Christmas Gathering

Christmas Gathering
There is no time on earth like Christmas...  The visits by family
and friends, The warm cozy feeling of a fire in the fireplace. The comfort of home. The smell of fresh baked cookies and the laughter of children. All these things are what is so special about
a Christmas Gathering.

You Got Red on My Gold

You Got Red on My Gold
I was sitting here just steeling the show when those pesky little
berries had to roll in. They came to close for comfort as their reflection messed things up.
What would I say to them?   You Got Red on My Gold.

Hang Over

Hang Over
Ever just had those days when you feel down. You can't seem to hold your head up high. 
Some days you just seem to be suffering from a Hang Over even when you refrain from strong drink. 
Sometimes it is just one of those days.

I Escaped

I Escaped
Look at that delicious pie. Sweet and tart just like grandma used to make. Guess what?
I am sitting her saying this only because I am so clever. Yep...I got away, I escaped. Right when they 
were reaching for me I rolled right off in the floor and hid under the table. I snuggled up real close to the leg
and then I smelled that wonderful aroma and knew that I was safe. A hand picked me up and placed me
right back on the table so near that piece of pie that I can still feel the warm heat from the oven. Almost seems as though I am goodying them. Well I kinda am goodying them. So glad that I escaped and 
will be around to tell this incredible story to my grandchildren. Oh no....Oh no....tell me it ain't so they are 
coming back to get me. She is licking her lips and she ain't looking at that pie. Here I go again. 
Splat I am on the floor again.....Give me a little hand how bout you say a little prayer for me right now. I might not be so lucky next time..............

Chosen

Chosen
Why are we in this jar while y'all are out there? I am worried, I am fretting, I am 
a little sad well that was until I realized that sometimes things are not what they seem. Sometimes when
we are in an unlikely situation it is because we are special. It is because we are chosen.

When The Sun Is Shining.

When The Sun Is Shining
I found this photo of a still life setup with the sun streaming in the window. It 
made for nice stripes in the background. I am pleased with this one. Today another
new color introduced. The color today is another Master's Touch from Hobby Lobby.
Again poor pigment but still nice color. Blue Grey. I did like it I will be experimenting more
in the future I think.

Saving Grapes




Saving Grapes
I usually paint with a limited palette but sometimes feel a little 
stagnant in that. I find that without really meaning to I always use a lot of blue. 
I decided to try some new colors for a fresh change. Only one new color was 
introduced besides my norm. The new color is Master's Touch from Hobby Lobby. 
The color is not artist grade but is still nice if you can look past that. Today I used
a nice blue called LT GRAPHITE
I will use it again.

Apple Happy

Apple Happy
I guess I named this because both apples and the color red make me happy. Speaking of
happy I was at a dept store today and a young woman was talking on her cell phone but what 
caught my attention was that she had an infectious smile on her face. No giddy laughter or chuckles, Just a sweet sincere smile. It really did make me smile. Sometimes I have noticed myself talking to someone
about nothing really but I realize I am smiling. Doesn't it feel good when that happens?

Pickled Okra

Pickled Okra
Okra is one of those things which you either love or hate. I myself love it. Yesterday
my co worker brought some pickled okra to work. Her grandmother made it. I thought it looked
so pretty in the jar that while she was working I was in the kitchen snapping photos with my iphone.

I Am A Little Stuffed

I Am A Little Stuffed
I know I know what you are thinking. Your are thinking a little stuffed means
that I am a stuffed animal. Oh yeah right. It doesn't mean that at all. It means that I just ate about 10 Oreos and a huge glass of milk. No really! I am a little stuffed.

some delicious morsel to be enjoyed for but a moment in time.

A Fresh Drink

A Fresh Drink
A little water in a glass offers a fresh drink for this little flower. This painting was very nice until
I did the unthinkable...I dripped it face down in my lap. Yep wet and juicy globs of paint smeared across my
leg but it really is amazing how a image can be maintained even after a critical fall.

Totally Comfortable
Well actually I am a little insecure but you would never think it if you knew me. I always
seem over confident like I am sure of myself but really I am co-dependant. I will admit that
my friend is a little stiff and cold but maybe she will warm up to me soon enough. Oh well as of this day right now I am Totally Comfortable. No kidding.
