Daily Painting #179





















This is not a large spice bottle, but rather really small apples. And a small bowl. I think they are crab apples, I have no idea.

Other news; My assistant, Brie, the dog, and I brought some new pieces down to White Magdelena today in Hingham Square.

And I received Carol Marine's book, 100 Small Paintings in the mail today - she's outdone herself again - I swear she doesn't sleep.

Daily Painting #177 & #178





















Back on track, for the past two days I haven't been able to paint early in the day, which had pushed my posting off until the paint dried, which was usually past my bedtime. But today, I got up early and have already done two paintings. The apple painting is yesterdays post done late last night and today's is of the mugs, the other I did today is not done yet. . .

Now off to make a dish for Thanksgiving! I'm thinking ambrosia, put this fruit to more use!!!

Daily Painting #174




















Other news: It's my seventh Cancerversary! However, it's my first year knowing about this term. . . it's an actual word marking the occasion of one's diagnosis, final chemo, something like that - for me it's the last day of my chemo seven whole years ago.

Daily Painting #173


















I've made two discoveries today -
One; if I use the table near the window for my setups, I get a really lovely natural light for hours - now how have I missed this up until now - it seems so obvious?

Two; I've also discovered the 'sell similar items' in the Ebay menu - sadly, I've been really doing a lot of strange things in order to list my Ebay items, all the while, thinking, there's got to be a better way. . . !

Other News: Happy Anniversary to my parents! And Brie, the dog, not the cheese, has just returned from her day at the grooming parlor. But, that's not all, got new pipes today too. . . which, if you've ever had old pipes is really, really, really good news. . . good night!

Raymar Art Contest

Daily Painting #172

























Thursday again - painted in studio w/the favorite painting group - only one session left! Did a bigger 12" x 12" painting there, this was a little one done at home will post the other at some time and I still owe the blog the others from last weekend's workshop too.

In other news: Brie has been featured on someone else's blog. . . it's gone to her head, this stardom, she thinks she's a micro-celebrity. May I remind her, she's still a dog and can't even access the internet.

Daily Painting #170























I set up one still life, only to turn around to notice the items I cast off had a better set up, all on their own. So, I picked up my easel, turned it around and started painting!

A Daily Painting a Day #169


















I started an Ebay store today http://stores.ebay.com/LIsa-Daria-Painting-a-Day- for a buy it now option - one can use a credit card, it's totally secure because I have it set up through PayPal. I haven't figured it all out yet, but I'm getting there. . .
