Latest paintings, Thinking of Spring

I decided to paint something Spring related, so got out the "stash" of candy dishes and voila, two dishes and a retcangle box I have had forever. I love Gail Anderson designs and do a lot of them. Hope you like them too.

My partner's ATC for March

I painted two ATC's today for my partner. The white rose is called a sillouette rose.
The chickadee is from a picture I have and the Beagle dog is an Edition print I painted with watercolors.
Nice day weather wise here today. My Vet's paper I rec'd from Chloe's surgery said to bring her back for suture removal, well, we did that today only to be told they don't remove sutures now because they will absorb in about a month. Wasted trip, but Chloe is worth it.

Traumatic weekend

Well our neighbor has did it again. Let their dogs lose at night and the same Samoyed that killed my Siamese Cat, Kiara, last year, came into Melinda's yard and killed her cat, Gypsy. Melinda had rescued Gypsy as a small kitten and nursed her back to health, had her spayed, she was totally black with beautiful yellow eyes, long hair. I know what I'd like to do, but don't have the nerve. Takes on a new meaning, "love thy neighbor".

Grisaille from Paint in

This is my rendition of Linda Coulter's Grisaille painting of a Magnolia.
Picture is grainy, but if it's any bigger, then it's too big.
I enjoyed painting this one.

Paint In

This morning it was raining, but turned out just cloudy the rest of the day and in the 50's. My best friend, Marcia came out to paint with me. She always brings me art supplies and unique things, to paint. She really spoils me! We painted on canvas, the Grisaille technique, one of Linda Coulter's , Magnolias. She also brought a Delft Painting Technique. I'll hopefully get these finished next week, for sure.
Vernon made us Pizza for lunch and Melinda brought over a Fruit Pizza, Yummmm.
How's that for a Paint-In? A wonderful day, indeed! Just wish we lived closer together.
Talk later!

Sorrow

We've had a sorrowful journey this past weekend. Vernon's sister, Mattie who was 94 years old, died, Saturday and was buried this Monday. Traveled to West Virginia for services.
It was bitter cold with some snow on the ground.

I notice the Finch bird feeder needs refilling. There are always a lot of Finches here.
I can hardly wait for Spring this year.
Talk later!

Blustery Day!

It has been one blustery day! Sky darkens, snow fluries, windy, then before you know it, the sun is shinning! Like March weather used to be.
We had a little trip to the Vet today. We have two Siamese cats, one we got from the shelter and she was spayed shortly after getting her. Then we found Chloe, and she is just now getting her surgery. Poor little thing, is just now waking up good, so she can walk straight now, (smile).
I know all you out there who have pets, they are like our "fur babies" and we love them.
Talk later!
