A sunset in the right place at the right time can create glorious colors! I want to be there. I might have to settle for painting it. 🤣

For me, painting isn’t an immediate accomplishment that goes by rapidly. I have spent a month painting on a painting so the only thing that I can hope for is progress. Here’s what that looks like.

I love pastel paintings and I love painting pastels. And can you believe there is a color that I do not have and that I need. Crazy crazy.

Holiday At The Beach, Oil, 4x4”. Finished this little painting. A small holiday painting. What a great way to spend the holidays- at the beach!

The beginnings of two paintings. Cake & icing with a cherry. First layer in. 6 x 8. Second, a new holiday painting, 4 x 4. Needs a lot of work but the idea is in. Both are oils.

Skies and roads are a favorite of mine to paint! 😊

More good progress made today on this painting. Finally getting somewhere and I’m enjoying working from the top down. Skies are a favorite of mine to paint! 😊

Progress made today even though I had only a little bit of time to paint. Skies are in my wheel house! 😊

Sometimes the paintings that I create when I’m just doodling turn out to be wonderful. Sometimes not. This is 5 x 7 watercolor. I’m not in love with it. Let me know what you think.
