This is a wonderful spot between my house and my Folks that I love to Paint. It reminds me how fortunate I am to have such a beautiful a drive on my way home! I could stop and paint some where every time I make the trip and it would take me years to paint it all.

Measure Up
For me growing as an artist is a never ending battle between
self-confidence and self-criticism. In my efforts to “Measure Up” to my own expectations,
about the time I gain confidence in my skills, I see something that makes me
raise the bar!
I hope that never changes, the joy I feel every time I learn
something new or find a way to improve a painting is such a trill, I can hardly wait to start
the next!

Breakfast Club
Click Here to Bid
Just before my Daughter graduated from Berry College, we met
for Breakfast at Honeymoon Bakery, one of her favorite perks of being at
Berry!!! This painting is my way to celebrate
those special moments of getting to be a Mom!
It’s funny that in some ways we can be total opposites yet for
the most part we are so much alike there is no doubt we were cut from the same
mold.
The same holds true for my Mom and I, I could not think of a
better way to Say “Happy Mother’s day” because just thinking about that day is all I
need to realize what a lucky Mom I am!!!!

Callaway Gardens Paint Out -- Sold
Hangin' Round
I thought this an appropriate painting to get back to
posting with, though I have been doing anything but Hangin’ Around. In the Last
few weeks I have participated in three paint outs and one workshop all while
trying to buy a house. I will try and update you on all the fun in the coming post.
I have recently joined Daily Paint Works and will be participating
in their on line Actions and you can get more info on that by clicking on the
DPW Widget on the right side of my Blog.

Marin County, CA
“A Good Vintage”
Oil on Linen
24” x 36”
The reference for this was from my trip to Marin County, CA with my painting buddy Teresa Madsen.
I enjoyed painting the combinations of textures while trying to maintain the authenticity of the scene. My goal was to create an illusion that you could step into the truck and begin a journey back in time.
