The coffee is brewing.

While the coffee brews, I'm checkin email
This blog is a bit addictive right now
Hope it wears off soon

So I thought I'd put a landscape up for viewing, not sure yet what it will be.
Probably an Ireland painting.
I took a trip last summer with my sisters (2) and niece to Ireland's Beautiful West Coast.
Hauled the painting gear and produced about 8 little oils.
I loved painting in Ireland!
The landscape is incredible and it was a new challenge to paint the seashore and cliffs.

Painting aside, Ireland is amazing for the people--funny, mystical, kind, friendly.
The roads a bit crazy...

Quick Note While Dinner Cooks

Wow!
I got a comment on the blog.
Just messin around with this last night.
So Thanks to Tracy for visiting me!
So I do have a gallery for my work and things are picking up. At this point they've just sold a piece and there is interest in another work. Someone from Philadelphia saw it on the gallery website.
Cloud Nine Again!
But the pics I posted are pieces that I haven't put out there yet. I've been showing lots of landscapes.
This is stuff I do in the winter...introspective works. The cat pics are inspired by Little Kitty who hangs in the studio near the heat during winter. I was playing with texture through brushwork and playing with space, shape and color.

Anam is another story. More on that later.

the potatoes call for mashing.

Okay
Here I am.
Trying the Blog.
I'll post some paintings.
Let people know I'm here.

Hmmmm
What do I say?
Worked in the yard all day, prepping the flower beds for subject matter for paintings.
I think the bulk of the work is done, from now on its maintenance only.

Picked the first spinach from the garden.
Ate a great tasting spinach strawberry and goat cheese salad.
Yum.

Now that I've created this blog, I hope I remember how to get back in.
