I’ll have to work on the face more tomorrow. I keep making it more and more of a blob right now.

The first year in Apalach, I only went to Coastline RV Resort to dump my tanks and fill water. I’d gone to St. George Island a few times, but they don’t want you to fill your fresh water tanks. The camp hosts allow it, but the Rangers say no. [Disclaimer: This […]

Here’s attempt 19. I may do some touch ups tomorrow or I may decide I like it just the way it is.

Here it is. After 2 days of absence. The day before yesterday I had a migraine and yesterday I was just flat out lazy. It was glorious. I did do some work, but no painting.

I’m going to confess something. I do not like saying I hate a painting because the ones I hate are usually the ones everyone else loves. I also don’t like saying I love a painting because maybe people will think I don’t like ones that they like. That being said, […]

I was hoping to catch up on the 3 paintings this week, but my gallery asked if I could finish the boy and the dog before Saturday. They are having an art crawl. I’m going to try. I’ll probably count it as one of my 30 in 30.

I have to hurry so I can get my tire fixed and back on the road. It’s been fun Alabama, but I’d like to hit Florida today. Luckily, it is an inside tire on my rear duals so I can limp to the service station instead of having someone come […]

I’m exhausted so I’ll just leave you with the image. Words to come.

I wanted to try being loose and more expressive with my lines. It actually took me longer to do this one than any of the most recent. Yesterday, the dogs and I went for a hike and by the time I was able to paint, I was so worn out, […]
