Todays feature is a blue bottle from an antique market in Lewisburg, PA.  We were on a hunt for a special step back cabinet and I was distracted with possible still life subjects!

Open House Update: November 17-19 (save the date and plan to come to Lititz!)  We went to proof the new print.  We want a match print, meaning the print color matches the original painting.  Some artists like to change the print colors but I am always happy with my original painting and do not think changing the print would improve it.  Linda felt the color was too dark so they will tweak it and we go back on Friday.

We also got our Covid booster today.  Several people around us have gotten Covid recently and we are planning on a little cruise and felt we better not wait.  So that was checked off the list.  We are finally moving the paintings back into the studio and out of our livingroom.

A whole lot goes into our annual Open House and it starts NOW! Invitation ideas and info are already at the printer. Tuesday we met with the a different printer that does my painting prints...wait till you see my new print!! I am also doing a new Holiday print. (hint: snowman). The girls are starting to beef up the framing. Supplies are coming in weekly. Not to mention I am trying to paint and Linda is a little crazy trying to get the studio finished.
