Painting as I see it.
This is my dirty secret. Until today, I had never had any of my art professionally frames. Robert Reitz is my HERO. See what he framed at Art on Depot. The war rages in my head. Framing works on paper costs, but there is something about canvas that makes me stumble. May all be a dumb discussion, I’ve sold ONE painting this year, so maybe the medium isn’t the problem. Forrest would say that it’s my problem, along with world hunger, but I think it just might be the economy. Whadda ya think?
The open house and cold weather have slowed my posts. I worked on the small red daylily today, but the pix came out blurry. The “Queen Anne’s Lace” is going to the small works show at Haywood. I’m taking 4 flower paintings and one barn. I know I’m supposed to expect that they’ll sell like hotcakes, but I don’t. It is an opportunity to show them.
It’s definitely time to find some kind of heat for my studio! I tweaked each of these paintings.
Gregg is a good critiquer. He said the right panel needed work. I did this today.
I’ve named the 3 panels “Flowers Don’t Need…” Now I’m doing a series of small paintings (9″x12″) on the same theme. I’m not sure yet where and how I will attach this cell phone.
Gregg added a touch of wackiness to my print rack.
That was a favorite expression of my mother’s for someone who is crazy.
I will have my studio open house from 1-4 on Sat. Oct. 24. It should be a good excuse to drive out into the country and see the fall leaves.
I haven’t figured out what this flower doesn’t need. Credit card, cell phone, car, Ipod, health insurance?

I love it when Gregg comes to the studio. He can tell me when a part of my painting bugs him or seems unfinished. The triangle in the corner has been interrupted. Now the tricky part is to finish the details without getting caught in fussiness.
