Wow, can it be?? Today I began detailing that hill on the lower left because the final “snapshot” is finished. Maybe. (A man asked me again how I got those photos up on the wall – his buddy blurted out “With her paintbrush, Dummy” or something equally ungracious.)Does this look like dirt, rocks, growies and […]

Today was so peopled that I didn’t seem to paint much! However, detail is improving steadily on this scene. Notice it is “crooked” today. . .

Looking progressively less icky, we hope! It was a gusty windy day, not the best for hanging onto the palette and photo while wondering if the umbrella’s bungy cord would hold. Many people were pleased to inform me that the “photo” was crooked; I have straightened it out somewhat for you here:

Today Betsy asked what she could do to get me to slow down. After thinking about it, the answer is a multi-faceted one: 1. Clean my house for me 2. Buy 2 tanks of gas and 3. Guarantee that the weather won’t get hot before your desired finish date. My guess is that I will […]

Today I backed the truck to the end and painted to the end! It isn’t finished, of course, but paint reached the end of the wall. Shoot. I had all kinds of ideas for the blog and I’m back to Uhhh, photo, look.

Rain reprieve yesterday. I’m of two minds now: starting to slow down, reluctant to finish while at at the same time looking forward to not taking the car out of the garage all day and staying home to paint little bitty oil pictures! Uhhh, photo, look:

As I paint in silence (relatively speaking) and solitude each day, ideas come to me for this blog. Sometimes 2-3 hours go by with no visitors; they usually appear in groups, right around the time I break for lunch (all 3 minutes of it) or while I am trying to put it all away around […]

Whooo-eee, it was a hot one today! Pleasant unless standing in the sun on the back of a truck in or on the asphalt next to a south facing wall. I gave up around 2 p.m. because the paint was drying too fast in the brushes. “Postcard” #6 is finished, leaving just the last one […]

Great weather! Sounds like a cliche, but when one works outside, it is EVERYTHING. Had many visitors today, including my dear husband who set up that umbrella so that it can not blow over. It also can’t really be moved very easily, but at least for an hour or two it will be useful! I […]

Thank you, Dick and Dawn, for the coffee today! Just in case anyone tried to call me today, my cell phone has quit working. Too bad it isn’t a Honda, because I’d take it to Foreign Auto Works. Alas, it isn’t, so I will do without one until it either rains or I run out of […]
