2014 Sunflower

5"x 5" Original Watercolor
SOLD

Rows of different sunflowers were growing
at the Shaker Village.  I singled out this one
because I liked the way it was reaching for the
sky. Enjoyed the colors in this little painting.

Linda was on a cleaning kick today.  We went
through a few shelves of old paint cans and
cleaned up a few other shelves.  Then she finally
read the show info for Saturdays big craft show in
Lititz and realized our space was moved.  I am
now near the square, on Broad St.  In front of the
Young Business Mens building.  Space #F8.

This was my view everyday while driving from our B&B in
Wilmore to The Shaker Village. Route 68/33 snakes around
and crosses over the Kentucky River.  This was my view from
the bridge.

We had a nice time in Kentucky, worth the 9 hour drive!
A fellow artist decided to try the show so we spent some
time getting to know them.  Lynn & Jim Taylor...
Kingston Pottery.  Today I painted, mowed, picked up a
frame order and shipped some orders.

2014 Lewes

4"x 6" original watercolor

While showing in Lewes DE  I found this
interesting corner.  Love the play of light
dancing against the house.  There are truly
subjects everywhere I look.

Lititz Art Show went well.  It was nice to be close
to home, sleep in my own bed and have off on
Sunday!  Kentucky here we come, heading out on
Thursday to one of my favorite places.  The Shaker
Village in Harrodsburg. (near Lexington)

Check in...

We have had a few days off which is a joy.  I managed
to get a few bike rides in.  Linda has been puttering in
the garden.  But it has not been all play.  All my supplies
were wet from the Penn State show so  I had to unpack
all the tent supplies and the camper and dry everything
off and repack.  Linda has been at her desk.  I saw
frames come in and matts were cut.  I wrote a large check
to the post office for a postcard update.

Linda had me busy painting of another kind, all our
patio furniture was in need of sanding and a fresh coat
of paint.  I sanded most of today.

This is the painting I finished at Penn State...

Framed 17x21  Needs a title...

Reminder... this Saturday is the Lititz Art Show.
Its FREE!  So I hope to see all the locals in my booth
holding paintings!!
