Lavender Skies

This little 3 by 5 card is $15.00 and is a bit out of focus... I'm sorry for the bad photo I'm a bit tired its a Watercolor on Paper.

I was pretty busy running around today and getting a new Refrigerator for our Condo's pool house. Whew! It's in and ready to go for labor day. Of course we will be bar- B-queuing and I thought it was needed to keep all the food cool since its been about 90 degrees. Our old refrigerator wasn't cooling the food and was running 24/7, so it had to go.

We had to take off the gate at the pool house because it was too big! AGHHH... as things would go, everything kinda went wrong, they were moving it and dropped it! It was a comedy of errors. When they dropped it I thought someone got hurt since the guy holding it on the hand truck tripped. He went flying off one way and the fridge went another. Oh well it now has a bump on one side. No worries, its going to be sitting outside all winter, in fact its best if it isn't too nice. Then when we opened it (it was used) it had old moldy food in it... Uggh!! So it took another two hours to clean it up. I'm glad that's over.

River View ACEO

It was warm this morning and I decided to take the dogs to the park so they could get out and hopefully get rid of their cabin fever. They loved it. Missy jumped into the creek and pretty much got wet and muddy up to her chest ( and I just sent them to the groomer) Glock, who is a lab and doesn't like water, hung around on the muddy bank getting even more dirty than Missy. Thank goodness for Sam he is such a good dog, staying clean and still having a great time. He ran up and down the trails and his tail was not only wagging but it was going in circles. What does that mean? I guess you can say he was overjoyed. He wore a big doggy grin for the whole hour. When we got back to the house, I had to clean up the younger two which takes several towels and a little doggie air freshener. I wish they made frebreeze for dogs, they would sell a million bottles the first week.

I painted this ACEO... 2.5 by 3.5 and watercolor on gessoed paper, it's $15.00. I love the lake and I painted this little card because I love water scenes.

Dog Island.... a painting a day

There is this little island (well its more of a peninsula)in Lake Wylie that my friend and I take our dogs too... we call it dog island.
I have painted this three or four times. I love the way it looks in the morning with the fog rising off the water.

I painted it again this week and who knows, I may keep painting it.

this is still a bit wet and the background trees will not be as pronounced when dry.
