I'm Back

If I was a faithful reader of my blog, I'd wonder if the author went to the moon.  I wish I could report enjoying a European cruise but I can't.  I didn't make it to the moon either.  I had a simple problem that I perceived as a mountain.  I had a bad printer problem.

"Spooler Sub System Failure".  I spent hours trying to resolve this problem.  Talking for hours with a non-native English speaking technical support person.  I didn't know what I was doing to begin with, add to that not understanding the speaker, just made for frustration.  When I caught-on to the tech having me do the same sequence, I ended the call.

Next, I tried spending hours with online msn help.  I used their toolbox and error wizard more than once.  I finally brought the printer and computer to a computer repair shop.  Paid 70.00 to find out they can't fix it either.  So I bought a new printer.

Why, oh why did I not do this 3 months ago?  I love my new printer, although I still need to learn all that it offers.  I'm posting my bulldog painting.  I hope it gives you a smile. - 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.
