Thanks to Cathey at Art on Depot. She sold two of my paintings today! One was this Hummingbird. 
Not Clouds
Being inspired by the light in the sky, but working with paint and a 2-d surface with no light bouncing about.
New flower paintings
These are acrylic paintings on gessoed paper. They are NOT framed, so you can choose to frame them as you will. They are now on display at Art on Depot in Waynesville, NC.
Red neck hummingbirds
Aggressive little guys. The girls do
give as good as they get.
Studio five year anniversary
Five years ago Gregg showed me this classroom in the Fines Creek Gym. It was a mess, but we’ve done a lot of rehabbing. He made it a great studio for me. Thanks, Mr. Livingopod!
Libraries equal civilization
I love libraries. My first was a Bookmobile in the parking lot of the Piggly Wiggly in San Antonio. Here’s an article about some unusual libraries.

A Good Marriage
Architecturally when walls made of different materials are joined, it is called a marriage. This screen- oil on two panels, depicts a log wall meeting a hand stacked stone fire place. See this piece in the window at Art On Depot in Waynesville.
Hand built
All of the old farm buildings were built by hand, with local materials. Those materials have weathered and aged into beauty. This painting of a potato barn is at Art on Depot, Waynesville.
House paint
I’m enamored of the paint samples at Lowe’s. They change every season. Donna gives me coupons, so mostly I don’t buy them. I had these boxes, and the jars fit in them nicely.
I’m making a color chart, of all of the acrylic and latex paint that I have accumulated since quitting oils. It’s quite a range, and some are surprising. I had a huge array of oils, but since ITP, I’m staying away from the solvents. The skills of using acrylics are different from oils, and I get frustrated sometimes. And sometimes we make something rocking!
Detail
I am showing a detail of a painting that I’m working on. It’s acrylic on gessoed paper. I am also using latex paint, the cute samples that Lowes is putting out each season. I’m liking this one, the way that the paint is lively.
