Farm Yard Find (cropped) SOLD @ RRFAS "15

Here is the finished painting I started Sunday as a demo.  I love the watery looseness of the paint behind the truck and the crooked grain bin. I absolutely love this painting, altho I may crop some of the sky off when i frame it, which i do myself..
i do my own nails and i frame my own paintings.. NOT going to pay someone to do what I can do myself........ getting old & crotchety, huh???

Demo-ing @ Cormorant

This is me, painting a demo @ the Cormorant Art show yesterday..  i got so excited, first i tipped over my water then stuck my brush into my coffee.  The painting is loose and drippy but i am sure I'll tighten it up and make it mine..  i will post it when i finish.  The weekend show was wonderful. Folks purchased 70 of my greeting cards, can you believe it?? and i sold a painting.  Spent time with a lot of new friends and a few old ones..

Along the Fence 2 sold

I painted this demo @ the National Watermedia Exhibition @ the Hjemkomst a couple of weeks ago. It was fun as a lot of folks came to the show that afternoon to watch the demos and appreciate the wonderful artwork in our exhibition.

fun week

Just got home from my home town, helping celebrate it's 125th birthday. The Arts Council sponsored a wonderful Art Show @ the library. Entries were from folks with connections to Langdon over the years.  It was really fun and special. Also attended a class reunion.. Not going to say how many years it has been since i graduated..
