Orange & Yellow gift

Painted this the other day in Acrylics.. I had taken the photo at my friend, Eva's place in Sun Lakes, AZ .. it is of her fruit (tangelos), her dish, her window sill.. I added the lemon..

I will be taking a workshop next week using acrylic paints so thought i'd better get them out and get the feel.. so different than watercolors..

Hung out to Dry!! Donated to benefit 4-14

Oh, i did start this at our Thursday painting get-together.. i added the grass and shadows yesterday, awaiting the rain, sleet, thunder, wind, lightening, snow storm we had last night..

May 30, (After showing this to fellow artists, they thought I should add some shapes and interest in the background 'cause i had 3 straight lines across the painting.. not interesting... so i dabbled in some trees and clouds.) Oh and there are tornado warnings today.

I wanted to entitle it "A Quilt, 3 Shirts and a Pair of Pants".. a little long for a painting that took me 45 minutes to paint..
March 2013...  this painting seemed to be quite unsuccessful.. plus I needed the frame it was in..  I cropped it and added a yellow sky.. chopped off the ugly quilt .. put it in a smaller frame and it looks good, i must say.

Toolbelt (revisited..) DONATED

Once again, I took an old painting and put in a great background .. my intention was to make the background look " leather-ly" or "cement-ly" .. i think it worked OK...

I haven't painted for awhile and my inventory is at a "all time" high.... but I WANT to paint more.... lucky me!!! Donated to Pekin Auction

I,m here, @ Bobbie's house

We are on our last leg of our adventure.. just got to Lake Havasu City today.. have had great visits with old friends and with my 93 year old auntie ... weather is so beautiful and warm.. We are hoping to be able to meet up with our son, Mike, on our way back to cold, cold Fargo..
Have not painted a stroke or drawn a line on this trip.. have taken a few photos.. this is the first time I have even seen a computer since we left 2 weeks ago.. will check in later..
