It's been a crazy week trying to get back into things after Thanksgiving. We had a wonderful trip out to Ohio to visit family, but alas, no painting got done. I am working on a commission this week - hope to post it tomorrow. It feels great to pick up a brush again after almost a whole week off!

Is it safe to say I have a thing for tomatoes? And for shadows?
Now I think I am getting addicted to stripes......
Can't wait until I have a chance to set up some still lifes with the vintage wall paper I recently acquired.

What is it that makes the morning light so magical?
I love the color of the morning light and the shadows it creates. The light seems so intense, and the differences between the lights and darks so distinct. I am enjoying trying to capture it while it lasts....

I am thankful for being able to spend this Thanksgiving holiday with my family.

I am thankful for the health of my kids and my family.

SOLD

It felt so good to paint again today after have the last few days off for the show (and more days for show prep!). I actually had very little time with the brushes today, so I was glad to be able to finish this. Lots of fun to try to capture the shine and the sharp edges of the leaves.
I'm getting ready to take a trip home with the kids for Thanksgiving.....so it will be another quiet week on my blog. I'm going to take my little paint box on the road with me, but between the kids and visiting family, I suspect I won't get much done. I usually come home with lots of ideas for more road trip paintings though....so we will see  ;-)

The Evil Nutcracker - SOLD

SOLD

This mischievous little guy was one of the many paintings sold this weekend at the Sleigh Bell Artisan Fair at the Wenham Museum. The show was a big step for me outside of my comfort zone, but it ended up being a great experience. The people were super nice, the sales were decent, and I made a few great contacts and some new friends  ;-)
Thanks to all who stopped by!

One last one for the show this weekend - and probably the last one for this week as well! I hope to get a little painting done in the evenings, but I can not believe all the framing and labeling, etc. I have to do before setup on Thursday. The show is at the Wenham Museum in Wenham, Massachusetts. It runs Friday and Saturday, November 18th and 19th 10-4 and Sunday, November 20th 12-4. There is also a big fancy party for museum members and donors on Friday night. I've got a big pile of work to take...so come visit if you are local!!
