$225.00 SOLD!
This chickadee is a bit looser than my usual
style because I was using it as a demonstration
for class.
Today was snow makeup day for classes.
I am getting tired of spending all my time
inside...

I have been wanting to paint one of my cats for

chance he gets. Here is is longingly looking
outside.

make up Thursday. Signing up students for
February... email if you are interested!

2014 Cape May Series #3
SOLD!
This is a backyard I found while walking the
side streets of Cape May, NJ. Lots of detail
and fun colors.
We are back from our last mini vacation
before starting into the show season.
Over the weekend we went on our annual
outing with two other couples, this time to
Washington, DC. I can recommend
The Hotel Lombardy, very nice staff.Excellent meals at Founding Farmers,
Capital City Brewing Co. Old Ebbitt Grilland Deluxe Diner.
We toured the US Capital,
the Library of Congress (this is a must see!)
and the National Cathedral (another must see!)
Also finally got to the Kennedy Center and
saw "Sheer Madness" for a night of laughter.
Excellent weekend away.

Cape May Lighthouse in January.
I am ignoring the snow today!

shoveling. I also had two students
show up for class this morning.

2014 Winter Series #10
$225.00
Not exactly our outside reality... this view was
from a week ago. Right now there is pretty
much snow outside. I like the red against the
landscape.
Only had one morning student for class and
I am thinking none tonight which means a
make up class. This is a far cry from setting
on the beach a few days ago!
Yes we are bundled
up but the sun was shining.
Notice the Cape May lighthouse
at my head!

2014 Cape May Series #1
$200
This is the bottom of the Cape May, NJ Lighthouse.
I simply enjoyed the colors and the sunshine. I plan
to paint the whole view but I liked the feel of the
unknown here...
We were blessed to spend three full days at the beach.
Thank you to a good friend who lent us their beach house.
The weather co-operated and I was able to get some
photos for inspiration. We ate well and rested. We are
home for three days and then headed to Washington DC
with two other couples who get together once a year.
I am a little worried about my classes and the snow
tomorrow...

2014 Winter Series #8
SOLD!
More melting snow...
I had another class this morning and then
met with some track kids for a bit of winter
conditioning. We are headed to Cape May
tomorrow for a long quiet weekend. I plan
to paint and Linda is planning to read. A few
good meals out and a walk on the beach.
Leaving our house sitter in charge of the house
the cats and the parents!

2014 Winter Series #7
SOLD!
I love the look of melting snow in a field,
the way it lays in the plowed rows.
This is a Lititz farm. I can handle painting
"melting" snow!
I am lucky to have Linda do all the parts of a
painting business that artists (me) do not think
of, or if they think of it they hate it!
Over the past few days she has been closing
out my year on the computer, gathering all
totals for taxes. All receipts neatly boxed.
Found the box for 2002 and shredded it, evidently
we need to keep 7-10 years worth of records.
Who knew!! As an artist we barely care about that
kind of thing.
She tried to WOW me with a balance sheet and
year to date expense sheet! I hope I looked
impressed! She printed all new sheets to keep
track of shows and expenses. She can tell me what
I did at every show for 20 years! We also had a
"business" meeting about shows... and I must say
she is being unusually reasonable. She threw out
Cherry Creek, CO and after I freaked out about the
drive and amount of gas (think about the amount of
gas for 1658 miles one way and 24 hrs of driving) anyway she just smiled and informed me it was
just a test to see if I would go for it. Trust me,
If I had said OK she would be booking it! I prefer
my role, which is to paint, simply paint. And I am also
teaching right now. I have a new student who is
French and from the Bordeaux area and Linda spent
a half hour talking to her and I just know she is
longing for a trip back to France... oh my...

2014 Still Life #2
SOLD
More pears. Just because they are here!
We had a nice weekend. We really do not get too
many free weekends with our show schedule. So
Linda has lots she likes to try to do when we are
off. Saturday night we went to hear the group
Vinyl Groove at the Hollywood Casino. Not much
of a casino man so it is always interesting to watch
everyone gamble away their money. We chose
to dance our way through two sets. This band is
excellent and polished if you like Motown. We plan
to see them again.
