Paint Party Friday & Sunday Sketches

Hi everyone! I finished my painting from last week, and I had so much fun painting her I really was sorry to finish!

I'm linking with Paint Party Friday and Sunday Sketches this week. (see links on the right) I hope you will join in the fun!
I read recently that if you have problems with urinary track infections, you could try D-Mannose. It's a sugar that keeps bacteria from sticking to the wall of the bladder. Interesting to me, since my mom has this problem! I'll let you know if it helps her!

WIP for PPF & SS

Hello everyone! I started this new painting this week with a fall theme:

I can't seem to get enough of pumpkins! It's hard to see in the sketch, but the girl is holding one, and the field behind her is full of them! Fall is such a pretty time of year, and orange is one of my favorit colors, so I'm anxious to finish this painting.
I've been reading lately about a supplement called curcumin. If you haven't heard about it, it reduces inflamation, and may help to ward off several illnesses, including cancer and Alzheimers. Since my father had Alzheimers, I decided to start taking it recently. I'm thankful that God has created natural cures and helped people to find them.
I hope you are all blessed with good health! Have a wonderful weekend!

Fun Painting for PPF and SS

Hello all! It's been a busy week around here. Last weekend we had company (my in-laws) and we celebrated my son and grandsons birthdays! I was working on this painting, but didn't finish it until today.

Here are some up close pics:

I started out planning to paint an apple tree, but I had this fun paper and..well it turned out different then I expected! I'm linking to Paint Party Friday and Sunday Sketches this week. (see links on the right) I hope you'll join me and see what the other wonderful artists are creating!

PPF & SS Completed Painting

Happy Sunday everyone! I finished my painting from last week, and I love it!

I painted this on an Ampersand wood panel. I love this type of canvas! It was perfect for the mix of watery acrylics, paper, ink and water pencil. I could easliy sketch on it and erase, no problems. I'm sure I'll be buying this one again! I'm liking with Sunday Sketches today, and I hope you'll join with me in checking out the other talented artists! Have a good week!

PPF and SS WIP

Hello! I have a painting that I've been working on so I have something new to share this week for Paint Party Friday and Sunday Sketches. (see links on the right)

I'm enjoying the process so much; I really liked creating the fun background! I hope everyone is having a good week!

Finished Painting for SS

Good morning! I was at the beach a week ago and I didn't get a chance to post this painting that I started a couple of weeks ago:

I can't wait to give it to my youngest granddaughter on her 1st birthday in October! Last weekend, was my grandson Levi's birthday and today is Ashlyn's birthday! All 4 are in the fall, so I will be plenty busy celebrating and eating cake! I worked on a quick sketch which at the beach and it might turn into an oil painting.

Some Completed Some Not

Good morning and Happy Labor Day to all my fellow American's! Some of my family were here last weekend for my birthday, so it's been a while since I've posted. Here is what I've been working on, some are finished, and some aren't and some I'm at the "I'm not sure yet" stage:

This last wip, is going in my youngest granddaughter's room:

And here is the sketch for the girl I'll paint on this background:

It's hard to see, but she's a fairy holding a sign that says "Josie's Room." I bought some really cute wings a couple of years ago that would be perfect for her, but I've been searching for them in my room, and they seem to be lost. I can't imagine why...it can't be all the stuff I've accumulated in the last several years, can it? I think I could spend the next 60 days straight, just going through my stuff, throwing things out and selling stuff, and still not feel organized. It's my goal to start cleaning, after I return from the beach next week. Ha! I think I've said this before! I'll do it next weekend, or next month, or my new years resolution is to clean this room! Arrrgh! I really need to stay committed this time. I'm linking to Sunday Sketches this week, and I'll be popping around to see what the other artists have been making! I hope you'll join me! (see link on the right) Have a wonderful week!
