"SO LOVELY"

4x4, oil on 3/8 panel, $50.00

Just a little rose in my yard that I can't remember the name, except that it was lovely.  It was cut and painted and just drooped when it's portrait was complete.  I really love painting these little ones.  

Need A Little Vitamin "C" 6x6 oil

Today I had my second meeting with "Kevin" at Cynthia Grilli's workshop.  I really had fun.  The only thing is I forgot my camera.  So I will catch up with that next week.
In the mean time I had lots of paint on my palette from today.  I have been enjoying these tangellos with hope of getting a little needed vitamin "C".  I think it is just not enough and the cold is coming and the headache is here.  One thing nice about still life is I can sit and be still while I paint.  I am not much for doing nothing.  Painting takes my mind off my nose and head and all the woes of not feeling 100%.

Trees 8x10

Painted these when it was a bit too windy in the creek bed.  This is a whole new venture to figure out and show depth and light.  I could do this for a while.  My photo is not picking up the distant light and is looking quite gray.  One of these days I will understand how to fix these things.

Today is my twentieth painting for the month of January.  I am pleased to say I met my goal.  Now I need to evaluate and look at what I learned.
