First 7 paintings

So...the sizes are weird.  I simply grabbed scrap pieces of watercolor paper and painted.  Totally driving Linda crazy because none of them fit in any frames we have or can get.  SO, you are on your own with framing and please do not ask Linda to help or I’ll never hear the end of it!
That said, these are all wonderful little paintings.  I had a blast painting them.  I painted one each day on the ship.  Here are the first 7 and tomorrow I will post the next 7.

I’m back!

We just returned from a 14 day cruise... Linda sold it to me by explaining it did not matter if she recouperated on the sofa in the living room or a lounge chair on a ship.  Then dangled snow and cold with 80 degrees...I caved in!  It was not as easy as it sounded.  The ship (Norwegian Escape) was sold out with 4200 + people on board, making finding chairs impossible.  Lots of walking which was good for the new knees but kicked in extremely bad non stop muscle spasms.  So bad that she asked for a wheelchair to get off the ship, and if you know Linda...that puts it into perspective.  We did have a good time together and not sorry we went however we decided it was way to soon after surgery.

I took a travel painting set along and grabbed small scrap watercolor paper (not the perfect sizes Linda always has ready for me!).  I painted one miniature everyday painted from views from the boat. I have 14 Paintings.   I am NOT offering framing on any of them, you will have to do it yourself.   Here is a great little movie featuring all of them, they are much  better looking in person!  Pick your favorite and tomorrow’s blog will have more info about them and a chance purchase.

  This is only a tease!  Wait till tomorrow to purchase!

2019 Ireland #12

4x6” original watercolor.    $225

I found this swan in the gardens of the Irish National
Stud Farm so that makes it an Irish swan!
Put it on your Ireland bucket list.  It was worth the visit.

This is my last painting for the week.  We are headed
to warm weather for a bit.  Our house sitter is in
charge so don't worry the house is not empty.  I will
be back tanned, ha ha and rested and ready to
paint seascapes!

We did a tour at  Molly Gallivan's Cottage near
Kenmare, Ireland.  This chicken was walking around.


From this same farm I painted my pig.
"Mollys Pig"  framed 24x18   $2800.00
Still available!

lesson learned!

You don't know what you don't know!
Our 4 year old Ipad died.  So I did a bit of research and found the newest model replacement.  Yesterday we went to Best Buy feeling confident and bought one.  Linda spent all afternoon syncing it to my phone, adding all the programs she needed, making sure all worked.  It was connected to our house wi-fi and all was well and she was happy. Sometime in the middle of the night, when Linda was having trouble sleeping she had the thought that it was not  all right.  That the ATT symbol and connection was not there.  So this morning she contacts ATT tec support  "chat" .  They are asking lots of questions, asking for lots of numbers and still missing some information.  After an hour "support chatting"  Linda cries uncle and the support guy says his supervisor will call in a few minutes.  Ha ha... no call came.  So we now get into the car and drive to the ATT store out on Rt 30 Lancaster.  A very nice, very young girl takes a one second look at it and announces we bought a WiFi only model... she restores the original settings and we now need to return it.  However we did not have the charger with us.  So we drive back home, pick everything up and head to Best Buy again... I wait in a long return line and find out the cellular model is not available BUT they can have one shipped in a day or two...  As of 5pm, Linda still has a headache!  Who knew what to ask for!!  As you can guess, no painting was accomplished today.

I missed the blood moon but caught it later.
Huge and shining behind the bare winter trees.
I love moons and just had to paint it.
