CROSAMIA - AN ORIGINAL ABSTRACT PAINTING

Hey Friends,  I have really enjoyed creating these abstracts.  They express all my joy and hopes.  Putting paint down and scratching designs as I go, with anything, is very rewarding.

We have had a patch of crosamia growing on the driveway in the tiny little spring at the bottom of our hill for a long time.

This piece really captures the colors.  Look again on my website HERE.

LOOKING FOR FAIRIES - AN ORIGINAL ABSTRACT ARTWORK

Hey Friends,  Running behind a bit today.  And have not been in my studio either.

Some days get away from ya, but had a good time with my GranBabes.

When I was little, I was always looking for ways to escape the house and all the nonsense inside.  I was often out in the forest looking for fairies.  And I have no idea why but I always pictured them to be a beautiful shade of blue, like the cobalt in this painting.  Of course their skin and limbs were translucent and shone from within.  Sadly, I never found a single one.

Do I still believe?  That's a good question.  Do You?  LOOK HERE.

A GLASS MIRROR

Hey Friends,  I recently found out that mirrors can be made out of other stuff besides glass.

Like aluminum and other metals and maybe mica.

So you know where this title came from.  Am I grasping or am I a lazy schlep?  I have a tiny book that I write titles in every time I hear or read something appealing.

Do you love that blue as much as I do ?

HERE is where you will find this for sale.

Thanks for stopping in.

CORN FLOWERS

Hey Friends,  If you didn't know, cornflowers are the same as bachelor buttons.  I can only assume it depends on where you live as what you call them.

Kinda like toe-ma-toe  and toe MA toe.

But I do love that blue! And I love this painting.  If you do also, please tell me.

It is available for purchase on my website HERE.

NEXT UP IN THE GARDEN SERIES - MEE MEE'S GARDEN

Hey Friends,  The people closest to me know how much I love Mee Mee, so I could not leave her out, even if she is a dog.  I sincerely believe we can love a pup as much as some humans.  We know the pups can be much more loving than some humans.

So I tested Mee Mee and had her pick out some of her most favorites colors. I was surprised that she like purple so much.  I may have unconsciously influenced her by my attitude towards purple.

No matter, her garden painting turned out to be a fav of mine.

You can see it and purchase it on my website HERE.

JESSI'S GARDEN

Hey Friends,  Jessi's Garden does not exist (yet) I had to make her's up.  But I bet if she did plant a pot she would have some crimson blooms in there.

This would be pretty in your home.  In a frame of white or gray to match your couch!

This is listed on my website for Sale HERE

NIC'S GARDEN IN THE BLOOM SERIES

Hey Friends,  Nicolus is next.  He likes the yellow blooms.  Marigold, Sunflowers, Melanpodia!

This is 12"sq. also and available for purchase on my website HERE!

Don't you think Babies & Toddlers would enjoy looking at a colorful abstract?

It would mean about the same to them as a picture of ducks or animals.  The colors are what draw their attention.  It would look fab in a frame the same color as the bed.

PAINTING ON TERRA SKIN

Hey Dear Friends,  Normally on Friday nights I'm busy with my GranBabes or the First Friday Art Walk in DT Roanoke, Va.  But tonight is different because I have a cold and the worst nose ever.  The air is so dry because the heat runs constantly when it is 3 degrees outside and that does nothing for your sinus'.  I have water boiling on low to help a little.

Painted this bright happy little Spring Time painting last week.  A little at a time, between visiting my Sister and Nephew in the hospital.  He has Pneumonia and other stuff, poor Baby.

I also painted some original art work Cards which are listed in my EBAY STORE. Most are still life's with flowers and fruit and cups.

The rabbits and some others will soon be on Daily Paint Works and Ebay. Check them out.  Any painting in my store can be gift wrapped and sent straight to your recipient.  No Charge.

Hoping to be working on some abstracts soon.

Until then HAPPY TRAILS
