DUH.....Can't figure out how to edit


Hi My Friend, Had to give up  on the previous post with Baby Bella smiling at you.  Was driving me nuts trying to figure out how to add what I wanted to say.

I have figured out a few things about myself but now I don't want to talk about it so I'll wait until the mood hits me again.

The painting above is from a trip made with some friends to Natural Bridge, which is just north of Salem on I81.  Yes, the famous 81 that everyone hates.  Apparently the VDOT got enough complaints that has made them start working on the crazy High Way.  Looks like they will make it wider, thank goodness.

Back to the painting, it is a foot path that leads to a Berry Patch.  Beautiful scenery, indeed.
It is listed on my newish website on Fine Art America.
It is 8" x 16" painted with oil and cold wax on a canvas panel.

More to come and hopefully with out so much aggravation.

NEW QUARANTINED PAINTINGS

S
Hi My Friend,  I know you are busy, like me, will try to keep this short.  I added new work done during the quarantine to my Ebay store and DPW.  The top piece was a humor problem I have ...everything is supposed to be humorous!   If you had as trouble as I did finding toilet paper and sanitizer you may not think it is too funny, but that is my problem.

The other two were done from memory.  Mom's old mail box she keeps gloves and tools in for the garden and the old shelter/shed that could fall any time.  Just junk under there mostly.  Lots of times we put the old golf cart under there.

Hope you will sign up for email updates her because I intend to give away small original paintings this year.   I wish all of you a long healthy, happy life.

BELLA'S NEIGHBORHOOD

Hey My Friend,  I decided to start a short series that will be called "Bella's Neighbor Hood".  I spent 3 months with my new GranBabe  after she came home. 

 And several walks happened.  One, Bella tried out her new stroller and her Mom came along.  Took lots of photos.
 It is an older neighborhood with lots of tidy yards and some not so tidy.  And lots of sheds and dogs and old vehicles.
This is my favorite paintings so far.  Love the blooming Rhodi

Hoping to be at the Tea House in Salem tomorrow to plein air with a couple of buddies.

YEP, I didn't really mean to take this much time off!

 Hello My Friend,  You know how amazing time is?  It slips by with no warnings!  It's been over a year since I published a blog.  And in Feb. my Beautiful Bella Baby was born.  She is only 11 weeks old and already holds her head up just fine and she's trying to stand.  LOVE!

 
Next summer she will help me paint.  I hope she likes to be out side as much as I do.

I have been painting some, not as much as I would like, but that's life.  I had hoped to do a lot of camping this year BUT this crazy pandemic has shut everything down .  Not to mention how awful the weather has been.  Cold, freezing here in SW Va. or rainy.  So I hope to see some warm temps and sunshine soon.  I'll be ready with my paints in the car.


Here is one I finished recently.  A view when leaving Green Hill Park back to Main Street.
