Mother's Day at Blue Ridge Vineyard and My Mother's Day Feast.

 

Hey Friends,  Reposting this little painting I did at Longwood a month ago.  I painted it just as I saw it then, pale pink flowers.  Didn't excite me or anyone else evidently.  So I made it more colorful.

You can find it HERE in Ebay.

 

Yesterday, I went with the DLP to Blue Ridge Vineyard in Eagle Rock to start our Challenge of 150 Paintings in 150 days !!  Yep, We are really going to paint 150 paintings.

The Challenge will culminate at Ikenberry's Orchard on Rt. 220 this fall.

 

That's a shot of MOI and Linda painting from the sliver of shade at the Pavallion/Stage at the Vineyard Sunday.  I did the 2 (unfinished) in the mid photo.

 

But the best part of yesterday, is when my oldest daughter, Angie showed up with my GranBabes, Lillie and Nicolus to serve me and my mother a feast !!

They brought pasta salad, chicken salad, 2 different cheese balls with fruit slices, ham biscuits, strawberry cake with whippy icing and mini chocolate cupcakes.

I'm on a diet so I ate everything.  And it was delicious.

 

It was the best Mothers Day ever.  And why didn't I get a photo, you ask?  Because I was dizzy and out of my mind from all the carbs.

 

Thanks for stopping in, Happy Trails

ORIGINAL PAINTING OF GARDEN WITH YELLOW UMBRELLA

 

Hey Friends,  Yesterday (Sat) and this morning I did not have internet service.  I called Comcast and their digital recording sent my computer a "refresh" signal.!

Imagine that.  It worked.

 

This little gardenscape was recently added to my ETSY store.

Hope you all had a great Easter.

Original Painting - Dragon Fly No. 23

 

Hey Friends,  I painted ALL day again !  That is about the only good thing I can say for snow.  Can't get out and nobody can get in.   So I can just keep on with the acrylics.

Really have enjoyed it.  Only finished 3 today.  Had to scrub number 4.  So ugly.

The Dragonfly is for auction on EBAY.

 

 

I like this one a lot right now.  Paint Bank Bison #2.  These paintings look so much better in person.  I feel my monitor is really off.  Or maybe it's my scanner.  I need to go use someone else' computer to check what they look like to you.

I haven't decided what I'm going to do with this one yet.

Ebay Auctions and Jefferson Center in Roanoke, Va.

 

Hey Friends,  some new work added to Ebay for auction starting at 99 cents.  This is titled "Old Stucco" .  It is the office for Shenandoah Baptist Church on Williamson Rd. here in Roanoke, Va.  I think it gives the building character but you know they don't.  They want a shiny new place.

 

This piece is also on Ebay, HERE.  That is some mist burning off in the background.  Did I get a little carried away with the colors?

 

And this large painting "Happy Trails" is 24"x36" in oils.  We will be hanging this along with many more at the Jefferson Center this coming Tuesday.  Hope you can go for any one of their performances and take in the art exhibit.
