600! Twirl

SOLD

#600 should be a sugar bowl, I thought this morning. . . but I also thought it could have been a daisy, or a dog (Brie, of course), or a blue vase. Then I thought, #600 wasn't going to paint itself and I was already two cups of coffee into this deliberation. . . I had better do something. . . so, I settled on a little 4x4" (dancing) sugar bowl.

Other News: Went snowshoeing today and stayed upright this time. . .

More News Still: Brie has become the subject of a very special painting by Kimberly Santini, check out "Brie as Odalisque" here. . .

After Snow #598 12" x 12"

The snow day was yesterday but it allowed me to catch up on all sorts of things so I could paint a 12" x 12" today.

Purple #597

Playing around w/purple.

Salt & Pepper #596

SOLD

This painting has a 'b' side - I have some very bad habits, like flipping the panel over and painting on the back if I don't like how it's going.

Good Fit #595

SOLD

It seems fitting that after painting a 12"x12" yesterday, today I would resort to the confines of a 4 x 4" -

I started working on another 12x12" one today too but it's not done yet.

So Far #594 12" x 12"

I'm planning on painting bigger on a more regular basis. I started this plan today today. . . so far, so good. I set up a few of my favorite things I've painted recently.

Brie, however, thought I should paint her favorite things, a jar of peanut butter, a stick of butter and a rancid stuffed yellow duck which plays jingle bells when she rolls over on it (typically in the middle of the night).

Sharon #591

SOLD

I'm now going to name my paintings people names.

No, no, I'm not, this is what this fruit is called. I thought it was a persimmon, but this persimmon looking creature is more square in shape and therefore is a Sharon - when did fruits start getting first names?

Yellow Pages #590

Other News: Brie, museum security, thought it her afternoon duty to bark ferociously at the telephone book that was delivered to the side porch.

Cha Cha Cha #589

I also brought home a lot of fruit from the store - If I were a dancing banana, I could wear it on my head, I've got that much fruit.

And two itty bitty looks at part of the figure painting I was playing w/yesterday, I like the car and the girl. . they were part of a bigger composition (still are) but I will not reveal it. . . it's got it's issues at the moment.

Go Figure #588

The bowls were so fun to paint first thing this morning, I thought I'd paint the human figure this afternoon. . . looks like a New Year's Resolution has found me.

Discovery #587

I just noticed, it's not any old honey, it's GINGER honey - oh dear me, this model is not much longer for this world, I'm already lining up what to slather it on this week. It's the little things, like honey bees I'm most happy about.

Honey #586

I am surprised and delighted to have been notified that I received the Stickability Award, a Making a Mark Award (2010). Making a Mark is an informative blog with varying topics all revolving around art.

I don't know exactly what to say (write) and Brie, the office assistant, is no help in thank you speech writing, come to find out.

Thank you.

I am sincerely happy to be recognized for painting each day. I look forward to waking up every morning and painting, thank you to Katherine Tyrell for granting such a unique award and hosting such an excellent blog and to Kimberly Santini for nominating me.
