this is this and that is that...

I've decided screw the rules of art...I'm going to paint how I want and use whatever colors I want!  For the past six years, I have painted from life and tried to follow "the rules"...no more.  The name of this piece is "This is This and That is That."  I'm not finished with it yet...I'm trying to keep it in high key values mostly...it's 24x24 and I know exactly where I'm going to hang it.

I'm going to try and do better about blogging...so I have not intentions of posting on my other blog...one blog is enough!

hello

Cooper is the happiest little guy...he always has a grin on his face!

on my easel

I'm painting larger, looser, adding more texture and leaning towards more abstraction...16x20

I've been working larger...this painting is 24x24...it is now hanging in our guest room.  I took this pictures with my iPhone.

unwanted visitors...

We have had raccoons living in our attic...we tried trapping them ourselves...that didn't work, so we hired someone.  Hopefully this is the last ones we see!

YAY!!!

Kristie graduated yesterday afternoon from Texas A&M University...Yay...we are finished!!!!

Note:  I will be posting my art on my art journal from now on.  http://debbiesartjournal.blogspot.com/
