OK, I GIVE UP!


"Over the Edge" 6"x6" oil landscape $95.


Today wasn't an especially great painting day. I wiped off two paintings. I think that the problem was that I just didn't have a real clear idea of what I wanted to paint. So, I decided to paint this 6x6 from a plein air painting that I had. I had such a great reaction to the larger painting that I thought I should offer a smaller version for the lucky person that buys this one.

I was going to close this blog down, but..... Everyone seems to have this link. I wanted to have my blog from my website, but I guess it will be both. If you are reading this, you could go to my website and check out the blog there. Same as here, but it is a nice web site. At least, I think so.

I also got some great news last night. I found out that one of my paintings (the one below) won an honorable mention at Randy Higbee's 6" Squared show. This is the third time in his three shows.



It looks great in Randy's floater frame doesn't it! If you haven't been following this show you really should see it on facebook. Look up Randy Higbee where he is posting several of the paintings. I also had one of my four paintings featured in the advertising, below the one of Crystal Cove (the old beach houses). I had planned on being online last night to watch the awards, but my computer wasn't working to well. I found out later from a technician that I called that I had the switch turned off to my scrolling pad. Such a techie I am. I didn't even know there was a switch.
Talk to you all later. I hope that I have a much better painting day tomorrow. Sometimes that's just the way it goes.
