Good News & Bad News

What a terrible day I had yesterday!  Computer and internet problems.  I got so discouraged that I decided to just go to bed.  After a nap, I tried again and after about 1 hour of doing this and that, I finally was able to navigate, send and receive email.  This is like having your car break down in the middle of the highway when it's 10 degrees outside!  And oh yes, No cell phone.

The good news is I've been juried into the Annapolis Arts & Crafts Festival that will take place June 11 & 12th.  It will be my first tent show.  I have to really get busy with painting.  I want to paint Spring Lambs plein air, so that might happen next week.  In the meanwhile, I'm posting a lamb painting from the studio.

I've also been juried into Fresh Paint Daily Painters.  The address is http://www.freshpaintdailypainters.com/
if you click on, you'll find me under Art 2.  I hope to post a daily there also. - Brande

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.
