cooper...

He has gotten so big...he's mostly hair right now...we probably won't even recognize him once he gets his first haircut.

coffee study

6x6 acrylic on canvas panel

signs of spring...

 Meyer lemon blooms...

 blueberry blooms...

Off the needles...two washcloths...spring colors.

poor buckles...

Buckles has had a rough time the past week and a half...first he had GastroEnteritis and then yesterday he had his teeth cleaned...the vet found 5 loose teeth, so they had to be pulled.  The good thing is his mouth smells so much better!  I sure hope this is the end of his problems for awhile.

another tomato study...

I decided to paint another tomato study today...this time only tomatoes...I spent too much time on the glass yesterday...4x4 acrylic...20 minute study.

6x4 acrylic on paper

in the garage...

 I bought this mirror at an estate sale a few weeks ago...it was so disgusting...this is after I used a wire brush, sandpaper and cleaner on it.

After the first coat of paint...it was still wet in this picture.

bird study...

5x5 acrylic on paper
Update 2-7-12...the more I look at this...the more I am not happy with it!  I see it being gessoed in the near future.

refurbished table and what's for supper...

 I bought this table for 10 bucks at an antique store Monday...the lady wanted $15...she said "we don't make deals"...so I sat it down...then she says "fine...how about $10...I said sold!

 I painted it yesterday...it took the paint forever to dry...it has been raining off and on the past few days.

 It fits perfectly between the couch and my chair that I sit in every night...on the table is a flower washcloth that I'm knitting.

Collards from our garden...it's a southern thing.
