Leslie Saeta's 30 Day Challenge - Day 28 !!

Hey Friends,  Hope all is well in your corners of this world.  All is good here in Salem, Va. but I do wish I was in Key West or even Cuba for a week.

Here is my 28th offering of flowers.

These delicate pale pink heavenly smelling roses are available in my ETSY SHOP.

Still hoping you will be there come Sunday going to be warm I hear.

30 in 30 - Day 25

Hey Friends,  More Flowers.  You just don't realize, starting out, what it takes to do 30 paintings of the same subject.  I think I'm gonna mix it up a bit and paint something larger.

This painting is in my ETSY SHOP.

I had some pretty glads over the summer and took photos of them in various vases because I knew they were not going to last long.  So I think I will do them next.

Stay tuned for tomorrow !!

"FLOWERS FOR A TABLE" NEW LARGE PAINTING ON EBAY

Hey Friends,  Just finished listing this big painting on Ebay.  Interested in seeing what happens.

CLICK HERE, doesn't engage until 9pm tonight.

I felt like a photo in a real setting might show the scale better.  I know this can be done virtually somehow but you know I can't figure it out.  This works OK, has a little glare.

Comments or suggestions are always nice.

ORIGINAL PAINTING OF AN OLD FASHION CELLAR

 

Hey Friends,  This little root cellar is in great disrepair.  I spruced it up just for this painting.  Gave it a fresh coat of white wash and planted the white rambling rose.

"Arbor"

 

Hey Friends,  Hate summer colds and I've got a bad one !  Coughing like somebody that smokes 4 packs a day, but I don't smoke.

So here is the latest painting I found in the studio clean out.  It's a very slow clean out.  Can you see the little cardinal?  She is for auction...CLICK HERE.

Hoping and praying you are escaping the wildfires in the west and the floods in the east.

"Milk Bottle"

Hey Friends,  This week is spring break so the GranBabes are NOT in school !  You know that means I'm pretty busy.  Between my precious babes and my plein aire painting group I can't get much else done.  Thankfully you can post in your blog and save for later.  That's what I did except for this paragraph.  Had to do this when I posted the blog in case everything changed.  It hasn't, Yay !1

So now I'll connect this to Ebay so you know where to CLICK  Thanks for stopping by.

PS - A favorite thing I like about Masa Rice Paper is the raggedy edges you can get.

EVENING ROSES

Hey Friends, I'm back with another little orphaned Painted Photo Collage. I found it in a box of more artwork when cleaning on my studio. There is more paint than photo on this one. I thought I would give my camera a try with this last shot. Trying to give you an idea of what it might look like in a home, instead of using my scanner. This piece is 6"x4" and the frame comes with it. I like this particular frame with this painting, so I don't want to separate them.

I spent the majority of my day scanning, resizing, photomerging and such, all the work I'm going to be listing on Etsy in my SALE bin. I have to get up pretty often and pull some hair out or kick the cat! (kidding)

Happy Trails.

ROSE ARBOR

OK-Folks. It's Tuesday. Almost recovered from the 50th Roanoke Sidewalk Art Show. All artists know what they face with an outdoor festival. The major concern is the weather. This time, no storms or even rain. But it was hotter than ----you know what! Several of us felt a bit on the faint side. But all in all it was a pleasant show. The art museum staff and volunteers are first class. They were out there with the rest of us. I met lots of nice people and visited with a lot of old friends. Just a handful of artists made sales but the public wasn't very interested in any thing other than getting out of the heat. Maybe next year!!!!

Now I'll tell you about this little piece of art work. The idea came from my sisters yard again. I visualized the bench under the arbor (she plans to put one in) and really enhanced the amount of rose blooms. She will have a great spot for resting, reading, or scaring cats.

ANTIQUE CAN

This is one of my mom's old water cans. We both have several cans. This is a really rusty, well used can and petite too. This would be a nice gift for any gardener or antique lover! If you are interested Click HERE. And don't forget to stop by, say hello at the Roanoke Sidewalk Art Show on the streets of downtown Roanoke - next weekend - June 7 & 8!!!!!!!!! SOLD
