Lipstick Llama

Lipstick Llama with Gold Earrings

Oil on Board, 5 x 5 inches, $75.

Ok, this is really an Alpaca. But if I have lipstick and gold earrings on this creature, I'm using my artistic license to tell a non truth anyway. Actually, I look a lot like this Llama. Tomorrow for sure as I have to make a visit to the Oral Surgeon. So when I leave after the procedure, I'm going to look just like this Alpaca. I wear gold earrings but never-ever will I wear hoops, big, small or in between. I won't wear danglers, drops and chandeliers either, although I've come close to swinging from one!

I'm extremely phobic where pierced earrings are concerned. I have the unforgettable memory of Jamie Lee Curtis having a hoop earring pulled out of her ear in the 1980 movie " Terror Train." The way my mind works with this phobia is: I'm wearing the hoop pierced earrings, minding my own business and not paying enough attention to what's going on around me. Out of nowhere comes the man from Terror Train and he grabs both hoops... I won't go on.

The rest of today will be getting everything in order so I can get in my PJ's tomorrow and go to bed! - Brande

The Rare Snowman

The Rare Snowman, 4 x 4 inches, Oil on Panel Sold - Thank you! It's a warmer day today and the one snowman in the neighborhood is not faring well. In addition to melting he's got a problem with one of his twig arms. I take Cooper & Cookie for short walks several times a day and when I saw what was happening to this guy, I knew I had to make a painting of him. While returning home, I pondered how many snowmen are not created because of video games. I know that I don't see them much at all.

Two Snow Cones

4 x 4 inches, Oil on Gessoboard Sold - Thank you Every now and then, I get humbled at the easel. Like all artists, I have a love-hate relationship with it. This painting was inspired by a recent trip to the doctors. I've seen these shacks many times and each time I say: "I need to pull over and get a picture" followed by, "I'll do it next time." Sound familiar? Well yesterday, I pulled over and got the picture. When I got home, I was very excited to begin painting. The Easy-Peasey, this will be a piece of cake attitude was as thick as cigar smoke. I started out very worthy of my swelled head, but believe me, it went downhill. It's amazing how quickly I can turn on myself. It started by reminding myself how much housework I have, before I took my next breath, I reasoned that I could have made a nice dessert, cleaned the house, changed the oil in my car and put on a new roof on the house. I walked out of the studio convinced I

Nuthatch for Spring

"Nuthatch Calls for Spring" 5 x 5 inches, Oil on Board - Sold OK, update on the weather for the Finger Lakes area of NY. Snow-COLD...not just cold! I've been complaining about winter and just like any other time I complain about weather, nothing changes. So I decided to paint a little bird today. Lots of them still at my feeders. I've been saving my dryer trap lint for them to soften the nests that are sure to be built. I'll be putting that out in an netted bag in two weeks. So Spring will get here...just not in the next two weeks or so.
