2013 Waterlily #4

4"x 6" original watercolor
$250.    SOLD!

This painting is all about the pads.  It is a small
painting but has the feeling that the lilies just fill
up this pond...

Early morning bike ride, painted, gassed up the van
for the weekend show, visited my Mom, stopped
for two new toilet seats, and finished my day by
having dinner with friends.  Good day.

2013 Waterlily #3

4"x 6" original watercolor
$225.

In a way, this painting is more of a study of reflection
than it is about a waterlily.  A tree reflects half the
painting while the other half is the cloudy sky.  But I
love the shot of hot pink in the center.

2013 Waterlily #2

 

4"x 6" original watercolor

$225

Another in my waterlily series.  Water reflects
the sky, so a pond changes mood and color each
day.

 

 

Here is my next finished commission.

This is a family farm with flowering potato fields.
Since the photo I had to work with was pretty old
I needed to work closely with my client to get
it the way they wanted.  The size is 21x17

I have been inspired by the waterlilies I saw in Ohio.
Planning on painting a few.  They are my favorite
flower.

It has been a long 3 weeks.  Finished the show in
Allentown, PA and had two days to repack and leave
for Cincinnati, OH.  We were rained out Friday and
frankly I did not have much interest at this show.
We then headed north to Cleveland to our friends and
spent the week with them.  Finishing the week with
another Ohio show which was much better. 
Arrived home Monday night to a whole bunch of catch-up!
I also finished a wonderful painting plus my farm commission. 
Photos to follow.

Got home at 10pm on Monday, I unpacked while Linda

Monday:  I unpacked the van, had a 2 hour dentist
appointment,  started spring maintenance on the camper
(since we are using it this weekend),  I looked up and it
was 9pm!
Today: I spent the day finishing the camper.  Bug bombed
so there should be no spiders to freak out Linda... aired out,
wiped inside, new tire, etc... Mowed the lawn.
Tonight we are going to see my all time favorite...
Chicago at the American Music Theater.  Cannot wait.

2013 Angles #1
5"x5" original watercolor    $225.

I am always interested in unusual angles.  This is from
walking down stairs looking across a room.

I had a few things on Linda's list that needed done and
then I painted as promised.  It is a short week because
I show at Wilkes-Barre from Thursday through Sunday.


Over the weekend we had a little excitement.
Midnight on Friday night... in the old days we would
have been out dancing.  But these days I am admitting
we were both sound asleep in our hotel bed; only to
be rousted by loud fire alarms.  We had to go outside, in the
heavy rain and stand in our PJ's (yes again, I confess to
PJ's)  Standing there with other strangers in various
assortments of dress and undress for 45 minutes. 
3 firetrucks, lots of fireman and policemen, more heavy rain...
and finally we were allowed back in without ever hearing
what was wrong.  I fell right back to sleep, Linda on the
other hand is not a good sleeper on a good night!

track season over...

My track season has come to an end.
Today was our last track meet.
Leagues,  20 teams.... wait for it...
Our boys took 1st!!! , and our girls 6th.
The whole meet was a thing of beauty.

So now I will focus on painting.
Well, I do have a banquet next week!
I am leaving in the morning for set up
for my weekend show.
