The house smells like cinnamon and nutmeg, the turkey is in the smoker outside and I happily had time to finish (I think) the painting I've been working on for two months. It was quite a journey. 48 x 24 gallery wrap canvas. And acrylic. When staring for the first...

Finished the Painting
I'm breathing again, thanks to Norma and ibuprofen!Anyway, I did finish the church I showed you a few posts back. Just so you don't have to scroll, here's how it looked in progress:And, now, it's done. Notice the deeper, bolder color, shadows and detail. The rock...
Starting at ….hmmm, where?
I'm tired, but my brain is spinning so I guess I should post. Maybe it will give me some clarity.J and I went to Albuquerque yesterday, so he could fly away this morning, and so he did. I then went about my list, and number one was a visit to his mom. She's great by...
Bail Out Blinders
I have my bail out blinders on. Can't stand to listen to the news anymore. Spend, spend, spend and benefit a few, but not any of us who do the right thing, fight like hell to pay the mortgage on time, borrow from peter to pay paul every day of the month, struggling to...
What is it about January?

El Tuito postponed, Painting, Painting Painting!

What have I begun?!
I told you I'd keep you posted here. I started a new piece today.. a large one than I typically do. I'm not even sure how big it is, since i just unrolled the canvas and started painting. I think it's probably about 16 inches wide and maybe 24 or even 30 high. I'm...
painting in paradise!
ok, so it took me two weeks and the stress is finally beginning to melt a way. A painting (commissioned one) that I started the day after I arrived is finally ready to go (no pic here as I need to add more once it's stretched) , a second done, (Here, "Field of...
