Gold Grazer

Gold Grazer, 5 x 5 inches, Oil on Board 

Sold - Thank you


This was painted today from photo's I took last fall.  Not that I'm rushing seasons, but it was hot outside today.  Not that I'm complaining, BUT I had to refill the dogie water dish twice. Not that I want to be a cry -baby, BUT I had to water my raspberry patch.

Ever go to a place to eat, only to find out they don't take credit cards, not even a local check?  Wiped out my wallet.  "We have an ATM"  Oh, that's nice BUT I don't have a debit card.  I'm so careful with my starving artist's income, that I purposely don't have a pin number on my credit card.  So even though this ATM was all shiny and enticing, It would just reject me.  

On the positive side, my granddaughter is gracing me with a visit.  On the negative side, she was with me at the restaurant.   Oh did I mention she is 13?  Wow, how embarrassing can life be.  I'm just glad I'm not her mother, I would have ruined her life.  It's a two way street being a grandma.  You cut your grandchild more slack and when you really need it, they cut you more slack.  Whew!

    Honest story and I feel for you. I have been caught without my money at a store and restaurant. The store was fine, I apologized to the cashier and put it back, but the food was a whole different matter. Blushing remembering.
    MY grandkids are 9 and 6 but they would snitch on me to our son in a heartbeat...the little darlings'
    After all that I want to tell you how much I like your art. You are very good!

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.
