nice enough this morning to get out the door just as the sun went in, but that counts too.

Golden Qor watercolor and Golden high flow acrylics. I hope they dry shiny. On Arches 140lb paper.

Sunday edition shows more drying and nice shiny leaves of acrylic paint.

Tomorrow is the last time, promise

Tomorrow is the second and last chance for you to see the Cazenovia Art Trail! I am having a real nice time with some artists I know and meeting some new ones. I am hurting a little less so am psyched for tomorrow.

One more peek

A little digital painting like one I did paint in watercolor. Only available online at a site not yet determined to use.

Good night, all.

And another, for October which is breast cancer awareness month

I had a great time yesterday at the Cazenovia Art Trail, Cazenovia, NY.

We had a roomful of all kinds of painters. Put our stuff all around the beautiful community room. the Art Trail folk had done a great job with maps, locations, pics of our work.

I learned that small sells very well in this economy. sold a bunch of watercolor postcards in little bags. well, they are water colors…

Here’s one, and thanks to friends who drove from far away just to see me. Gee whiz….

this one still needs work, but it’s colorful!

this is a little Golden QoR watercolor on Yupo. QoR is the most saturated pigment I have ever used. On Yupo, which is plastic paper, color goes wild. This one will be on Redbubble and Café Press, along with a bunch of others.

I’ll have cards, mugs, all kinds of stuff available. They print, they ship. You get art in the mail. I hope everyone will be patient until next week. Until then, today’s treat.

See you Saturday in Cazenovia, NY library, and thanks for reading.

Tuesday painters’ day

Hi there. I have been struggling with pain and getting ready for the Cazenovia Art Trail, starting this Saturday, 4 October and next, October 11 at the library in Cazenovia, NY.

Thankfully, my galoot husband Dana has organized my studio by kind. Then he pulled all the paintings from all over the place onto our studio table. We sorted by size, and then I made three piles from each size: finished, more work needed, and paint over.

All we have to do is bag em and tag em. Most of my watercolors are painted from edge to edge meaning they sometimes get mounted. Whew.

Painting is the easy part!

I had a painting which had good bones, but the colors made our eyes bounce. So, Procreate app, I digitally painted with transparent greens. That is exactly what I then did on my watercolor. Stay tuned.

I’ll post that tomorrow

Back in 2005, I think, my friend for life, Karen flew me to New Mexico for a visit to Santa Fe. I was enchanted. This is a postcard-size painting which ensued.

A little later: caffeinated, medicated, in less pain, thanks. And thanks for reading my rant. I always get over it, usually without so much yapping.

And I did not make another art opening. Fucking pain. Anyway it’s here, for sale, 30 by 22 inches. Two months, coffee, watercolor, other fun stuff, charcoal. Please buy? I am whining. Will stop now. Cheers everyone.

Here’s one done in North Carolina

up here in the woods, I am thinking of strawberries

Tomorrow I deliver two paintings with the subject caffeine to The Art Store in Syracuse. You’ll have visit there for the reception Friday at 6:00 pm and see what we all did with the theme.

The Art Store–no I don’t work there–is the best one in Syracuse. It’s on Erie Boulevard downtown. See you there.

The one with the long white braid.

think 16 tons

so now I paint, try to be not depressed, get regular pain treatment

and my husband became completely disabled in a work accident

so now we are two caregivers taking care of each other. It ain’t easy

But we’re still here

And a painting by me. (it’s for sale; can I say that?)

since a lot of folks commented on coffee, snow

here’s a little one. I had spilled coffee on a scrap and drew fellow artist Tom McCobb on it with Inktense pencil. I am taking it to caffeine show next month at The Art Store, Syracuse, NY, US.

thanks for all the compliments

ACEOs are tiny paintings, also called artists’s trading cards. I tried a couple in today’s wonderful sun. They are blurry because my hands were shaking. Looking for comments?
