Still showing some favorite florals! I never tire of painting flowers. They add so much to our lives and I love to work with all the different colors and textures and add something of myself into the interpretation.

The painting is in a solid wood molded frame.

My husband and I don’t give gifts that we haven’t first discussed. Usually I just order something for me for Christmas and put his name on the package. He tells me what to get locally. Since we have that arrangement neither one of us has an ugly Christmas sweater. Neither family has ever given us one of those either.
Tomorrow I am going to a club to Line Dance and the owners want everyone to dress up in an ugly Christmas sweater. Well, I am not going shopping for one so that’s that. Anyway, our class has nice white fur neckline cuffs and wrist cuffs. We decided to show up in those with a red shirt. Should be great fun!

My husband calls me every once in a while to check on things and stop me from working for a few minutes. Today I had a fun thing to tell him. I am especially tired today but still at my work. I practically fell into my oil painting today which would have been a horrible mess. I will never forget the time I saw an art student actually sit in her palette. Glad I always stand up.
Anyway, the funny thing that happened today was at lunch. I always fix a sandwich and take it and a drink to our bedroom so I can watch a video. Today when I reached for my drink it was a bottle of mustard. I can’t believe I brought that back instead of my drink. Tired, tired, tired!

Line Dancing was great as always! It took my mind off of the huge plumbing bill we had to pay. Now my car is in the shop but it is just routine stuff, I hope!
Cheers! The light is coming out so now I can head for the studio.

Be Careful about what you say to an Otter…
Please check out one of my latest Youtubes and send it to Stumbleupon!
My husband is always up early on the week-end so he can observe the wildlife by the New River.
Today he saw an impressive array of cormorants, one osprey, a flock of house sparrows, otters, and a lot of other birds that I don’t remember. He has left again for a walk.
He told me that one time he tried to imitate the sound he heard from the otters in the river and they turned and gave him a menacing look! He uses his own bird calls all the time but he decided he better not talk to the otters. They obviously didn’t like what he said!

Staunton Theater Ghost Story
Yesterday I wrote about the little girl that haunts a Staunton Virginia theater. There is a little more to the story and another story about a male ghost on the premises!
Sometimes rolls of coins would disappear and then show up in stacks and patterns in the projectionist room. It looked as though the ghost was playing with them. The girl seemed to be most active in the upper story and the projectionist room.
A tall man dressed in a Victorian suit has been seen in what was the orchestra pit. The suit did not fit. It was too tight across the shoulders. As I mentioned yesterday, the theater was originally an opera house.
I found this story online at Ghosts of America.

Staunton Asylum Ghost Story
In my search for ghost stories I am surprised at how many of them are in Staunton, Virginia! I guess there are a lot of creepy places there!
There is a haunted asylum there that is infamous for a doctor that use to cleanse his patients by torture! It was shut down many years ago but people claim they still hear screams and thumps in the building. One father and son actually video taped their experience.
I don’t know what to think about the tape but it is a great ghost story!
I found this story on Deletion Quality.net
Life with The Word and Bird Man – Clyde Kessler
I work at home and I do mean work. Now that I am selling my artwork full-time I get up and work hard at promoting my paintings online. I am working harder since I retired from teaching at Radford University. I knew that would happen.
My husband works at V.P.I. and S.U. in Government Documents. Like any office, there are times when workers can take a break, especially if there is a party.
So today I got up and started to work right away and then decided to take a little break! Time for me to stand around the water cooler for a little while or celebrate a pretend birthday!
My husband is always glad when I let up a little. Two days ago a blood vessel in my right eye broke when I lifted my easel. My doctor said that if you take aspirin and then lift things the strain can cause that to happen. Next time I need to take something for soreness, I am taking Advil, which is what he suggested.
