Two day of track practice under my belt.

2015 Landscape Series #1

4"x 6" Original watercolor
SOLD!

This little painting is interesting.  I love the
wet roads.  It was a rainy summer day in
Lancaster County.

I am sure most of you will agree...I am tired of
winter.  Really tired of it.  Riding my rollers in the
house is no longer doing it for me.   Track starts on
Monday.  Where am I going to condition my kids??
We are not allowed to run the halls in school.  It is
too cold for me to stand outside for 2 hours coaching.

2015 Winter Series

 4"x 6"  Original Watercolor

A Painting A Day ~ SOLD!

This is how it is looking here in
Lancaster County!

Due to the snow and ice on Sunday I left the show before
it opened.  By the time I got home there was 2" of snow.
I think it was a good call to pack up, although I hate
leaving a show early.  Linda spent the weekend cleaning
out so today we took several boxes of  books and
records, yes, I said records to the Lancaster Re-sort for their
Library sales.  Cook books are gone, the conversation went
this way:
Me: What are you going to do for recipes?
Linda: Use the internet
Me: What if the internet is not working?
Linda: We go out

Coaches track meeting tonight.  Track starts in 8 days.  It
better warm up and melt!!  Love track, love the kids!

Safekeeping

I taught a morning class, ran plexi-glass to be cut for

my commission painting, went to market.  Home to

paint.  Teaching another class tonight.

Here is another painting finished and will be at the
Hockessin, DE show this weekend.

                                  "Safekeeping"  17x21  $900

Show Season Starts...

My free time comes to an end.  I was not really free,

but my 2015 show season starts this weekend.  So

the traveling starts again.  I also need to get back to

my Painting a Day pieces for this blog.  Since my
commission is finished I have no excuse!
I have one more set of classes to teach in March
and 13 days till track starts!!  I sure hope it warms up.

I love track but hate the cold.

South Carolina.  I spent some time watching

the river flow.  It was way up over the banks.

This is our view out the back door.

The little Pee Dee River in S.C.

We just returned from a very nice weekend in
Galivants Ferry S.C.  Linda got together with
her 3 brothers for the first time in like 10 years.
She found this great VRBO cottage surrounded 
by the Pee Dee River, the cottage was actually 
sitting in the river since the river spilled its banks!
Great views of the river. Notice the long boardwalk
on the left of the house, that's how we got into the 
house! Had a wagon to cart your stuff in!
Made for a great, fun, different memory....
Weather was chilly, not what we hoped for!
I can highly recommend this: www.vrbo.com/304266
It was 1 hour from Myrtle Beach, SC

Linda and her brothers (and me!)

Commission Finished!!

Finished!   It feels good to be finished!  Feels even
better that the client is happy.  I still need to frame it
and as requested... bang a nail and hang it!

Commission

Still working on my commission...
I spent the last day and a half on the fence
and simply going around the painting blending
and softening.  This helps add texture and depth.
My client came to look at it and was pleased!
That's a relief, we talked about the framing and
payment!  I still have a day or two of work.
