I don’t really like Oranges that much…


Please click on my Youtube video and send it to Stumbleupon!

A few years ago I became convinced that it is important to eat food that was not grown with pesticides.  I used to think people were over reacting but not anymore.  The problem is I don’t grow my own food so I am limited as to what I can get from the store.  Right now the store has organic oranges so I bought them.  I wish I liked them as much as I like cantalopes.

Enough Offers to Keep you in the Seat too Long!


Every time I turn around I come across some money making online promotion.  I check into them but I am not a fool. 

My dream is to make a lot of money so my naturalist husband can bring about real change in our world. 

He can do it without harming industry but money is power in this world so I keep plugging away!

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist, More People Paintings, and Just to be a Fruit Cake…


Blue Ridge Parkway Artist

Here are two of my favorite Alan paintings of the first Birthday party he attended.  The guest of honor was two years old.  Alan jumped up an down when he saw all the toys to play with!

“Birthday Party” or “A Child’s View” is a painting done from a photograph I took at a two-year-old’s party. I have often been asked why the title is “Birthday Party” since there are no balloons, cake, etc.

The two-year-olds were involved in parallel play and I wanted to paint something that showed the viewer how that age group sees the world. Since they are usually on the floor playing by themselves their view is oftentimes hands and legs of adults hence the second title.

The Rest of the Party is a companion painting. Birthday Party or A Child’s View is the other painting of this wonderful event.

I had never heard of a Birthday party for two-year-olds before this one.

My son had such a great time there.  The first painting has parallel play with-in the context of adult hands and feet. This one focuses of the interaction between the adults and toddlers.

My husband says a lot of strange things. That is putting it mildly.  Anyway the other day he said he was going to make a peanut butter pie sandwich.  He said that because he uses rice cakes instead of bread.  I told him we didn’t have any pie to make a sandwich with. 

He said he was going to make one anyway. 

I said he was going to make a peanut butter sandwich pie because he is a fruit cake.

This is the way to watch TV!


Please click on my Youtube about my Center of my Mind paintings and send it to Stumbleupon!

 

I don’t have much time to watch TV and I prefer DVDs so I can watch a little at a time.  It takes me days to watch one movie.  Now I have found a way to watch shows I like! 

My library has a number of TV series. 

I try the first one and if I like it then I can watch the show the same way I watch movies – at my pace with no commercials!  Love it!

Lot of Babies in the Pool…


Swimming laps is not my favorite exercise but I do like to watch the kids at the pool.  Lots of cute babies today!  I had one of those.  Now he is taller than me.  I miss the young years.

I Can’t Believe I found what I Wanted!


 

 

Please click on my Youtube and send it to Stumbleupon!

I am sort of a freak of nature – a girl that hates to shop.  My mother hates to shop so I think it may be hereditary.    Anyway, I needed a white light jacket for a Line Dancing Show and found it almost as soon as I entered the store! 

I have a lot of different colored jackets but didn’t think I would find a white one.   

Hooray!  I was out of there so fast!

Well, the Movie was Great!


Please click on my latest Youtube!

I didn’t get to line dance after all.  The teacher hurt her back and wasn’t able to go and without her it isn’t much fun.  She is such a great leader.  So I went to a movie instead and had a great time!

Here are two more portraits of my son Alan.  These paintings are very special!

Looking at Me is a painting of my son when he was nine months old.  I did a number of paintings from photographs of Alan when he was young and I was amazed at how he seemed to pose for me when he was a baby.

In one photograph, as soon as he saw the camera he grabbed his foot and held it up and grinned.

We are always amazed at how fast our children grow up and I miss a lot of his younger years. I still have many vivid memories of all that he did and said. I wrote down many things he said so I wouldn’t forget those times. I am especially pleased with the sumptuous light effect in this painting.

Alan on The Couch    Original  25″ x 40″  Oil Painting     $10,000.00

Alan on the Couch is a painting I did years ago and was not happy with the result. I recently got it back out and worked on it and now I am satisfied with it. My son, Alan, is biting his lip and holding his ball for a rare still moment. I spent a lot of time chasing after him as he tried to jump over the sides of the couch.

I am especially pleased with the light effect and the bold brushwork in this painting.

 

Life with The Word and Bird Man – Clyde Kessler

 

Years ago I started taking Line Dancing lessons in an attempt to give up skating. I was becoming more and more afraid of the people that don’t know how to skate at rinks. Well, it didn’t work so now I do both and my husband took lessons for a while.  He has to get up in the middle of the night for work so he quit the lessons.

He isn’t much for going out at night so once in a while I go Line Dancing with friends from the class.  It is great fun and hopefully we will be there tonight!  Looking forward to it!

 

I hope you enjoyed portraits by an artist of The Blue Ridge Parkway!

Okay, I need some Light!


I am on the last layer of a painting I am very pleased with but I need some outside light.  Daylight florescent lights are great but I can see the end result better when it is mixed with natural light and it is very dark right now. 

Hope it lightens up!
