Hello out there :D
I hope your summer is off to a good start. Once again, I am hoping to have some painting time soon. Looking forward to summer: the kids being home, graduations, a wedding, camping, gardening, canning and other good times.
Our focus in my household right now is to get "back to the basics" at least that is my plan. My husband may be on strike for an unknown amount of time. A reminder that life can be uncertain and the importance of being prepared for "rainy days" I am pretty competitive by nature and actually look forward to the challenge. History shows us that hard times come and go and I remember my grandparents stories of resilience and self reliance during rough times in their lives. One thing they always had was that sparkle in their eye when they talked about how much the little things in life were the most memorable. As I get older I realize how time seems to fly by. I think simplifying things and getting back to the basics in the day to day will be a way to slow things down a bit.
Cheers to summer, I hope it does not fly by too quickly!

West Virginia Mountains Landscape Daily Oil Painting
"Take me Home"
6x6" oil on masonite art board
My two oldest sons went on a Habitat for Humanity trip for spring break with our church's youth group. I was very proud of them for giving their time and talents during a time that most of us would prefer to go to the beach.
This painting is quite primitive, I kind of wanted to keep on painting but there was something about it that I liked and didn't want to ruin or enhance it. I decided to leave it as it is. I would like to do a few variations of this scene. The original picture is quite expansive so there is a lot to work with.
Oh, and yes the title is in reference to John Denver, but I will go into that subject in my next painting of West Virginia : )

Hereford Cattle Calf Cows Art Landscape Daily Oil Painting
"Hereford Calf"
6x6" oil on primed masonite art board
I live in the Midwest and see many cows. I think the Herefords are my favorite to paint. I love the color of their hides in the sunlight and those sweet white faces. I like to simplify all the different planes on their enormous bodies.

This painting may look familiar to some of you. I have not been able to enjoy much studio time lately so I thought I would post one of my favorites. Midwest landscapes are my familiar and bring much peace. I painted this at the end of last summer. I should be in the studio for a little bit today and hope to post a few new paintings later this week. Have a good one!

This is a "wish you were here" painting. We are not in Florida this spring. Thankfully we are having warm weather here in the Midwest. There is plenty of outdoor work to do, my garden is already full of weeds. I don't even mind, it feels so good to be outside.
Have a Great weekend!

My niece brought me this bouquet of daffodils yesterday. I put it on an antique crocheted doily. A treasured find from an estate sale years ago. I love how the star shape mimics the flowers.
My favorite parts are the stems in the vase and the essence of the crocheted doily.

"Driving in the Snow"

2007 archive special
The weather is confusing, but I will take it. Spring has entered with summer weather. Today got up to 80! It has been about 25 degrees above normal temps for a couple weeks and will be for at least another week. I thought it would be a nice reminder that we are not having our usual weather. This painting is from March, about five years ago.
Another reason I am posting a painting from my archive special is because I attempted to paint today and after all my work it was a scraper. These days can be disappointing. But I have to remember that it will pass and these "blocks" are temporary. Here's to another day!

Seagulls at Sunset Impressionist Oil Painting Seascape Art
"Seagulls at Sunset"
6x6" oil on primed art board
I think my creativity had drained by the time I was trying to title this painting. My daughter looked at my post and said, dripping with sarcasm, "way to state the obvious" mom. I laughed and told her that is what happens when you help your husband build a garden shed, run many errands including getting said daughter's haircut, buying paint , painting the shed floor, making lunch, sweeping the dirt clods in the entryway at least 4 times, keeping one eye on the toddler, finishing today's painting and a few more things that I am too tired to remember. So "Seagulls at Sunset" it is.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Have fun and stay safe

oh, did I eat that donut, you ask? You betcha! Much faster than I painted it. You can see more great donut paintings here: http://www.dailypaintworks.com/Challenge/36B6B4D8-23D3-444F-8E14-51EC31015D13
