Still Here......

Sorry, no new work to post in the last few days....
I've been wrestling with a few things, and that has included my painting! I have started a few, but haven't been able to bring any of them to a point at which I am ready to call them done.

I actually made it out very early this morning to try to get an hour or so of painting outside before my husband left for work, but it was  - as my kids like to say - an epic fail. Very discouraging! My days are pretty full with trying to keep my boys busy - I['m still trying to find the rhythm of these summer days.

Hope to have a painting to share tomorrow....keep your fingers crossed for me......

The Old Mill - Landscape Painting SOLD

4x6 inches

SOLD

Another DailyPaintworks challenge - "The Old Mill Challenge"
In general, I'm not fond of painting from other people's photographs, but this looked like such a challenge - and it reminded of some of the old mill sites around New England that I am so intrigued by, so I decided to give it a go.

The Gift - Part 2

The Gift

Reworked this one a little. Okay, it is never going to be one of my favorite paintings, but I hope this is a small improvement. I think I need to move on.......

Home again!
After a loooooonnnnnggg drive, I am happy to be back home. I had a very nice week visiting family, my kids got to spend time with their cousins (not to mention in their pool!), much sangria was consumed - a good time for all!

This painting is another one from my parents' anniversary bouquet - a close up of one of the lovely lilies. Now that I am home I will have to see what is blooming in my yard for inspiration or if everything has wilted in the heat. It is about 30 degrees hotter here than it was when we left town a week ago!

My parents received a beautiful bouquet of flowers for their 50th wedding anniversary. So now if the only time I get to paint here is at night, at least I know I have some willing models to work with!

I've painted many sunflowers in the past two years, but I see I still need a lot of practice.....
