Carin's Smile

This little pup was painted on February 18th.  That was a power painting day.  I finished my large Coyote painting and decided I was on a roll and began and finished this one.  I started to get a migraine headache while working on the pup.  I did not pay attention to the pain level and when I finished, I had a headache that was high on the 1 - 10 scale of pain!

Not to complain too much, but it's taken several days to get back to normal.  The thing with migraines is, you have to take the pain meds ASAP or you find nothing works.  That's what happened to me. Not much worked and I spent my cherished weekend in pain.  I looked so bad, I scared myself when I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror!

I look and feel better now.  I have my granddaughter, Corina with me for the week.  She and her friend, Abbey are looking over my old paintings telling me how much they like them.  Children's eyes see so much good in the world.  Little do they know that the paintings they have deemed very good, are really not that good.  I would never tell them that.

Double Take

Indigo Bunting, 4 x 4 inches, Oil on Board Click to Bid I'm fortunate to have a mated pair of Indigo Buntings visiting my bird feeder.  I say that because I've had the bird feeder for over 10 years and my first sighting was last week.  The male of this species sports stunning ocean blue feathers...some teal in there also. I paint with a very limited palette, so I was challenged to come up with the right mixtures.  But it wasn't very long before I realized that mixing the right "Indigo" color wouldn't be enough.  So I subdued everything else, to include his cute little beak.

June Daisies & A Bee

http://www.dailypaintworks.com/buy/auction/61715 June Daisies & A Bee 5 x 5 inches, Oil on Board   I have daisies in two different flower beds on my property.  I also have more than one area with raspberries, both black and red.  So for the past few days after supper, I've been outside picking, watering, weeding and cutting.   For today's painting, I decided to return to the garden and clip a few very fresh daisies.  I've been experimenting with painting bees and decided to add one to this piece.  What is left for today is studio cleanup and then order dinner-in from our favorite Italian takeout. My wishes for a blessed weekend go out today. - Brande

Business & Art Law take two

Business & Art Law take two 6 x 6 inches, oil on board http://www.dailypaintworks.com/fineart/brande-arno/business-and-art-law-take-two/77676    ï»¿Something got into me with respect to my first attempt at painting these two books,  That post is just below this one.  Everything is the same EXCEPT that I scraped off the painting yesterday because I didn't like the out-come. Someone else did like it and asked about buying it.  So I repainted it today.  I was going to repaint it anyway.
