9" x 8 1/2" oil on canvas panel  $225. SOLD

Artist Note.

This is a weird size and 

 I cannot think how 

to crop it in any other way -

so this is it!

This one was fun for me because 

I can see all the colors much

better, and, as you know...

I love color!

Regarding my computer woes, 

(see the previous post)

they were fixed with

a complete close-down. 

I had to download everything

onto a hard-drive and then

install them again.

The IPad was then able 

to get caught up with  

redoing settings after getting rid

of cookie cache and re-setting

Passwords and Accounts.

Not easy and very frustrating

for this computer challenged gal!

Thanks for all the hints 

and support from you guys.

Jennifer hit it right.😊

Complaining session follows

so don't read any further

if you are not up for it!

I am having problems with

 my blogger site since the 

new update by Apple. 

Sheesh...

so much time spent trying to 

use it and replying to the comments

 from the last post was

daunting, to put it mildly. 

My iPad and computer had the issues 

 I would type everything I wanted to 

for a reply to a comment

 and enter.... and nothing...

and I mean NOTHING!

Finally, I had to do it all 

on my iPhone 6S. 

and THEN have to enter

my name and password

for each one. OUCH!

It took FOREVER...

not that you all are not worth it, 

but, I ain't a saint!

Lots of unladylike words flowing.

If anyone has a solution 

then please let me know.

I would like to reply to my 

blog on my iPad or computer.

Definitely not my phone.

Farmers Market - Pink Cap

Farmers Market - The Pink Cap!

8x6in oil on canvas panel SOLD

Artist Note

I came to an abrupt stop when I 

was passing this stall at the market.

The pink cap was glowing 

with the sun hitting it 

and 

wearing it was a manly man - 

bearded and muscular!

You have seen the type.

It reminded me how 

times have changed.

When I was growing up 

a man could not be even

found who would wear pink in any form.

I went over and bought some sweet onions

and told him I liked his cap color.

He told me very proudly 

he was wearing

it to support his sister who had

breast cancer.

So there you go.

HOW NEAT IS THAT!

Pomegranate Pair.

Pomegranate Pair 

8”x6” oil on canvas panel $150.

PurchaseHERE

Artist Note

An artist friend gave me some

beautiful poms right off her tree. 

I have painted them in

three different sizes and 

this is the first one I finished.

A bright glowing red can be 

very difficult 

to paint. 

Adding white can cool it too much. 

I used 

Grumbacher Red (napathol)

Naples Yellow

Alizarin Perm. 

Thalo Blue

I used white to make a purple

from the aliz and blue. 

The greens were made with 

that wonderful 

Perylene Black and yellow. 

Transparent Brown Oxide

is always on my palette. 

I looked back at the poms 

I paint every year. 

These are the first 

I have done with them

hanging from their branch. 

I enjoyed having the leaves

to help with the design. 

I have made a little video

I will be showing soon. 

Learning to edit!

Yellowstone Stream

Yellowstone Stream

6"x8" oil on canvas panel  $150.

Artist Note

This is painted from sketches 

I made while on a trip to 

Yellowstone National Park.

What an incredible place.

I have a visitor - 

a very special blogging friend,

Lisa Graham.

She arrived for a weekend stay.

Lisa recently moved from Witchita, Kansas, to 

Castle Rock, Colorado. Just south of Denver.

Happy me...it is a much shorter drive 

and a straight shot down

to Las Cruces on I-25.

Those of you who have followed 

me for a long time will 

remember how our friendship 

developed while she took care 

of her ailing mother 

and then after she died

 I invited Lisa to visit in 2014💙

Then I visited her...💙

and now she is visiting me again...💙

I have always loved the honesty

in her work.

Totally and authentically, Lisa.

She is a storyteller with paint!

Here is her latest post and

I hope you check it out.
