Busy Summertime Stuff


Creamsicles

So to clarify, I am not copying Marge's paintings to sell, but am doing my own 5x5s.  I only painted one of Marge's along with her video to learn her way of doing it. I don't even know if I'll get into the HH Show but I want to be ready if I do.  Also we have an opportunity here at SCR to show and sell in November.

The ones above are 3-9x12s which can be sold separately or together.  They are painted on canvas with acrylics, totally my design and composition.  I plan on framing them the same so that they can be sold as a triptych or individually.

To the right is an ocean scene I did on a 5x5" piece of wood.  I actually did 3 of these however when I decided to put them in frames I found they were not cut correctly and two of them were ruined when I tried cutting them to fit.  This is the only one that remains, and it can only be custom framed, so my paintings will be done on 5x5" aqua board which I can frame easily.

Busy, busy here in my small home studio.  I have some time though, so maybe I can squeeze in a few other chores that I have in mind for this summer:  paint the living room, put the sofa that is in the kitchen into the living room and vice versa, prune more of the trees in the yard, do some replanting in the garden, attend a few 2nd Saturdays in Downtown, clean the shutters, etc.
