A BEAUTIFUL DAY

Hey Friends, Yes, today was a beautiful day! This was the first day this year that felt like spring. My oldest daughter, Angie, came over with her first born - my precious grandbaby above. We spent hours outside and in the greenhouse. Angie was transplanting seedlings for her garden and the babe spent hours planting black-eyed peas and various bits of junk.
Here is a close up of a black-eyed pea. She kept hers together in a mini-greenhouse. Silly!

She did her work right out of the wheel barrell with a funny little bear on the chair singing - "Come and Get Your Love". Thankfully, her parents believe children should be allowed to play in the dirt and run outside. Some kids aren't allowed to get dirty or break a sweat. She will probably do more damage in the garden this year than the 200 deer that pass through.


OK - I wanted to show you what I posted in my Etsy shop last night, too tired to blog about it last night. And with the unlikely threat of Confikker hanging around tomorrow, I thought I'd do it now. This was painted with acrylics on 300lb. Arches watercolor paper. It's nice and bright, using the primary colors. It measures a 9 1/4" square with a 2" border.
Happy Trails.

MY STUDIO


Just in case anyone is interested, I'm posting this tiny painting I did today of my old studio. When I say old studio, I don't mean I have a new one, this building used to be my father's old workshop. I had months of clean-up and painting and new wiring to do to make it usable. And I still need to have doors installed and heat, etc. But I'm still able to use it. My Dad used it to work on cars and woodworking. My nephew, Patrick, helped me the most on updating it. My brother, Brady, put a new roof on it-Bless his little pea picking heart!!! If you read the previous post, you know I was declaring what a beautiful day today was. That's why I was sitting outside my studio painting instead of inside it. Well, I've fooled with this computer longer than I like!! Everyone have a good night! Thanks for stopping by.
