These days I am trying to paint a little differently. I am loading gobs of
paint and trying to be more concious of where each
 little stroke is placed. These are the same pumpkins I painted yesterday.
                                         Love the look and feel of these little veggies.

I See Right Through You

I See Right Through You
A pumpkin, a snowman, why you may ask. Well I love them both.
Christmas is my favorite time of year. I found this little clear glass snowman at the
local thrift store and just had to have him. I couldn't wait till Christmas to show him
to you so here he is. He is quite content in front of my famous pumpkin. Just sitting
there..... hope he doesn't melt...

Pumpkin King

Pumpkin King
The pumpkin once again and then the little bear so
bold and beautiful. As many of you know I collect hand made teddies. This ones name
is Mother which was given to me by my mother for Christmas last year.
I just can't get enough of them even tho my collection only consist of three little honeys.
I am having so much fun with the pumpkins I bought a couple of days ago.
By the way! How long do they last? You will be seeing more of this little pumpkin series.

Earth's Bounty

Earth's Bounty
There is just something about pumpkins, the cool air, the leaves as they drift
gingerly to the earth. It really does put a spring in your step. It makes you just want to
wait for a moment and smell the fresh air. Did I say that I love fall.
I picked these three up at the local Wal-Mart this morning and after working
12 long hours in ICU last night I just had to stay up and paint them. I am pretty pleased
with how this one turned out. I am always amazed that one day you paint and
everything just flows and falls into place and other days you struggle.
Today was a good day.

Learning The Hard Way

Learning The Hard Way
I painted this for the challenge at DPW
Go to their challenge to read more.
7x5 acrylic on canvas panel.
This was more difficult than you would think. We were
to plan the amount of brush strokes the painting would take and
try to stick to that number.  I failed as I thought I could do it in
29 strokes but did it in about 34.

When She Gets Home

When She Gets Home
He went shopping and bought these plump grapes. He found the wine stashed away
waiting for just the right occasion. The glass belonged to her mother. He sits there
in the chair by the fire deep in thought. He waits patiently as he hears the key turn in the
lock and then he sees her as his pulse quickens he remembers the plans made for the time
when she gets home..

Mama's Treasures

Mama's Treasures
The old teapot has made it's share of tea. The cup
has met many lips and waited as the warm brew was savored.
Now they both sit alone just waiting until the day when they are needed once again.

That Treat Belongs To Me



That Treat Belongs To Me
He looks at me with those eyes. The peanut butter cookie is almost to my lips.
I can already smell it and almost taste its richness but then I see those eyes and I can 
almost hear him say Hey You! That Treat Belongs To Me.
