Daily Picture - Onions and Asparagus - Miniature
DATE: 02/27/2008 19:05:48 / MOOD: in love

Most of what I have been doing lately is working in miniature.  That has allowed me to pack most of my "art stuff" in preparation for a move in a couple of weeks.  Everyday more goes into boxes and crates but I have to have something to work with.  Right now it is little WC blocks and my sketch book.   Todays painting came to me in the grocery store the other day.  I saw these beautiful purple onions and bought them just to paint.  I added the asparagus for composition's sake.  I am not usually a still life painter, but lately have been inspired by my groceries.

Daily Picture - Osprey - Miniature
DATE: 02/25/2008 18:34:23 / MOOD: lonely

Today's picture is another of Florida's birds.  I have seen osprey nests next to new buildings that lost their roof's in hurricanes.  The nests remained firmly in place.  Ospreys are beautiful, graceful birds and I always root for the bird when I see one dive for its supper.

Daily Picture - Scrub Jay - Miniature
DATE: 02/24/2008 19:56:24 / MOOD: don't know

 Today's post  is a painting of one of Florida's many endangered species.  This is a scrub jay and it's habitat is in great demand to be changed into human habitat.  It likes high and dry areas which also is in great demand by the over-developers.  It is difficult to see them except in wildlife preserves.  Check this link.  It is a 5X7" watercolor.

Daily Picture - Cut Pepper - Miniature
DATE: 02/23/2008 18:36:18 / MOOD: lonely

We took another cross state trip to check on our house construction yesterday and got back today.  Our new neighbors had a Florida Low-boil dinner.  It was all you could eat oysters, shrimp, clams, crab claws, and all the good stuff to go with.  A palm tree had to be removed from our property and the builder harvested the heart and we had swamp cabbage soup.  Today's post a mate to one I posted a week or so ago.

Daily Picture - Palm and Heron
DATE: 02/20/2008 18:16:19 / MOOD: don't know

My daily post is a monotype that is a bit darker than what I usually do.  That is the interesting thing with the monotype process.  You get a lot of surprises.  The link is below.

Daily Picture - Lizard Maze
DATE: 02/19/2008 21:45:23 / MOOD: happy

Today's post is another monotype that I worked on yesterday.  I started it awhile back but didn't like it.  Once I added the textures, though, it has grown on me.   I try to make my monotypes with a Florida theme.  Anyone who knows Florida, is familiar with the many lizards we have.  I love watching their antics.

Daily Picture - Face Angles
DATE: 02/18/2008 18:37:31 / MOOD: lonely

It has been a while since I was able to get to our museum and work in the print studio. It felt good. I have been so busy sorting and packing for an impending move that my art has taken a back seat. This painting sort of reflects my mood today. I keep thinking of every thing that needs to be done and am somewhat overwhelmed.  Printmaking opens me up to abstraction which is not my forte'. Today it also worked as a distraction.

It sure would be nice if the image insert would work everyday
instead of intermittently.
