Latest Paintings

It has been a while (if anyone out there is looking) since I last posted some paintings. So here is the latest batch. Finished a week ago or so. I got them ready for the show near the Mission in Santa Barbara. I sold the second down and the fourth down. (Thank you kind buyers). I have decided I am not so good at sitting at shows. I'm not thick skinned enough or something. Anyhow at least during Studio shows I am in the comfort of my own little nest, people have at least come to see me, and there is usually lots to keep people around a bit. (Gardens, koi pond, chickens, etc.)

And when you need that extra special love there are always our animal friends who will understand.

                                                         Happy Summertime friends.

Thank You Santa Barbara!

Hello everyone, just a note of thanks to all of you who came by on Wednesday to visit and those who supported in kindness and well wishes. The show went well. Jim and I had a great spot in the front garden area and were afraid of getting withered and burned in the sun and the day turned out to be overcast and the perfect temperature. Jim made new display panels that worked out well. 

 

I know it looks like no one is visiting me at all but we wanted a photo of the set-up and so waited for a quiet moment to take a couple photos. I wanted one of the two sisters Mette and Sissel's booth right next to mine (the guest artists this last Spring Open Studio), but they were always jam-packed. A special thanks to Sissel's husband Rhinehart who took Abby for a few very long walks which she loved.

Here are a few more of the tiny 'recession buster' series I finished in time for the show.
