It felt good to paint again today, after a pretty big clean-up post Missy Kayla's visit (my 7 year old granddaughter). We had a great time, she really enjoyed VBS (Vacation Bible School) and even though all the grown ups were exhausted afterwards, I'd do it again next year in a heartbeat.

Isn't this one nice? I took my time, spent two days on it, it "feels" summer-ish to me.

This one was interesting to paint, since I ran out of white paint half way thru, and had to do my lightening with a tube of pale blue grey. Thankfully I had the sky and the water done with the little bit of white I still had.

I have almost forgotten how to paint in oils. My dear friend B bought me some canvas yesterday (YAY!, thanks, B.) so I could get back to some oil painting. I painted this one as though it were gouache or watercolor, but towards the end, I was starting to remember. Now for some landscapes, yum.

It's actually snowing outside my window this morning, not sticking to the roads, but still...snow!
But I've seen a few forsythia bushes in bloom, and warm weather and flowering trees are not far behind. HA. Let it snow.

This was done from my imagination, just slopping away and enjoying the winter colors. Really, if you can get past the cold, the colors in winter are so beautiful. This one will take a while to dry. You'll see why in the close up detail below:

The paint is laid on thick in lots of spots.

I have to admit that I had help with this one. My 6 year old granddaughter loves to draw and paint, so she sat on my lap (lap painting, Yay) and did the white snow for me. But only to the edges. "I can blend, TT!" So I let her do a little of that too.

Here's Kayla painting outside on the deck this past summer. (See the tongue action?)

There was a nice sale on tucked canvases today at Michaels, 5" x 7" tucked into 8" x 10", tucked into 12" x 16", and two more larger graduating sizes of canvases. All five for $14.95. Good deal, right? So here's the first one on the 5" x 7", just a quick pepper, since I still have them.
