the house. I have to say I’m doing really well with the daily painting goal for March. Yeah!

Hope you had a sweet weekend!

acrylic or oil

Today I painted the cat eye sunglasses with acrylics. The painting on the left is in acrylics and the one on the right is oil paints. Which do you like better?

I had a lot of fun painting this today. There's still a little work to be done on it. I have to wait for the paint to dry a little before I really add the highlights. I think tomorrow I'll paint it again using acrylics.

Here's a fun Web site full of vintage eye glasses.

Three paintings completed in 3 days…yes, I’m back at the “daily painting” challenge. I’m trying to paint a painting a day for the month of March. Hopefully, if I can do it for 31 days I can continue and do a full year of paintings.

5"x7", oil on canvas board

This is my favorite painting so far this year. I think it really defines where I want my paintings to go. Lots of white and pastels colors. Also how I want to redecorate my house.

Very cottage, very shabby chic!

These are actually flowers that I made about a year ago. If you want to make some to just visit my old blog.
