Clouds vs. Tides

Clouds vs. Tides, 6x 6 inches, $ 80.

It's Memorial Day and I truly enjoy my freedom.  I'm blessed to be an American.  I'm more than blessed to live where I live.  I know that over the history of our nation and our battles both war and otherwise, many citizens have died for our flag, for our freedom.

Clouds can be so beautiful and reside in the same sky all of earth enjoys.  The sound of tide waters soothes my soul.  I don't get to hear the tide nearly as much as I get to hear tractor lawnmowers.  In fact, Neill is riding on his right now.

Tonight will be fireworks.  One or two families in earshot of where I live, travel over the NY boarder to PA and have access to some pretty good sized fireworks.   I'll have to put Cooper in his thundersuit tonight.  He is afraid of fireworks.  Cookie, on the other hand could care less.

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.
