Lipstick Llama

Lipstick Llama with Gold Earrings

Oil on Board, 5 x 5 inches, $75.

Ok, this is really an Alpaca. But if I have lipstick and gold earrings on this creature, I'm using my artistic license to tell a non truth anyway. Actually, I look a lot like this Llama. Tomorrow for sure as I have to make a visit to the Oral Surgeon. So when I leave after the procedure, I'm going to look just like this Alpaca. I wear gold earrings but never-ever will I wear hoops, big, small or in between. I won't wear danglers, drops and chandeliers either, although I've come close to swinging from one!

I'm extremely phobic where pierced earrings are concerned. I have the unforgettable memory of Jamie Lee Curtis having a hoop earring pulled out of her ear in the 1980 movie " Terror Train." The way my mind works with this phobia is: I'm wearing the hoop pierced earrings, minding my own business and not paying enough attention to what's going on around me. Out of nowhere comes the man from Terror Train and he grabs both hoops... I won't go on.

The rest of today will be getting everything in order so I can get in my PJ's tomorrow and go to bed! - 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 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.
