Getting Reference Photos in Botetourt

Indigo Bunting

Hey Friends,  Just a quicky (I'm hoping) 'cuz I can't get this computer to work .  It's taking forever and clicking on something over and over.

I took these photos and a lot more at Judy's home this morning.  Most of you probably know what a bird nut I am, so I got to see some up close for a change.  This is the first indigo bunting I've seen in person.   I had a photo of a dark bird I wanted someone to identify for me but it won't load on to the blog.  I will try again tomorrow.

Happy Trails

Travel well

LEMONS

What inspired this piece? I really like stripes (and dots) and I wanted to paint some lemons, si I felt this piece of fabric from Mom's stash would make a good background for the lemons. This week has been pretty productive as far as painting goes. The laundry and housework has piled up but I have finished two big pieces and started another. It isn't in my nature to paint very fast but I've really been pushing myself to go a little faster. I have a tendency to paint every leaf. These big pieces are intended for the upcoming Roanoke Sidewalk Art Festival. Anyway , if you want purchase info for the LEMONS on ebay click HERE.
