Life Gets In The Way

Sitting here today at the keyboard and I've got nothing.  Been too long since the last posting, so here's a recap.  I turned 60, YIKES!!!!  I have learned to make an awesome latte and espresso.  Still working on the Vikings and Mercury paintings.  Really thought they would be finished by now, but had a funeral in a distant town to attend, got caught up in visiting galleries, picking up art and dropping off more art.  Oh, and now I have lost 15 lbs. 

From Good to Better

For every bad day, there is a really good day waiting. Yesterday was it. I am especially fond of rabbits, having been born on Easter Sunday many eons ago. Yesterday, I painted this Jackrabbit getting a head start on Mercury and also a box turtle looking up at him. I will work on these two little guys again, they aren't finished, but are pretty satisfying starts. Oh, and all this after my adventure in topiary clipping. I will post pictures of that later.

I have already prepared my palette for today, squeezed out lots of colors, laid out my brushes, put on the pot of coffee. I am promised by my husband, that there will be no interuptions today.

From Bad to Worse

Remember the two little dark clouds problem? Well, now it is one big cloud problem. Did the fix, left the room and then returned to find that Zorro had been at work on my painting. Oh Shoot, I will fix it tomorrow. Today I am pruning shrubs and then painting a Jack Rabbit on the Mercury painting.
