Tobi

I worked a bit more on Tobi and Framed him. I decided I wanted a companion picture to hang in my hallway.

Tobi

I finally found some time! Karen my teacher who is an awesome artist let me dig into her photo box. This is one of her adorable kitties! This is 15" by 12" bigger than I usually work. I think I'm getting better. I have over 50 paintings under my belt.

Cardinal

As I was not totally pleased with the Kirby's Mill painting, I whipped this out in 5 minutes. I really like it.

What do you think?

Kirby's Mill Medford NJ

This is a painting of Kirby's Mill, actually the actual Mill is across the street, but I like this part of the complex best. I think this is the barn.

Anyway, they have an apple fesitval every October. It was a tradition to enter the bake-off with Lauren, my babysitter...the first year, I won nothing, and she got 2nd place. The next year we both took first in our divisions. We were very happy and excited.

I did this on 11 by 14 wallace paper. I don't think I am totally done. But here it is for now.

Thanks!

This is the September pastel strokes challenge from Wet Canvas.

I like the tree on the left, but I had a lot of issue with the trees on the right. I decided to end it...maybe I'll go back later. Hey I tried!
