Sheesh, time flies...

Here it is nearly a 1 1/2 years later...I got out of school and began a career in clinical social work and it's taken me this long to regain my bearings. What a huge change. I hope to get back to my art this year and get more balance back in my life. I really miss the studio!!!

Three New Paintings are Up!

Go check out the new Ebay listings!

Thanks!

Thanks to everyone who supported my work at Artsclamation!
Here's a slideshow of some of the work that was there if you missed it. :0)

Your Turn to Drive!

Here's my latest offering on Ebay:


Your Turn to Drive

Three Little Mourners

Up on Ebay until next Monday...

I painted this a few months ago when the first anniversary of my father's passing was coming up. I think I can let it go now. I don't know if anyone wants a little painting with such a sad theme, but, there you go...

Little Emily

Little Emily needs some whiskers, but after that she'll be strutting her stuff on Ebay tonight. Meow! She's up now!

She's a little 4 x 4 in. acrylic painting. The sides are 3/4 in deep and are painted, so no frame needed. :-)

The Garbage Men Cometh!

This is a 10 x 20 acrylic painting called "The Garbage Men Cometh!" I am gathering up paintings for a show in November and this one will be on display at our local paper as a preview to the show. I'm pretty excited about being in a fine arts show.

I wish the picture was a little better, but I just varnished it this morning and they're picking it up this afternoon, so I didn't have much time for a proper photo session, per se.

I still hope to get a couple of things on Ebay in late August!

Once again, I lied...

but I didn't mean to. I had to study for a brutal (and I mean it really was brutal) mid-term over the weekend and didn't get around to posting my new stuff. Maybe I can get to it today (even though I'm working on the 4th). Bleh!

Stuff coming later this week...

I have actually nearly finished some small paintings that I am going to put up later this week on Ebay.

I'm not going to be posting any large paintings until November because I got into a show for which I need to build inventory. Once the show is over, I'll get back to posting larger paintings for sale. I'm also thinking about doing some ATCs and prints until November.

Hopefully this little dry spell will not come around again for a while!

you think I'm dead...

but I'm not.

Really. I have two new models at my house and they are quite the demanding sort.
Meet Pepper, the shepherd mix and Petey, the beagle.



I was accepted to a fine art show I didn't really expect to get into, so I'm happy about that. I do still hope to put stuff on Ebay this summer.

I've just been immersed in work, school and puppy training.

Stay tuned.

Goodbye to a sweet friend...

We had to say goodbye to our beloved Sadie yesterday afternoon (she had cancer-hemangiosarcoma). We are so very sad. At least she was able to pass peacefully--something for which I had prayed very hard. Our other dog, Pickles is just lost; eating exactly half of her food last night and not touching it this morning. She is searching everywhere for her buddy. We miss her so terribly.



I am working on paintings, but I can't seem to finish any of them. Eventually I will regain my bearings and have some up on Ebay.

Two small paintings have been listed starting at 10 bucks...

"Wheelie"


"Waiting for Supper at Mamaw's"

I'm ba-a-a-a-a-ck! (sort of)

I'm still recovering from surgery, but I've been drawing some over the past few days and think I might be able to get some painting done now that I am not so sore (I had major abdominal surgery...blech).

Hope to see you on Ebay in the next few days! :-)

to all who celebrate...

Millan.net

time flies...

and not always in a good way...

I am swamped right now trying to get everything tied up at work and elsewhere before I'm off for surgery.

I do have some "almost finished" paintings that I think I might be able to get up this weekend.

I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving holiday :-) Not being the turkey-eating type, I had pizza and St. Theresa's Pale Ale!

peace...

a sneak peak at unfinished and in progress...

These should be ready soon and up for bids on Ebay. :-)

No paintings available after Dec. 10

I am going to undergo some major surgery in December, so I just wanted to let any Christmas shoppers know I'll be out of commission for a good bit of December. It will probably be mid to late January before I'm up and at the brushes again, but I hope I'll feel good enough to start being creative before then...

"Tea at 5 and 3/4" up for bids--no reserve

This is going to be a fun little series. Twelve-and-a-half will follow and I plan to do about six of them in all.

thank you...

Thank you all for all your wonderful support on Ebay. It's so exciting to connect with people through art. :-)

Painting is going at a slow pace right now. I have a billion sketches and underpaintings in progress and very little time. So, please be patient, there are many more paintings to come. I just need to carve out some time to get them done. I did get a little done on the 12 1/2 painting below, so that will probably be the next one you see--more than likely sometime later this week.

12 1/2...

The beginnings of a little 5 x 5 in. painting called "Twelve-and-a-Half"...more later.


Greenhouse Cats is currently up for bids.
