A Hair Out Of Place

A Hair Out Of Place
No really. I know he looks a little strange with all that wild hair but that is
how he really looks. A little scruffy around the edges. Still....someone loves him.
I am glad that on those days when I look a little scruffy someone sees past the messiness
because all they know is that they love me...even on a bad day.

Thinking About A Nap

Thinking About A Nap
I always want to paint cats. Big or small does not matter just as long
as it is a furry creature which purrs.
Some days as an artist you just like what you have painted...
Some days you don't...
I will just let you guess which kind of day this was for me...

The Beach Hut

 The Beach Hut
I have never been on a cruise to a far away place but I do think it is somewhere I would really like to go.
I love the look of the tall palm trees swaying in the breeze. In fact I like the feel as the gentle wind
brushes across my moist damp skin glistening in the summer sun. Really the only places I have ventured to the beach is at Destin, Florida and Gulf Shores, Alabama both beautiful in their own way. Oh yes and I for got the beautiful San Diego where palm trees are everywhere. Anyway This is the painting of the day. Hope you enjoy.I have been painting on these little 6x6 gallery wrapped canvas....Love them. The side view which they allow is wonderful....

Blowin Smoke

Blowin Smoke
 When We lived in Wyoming my husband became obsessed with trains. They were so long and 
interestering as they meandered across the mountainsides. One day we were driving along I-80 and my husband was driving. We passed a trooper who had a car pulled over and he pulled out right behind us with blue lights flashing. As he walked up to our window and peered in he said "Sir did you know that in the state of Wyoming it is a law to move over for stopped emergency vehicles?" my husband looked at him smiling and said "Yes Sir! I know but I wasn't looking at you I was looking at the train". Yes my mouth was hanging open at such a crazy thing to say. We did get a ticket and I was none to happy but now it is funny right?

Rusty Roof

 Rusty Roof
I am experimenting with color focus. I have been very pleased with the results so far.
When I paint animals I say to myself that they are my favorite subjects to paint.
When I paint barns they are my favorite. Does that mean I am wishy washy.

The Eye Of The Storm

The Eye Of The Storm
In the eye of the storm is a place of peace. After experiencing the
nightmare of the wind, rain and sometimes hail peace and erie quiet surrounds.
Sometimes people come out from hiding in the eye of the storm before they must
regroup for the onslaught of what will come next. As I looked at this little church and the
gloomy clouds I thought about the eye of the storm. The church is where some people
fine refuge in the eye of their storm. May your storms of life be brief and may
you find your place of refuge.

I Do Like Palm Trees

I Do Like Palm Trees
In southern California there are palm trees everywhere. Those white stucco houses with those
beautiful rich burnt sienna colored roofs forever stand out against the blue blue sky.
Gotta love it.
I really do like palm trees.
