new Challenge paintings

Hi all,

Here are my newest paintings for the "FOR A SONG" Challenge:








These are so fun to paint.
There are somewhat harder, using
a smaller sketch and smaller brushes.

But I'm not constricted by subject and no real deadline.

I AM getting ready for the ART PARTY.
I just sent off the postcard for printing
and have a LONG to do list.

More on that in a few days.


We did see these beauties on our fence a few days ago.
Someone said they are babies.
Well, they are BIG babies.
The other day we saw four of them sitting on the fence.
Lots of noise and calling out to each other.
We didn't get too close.


WEEMS

I'm happy to say that I am going back home to
 Weems Gallery after a two year absence.
I started my career there and was in the gallery for over 15 years.
I gave my notice after some personal losses when I lost my mojo for painting.
But Weems invited me back and I accepted.
AND, I have my mojo back!


Look for lots of new work there soon!



That's it for now - 
back to studio organizing.

THE PLACE BETWEEN"

I must be in hollyhock mode because
I am seeing them everywhere and want to paint them
nonstop for a month.
This is an impressionistic version and
I think they have a very dreamy quality.
