I'm going to start posting on my blogspot on a weekly basis, making my blog my art journal. I'm going to try and make Saturday the day to do this, but I wasn't able to spend the time day before yesterday....I was busy with my kids. After the usual Saturday cleaning and laundry was done I took my son Hunter and a couple of his friends to a youth dance in Harrisburg, for which he was so happy and grateful. So its early Monday morning....
Last week I finished a commission for a man who found me through E-bay...It is a painting of a couple of his SAABS in front of the repair shop he takes them to. It was fun. It was a cheerful painting to do, with the trees behind the shop turning colors and the sunlight...
I also started a chair painting which I think will be a good one, as well as starting another commissioned painting for another nice person who found me through E-bay...a painting of his two daughters, happy with arms around eachother.
My husband found this neat little Arts and Crafts style frame months ago. I have been meaning to do a painting for it to sell on E-bay, and then I just remembered a painting of a young tree in a meadow that I did actually a few years ago, that is just the right fit for this frame. I was very glad I remembered it, because its perfect for the frame. I am launching it on a 7 day auction starting Tuesday night. I remember vividly that day in the Uinta Mountains near Spirit Lake when I took the picture that I painted from. The little tree just inside the meadow looked so brave and I wanted to paint it.
Sooooo this week. My painting plans are to work on the commissioned painting I started last week, finish a couple of paintings that are almost done, and start some abstract landscapes in fall colors. I am itching to spend some of my time this way because of what I see all around me right now every time I go anywhere or step outside....I feel so inspired...Hmmmmm Autumn.
