"TWISTERS - ROUTE 66"

Twisters Soda Fountain is located in Williams, AZ on

old Route 66. You may remember the pink car I've painted

more than once with the Icekreme license plate. 

That car is parked in front of Twisters. 

I've wanted to paint the sign for some time so here it is. 

I've drawn out a much larger version to paint we'll see if it happens.

"CARIBBEAN CRUISE"

I love this trike. It was sitting in front of Artisans Market

on Lincoln Ave. It was a bright sunny day so I snapped 

a few shots. I'll be painting it again because I love the 

shadow so much.

"LOST WAGES - HITCHIN' POST"

12" X 12" 

OIL ON PANEL

I might be switching website providers. If I disappear for 

awhile that's why. I hate the thought of starting over and constructing

an entire new site but it's possible it could be a good move 

or then again it could be a total disaster. 

The blog should continue if I can keep it all together. 

Computer time is not my thing - painting is!!!

Thanks

"THE CLASSICS"

18" X 24" oil on panel

I don't think this needs any explanation let me know

if it's truly unclear. Might be hard to see on the blog.

I was unsure about this painting but now I love it.

My hubby came up with the title weeks ago and it

took this long to figure out how to paint it.

"DE - TAIL"

HAPPY FRIDAY THE 13th

Here's a detail of a piece called "THE CLASSICS"

You may have to wait until monday for the rest. 

I'm sure you're in suspense.

Thanks and have a fabulous weekend!

"FLANNEL AND LACE"

I had to work the gallery on Sunday, if you know

me you know how much I hate being stuck inside all

day. I brought my paints and completed this little 

sweetie on Sunday. She's a keeper.

Thanks a bunch!

"CRUISERS"

I painted this outside the gallery

during the June 6th first friday artwalk. 

I hadn't painted for a crowd in awhile so I thought it was

time to give it a go. 

Thanks!

"REVIEW"

Here's my review of the last 9 paintings. It's really hard to fit 

any more because of the odd sizes. 

Sorry for the sporadic posts I've been working on larger

paintings and trying to decide what paintings to enter in some

shows. The shows cost some dough so you start to question

 whether it's worth the risk and if so what do you chose to

enter. That's the deal for now. It rained today what a treat!

Thanks for following you know I appreciate the thoughts.

"BOTANIC PARK"

SINGAPORE BOTANIC PARK ORCHID GARDENER

I've started to look through my Singapore photos. Hard to 

believe that in 2000 I was still shooting with film. 

I must've shot 20 rolls. On occasion when I'm stuck I 

might give Singapore a go. We'll see. 

Thanks for following and commenting too.

1986 LONG BEACH, CA

"SINGAPORE"

"BABY IT'S HOT OUTSIDE"

I visited Singapore a number of years ago. My husband

was working there so I thought I'd hop a plane and visit.

I brought 3 books to read - I got to Tokyo having read all

my books - didn't have enough yen to buy anymore(this was before

cell phones and heavy credit card usage - hard to believe I know)

I had to endure a delayed flight - nothing to read - and then I had to get 

on another flight just about as long as the first.

Meanwhile, we were all stuck in a huge holding tank - so when they 

announced the plane was boarding there was total chaos.

The airline attendant didn't call seat rows 

it was literally a free for all.

If these passengers could've brought their chickens 

they would've. An experience like no other. Sit where ever you like.

I got to Singapore - where it is against the law to chew gum

it's true - and it was 104 degrees(on a cool day).

What was I thinking??????!!!!!!!!!!

I lived through it but did'nt want to get on a flight home 2 weeks later.

To this day a flight to Paris is nothing in comparison. 

Got home and there were raccoons in my house due to the cat door.

The cats were gone - my house was a mess and my cat sitter

was mortified to say the least. I guess I had to pay her anyway.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Thanks a bunch

"DAISY" SOLD

"20 MILE ROAD"SOLD

I have so many cow portraits I really didn't need another 

but I love to paint them. This one is available - let me know

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Thanks for following I hope you enjoyed this 

weeks installment. It's nice to mix it up.

Have a great weekend and thanks for following.

"JACK----"

"RABBIT"

OK - so one of my followers mentioned a jack rabbit

and I thought painting a jack rabbit would be fun and challenging.

Well that's putting it mildly. 

 I've only seen 3 jack rabbits in my life and they don't stick around

long for any kind of photo op. 

I've been busy painting and wiping - painting and wiping. 

It's been a no go, frustrating time for sure.

We went away for 3 weeks and when I got back all

hell broke loose. Well that's another story. 

I'm back and I'll try to get it together!

Thanks for following and waiting.
