Daily Picture - Orange Grove - Sketchbook
DATE: 03/04/2008 21:34:19 / MOOD: happy
We took another trip across state today to check on the construction of our new house. Everything is looking good for move in next week. I'll be glad when that is over and I can get back to being an artist instead of a packer. Today's picture was a thought I had while driving across the state last week. It is an I used to see when I was a kid that has been replaced by massive housing developments instead. http://www.artscuttlebutt.com/file/pic/gallery/10163.jpg

Daily Picture - Nesting Time - Sketchbook
DATE: 03/02/2008 20:59:47 / MOOD: lonely
So this isn't quite a daily blog. I have been overcome by events the last couple of days and have been too tired to post. Check the link for a new item from my sketchbook. Our local watercolor society had its annual show this weekend. While it was good to get together with other artists, the sales were dismal to say the least. If sales and attendance are any indication, we are definitely in a recession. http://www.artscuttlebutt.com/file/pic/gallery/9967.jpg

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. http://www.artscuttlebutt.com/file/pic/gallery/9174.jpg

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. http://www.artscuttlebutt.com/file/pic/gallery/9096.jpg

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. http://www.artscuttlebutt.com/file/pic/gallery/8599.jpg

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. http://www.artscuttlebutt.com/file/pic/gallery/8491.jpg
