Click to see on Auction at Ebay

I'm getting energized after watching a bunch of art videos and work from my contemporaries...getting a little fired up too with some competitive spirit... I think I need to make some improvements to my website and link up my blogs and, well, just start painting!!! The kids are back in school and I know eventually I'll need something to occupy my time. I added a new floral last night ... they always turn out different in their own unique way. And I got my first blog follower!!! Thank you my friend!!!!

What to Paint Today???

Today, I promise, I am going to actually make a new painting!! Art sales have been so depressed in this economy, that it is hard for me to feel the motivation to paint. Not that it is about the money, but ah.... well... it is a great motivator. Plus, those canvas and paint supplies sure aren't cheap. Anyways, today I'm thinking of painting a Trees Landscape, like I used to do. Yesterday I noticed one of my abstract poppies paintings wasn't selling well, so I decided to paint over the yellow ochre color with a nice pale blue sky area. Perhaps now it will do better. The coolest thing is to paint over a completely dry painting, because you get to see the outline of the old color and it looks kind of modern cool (see above).
