I thought this painting a very fitting image for the Fourth of July, what with all it's red, white and blue . . . Happy Independence Day! I've posted my progress shots below in case you missed them before -- and just because I think it looks cool to click on them and watch the painting change before your very eyes!  :)

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!

Another Progress Shot . . . and Rejection

Just thought I'd share this shot of my progress on these 3 paintings. Also, I entered "A Moments Rest" in the Academic Artists Association's show and was rejected. You just never know. So if you're a beginner out there (most of us who've been doing this for a while know already) -- you just can't get down or take it personally if you get rejected from a juried show -- it happens to all of us at one time or another and I've definitely had my fair share . . . with many more to come I'm sure.

I've included a couple shots of "A Moment's Rest" all framed up because I thought it came out really well.   

Have a great day!

Here we go again . . . #3 in a series of small cherry paintings.  Again, this is done on Ampersand Aquabord so it doesn't need to be framed under glass . . . or framed at all for that matter.  Thanks for looking and hope you have a great day.

I just finished this "cheery" little cherry painting.  I think it's kind of cute . . . very happy . . . and sort of "summer-y." I have a few other cherry paintings up my sleeve.  I'm planning to do them all on Aquabord, just like this one.  So it needn't be placed under glass -- in fact it really doesn't need a frame at all and could be propped up anywhere, or hung with a little hanger placed on the back.  Thanks for looking and have a great weekend!

I really do like painting on Ampersand's Aquabord.  This is another small painting done on the board and finished with a gloss acrylic sealer.

Below is an image of that larger piece I'm working on - it has progressed a little since the last time I posted it and thought you might like to see.  Until the next time I post -- I hope all you American's have a joyful Fourth of July!
