WIP for PPF and SS

Good morning and welcome to my submission for Paint Party Friday and Sunday Sketches. I've been busy lately with family so it's been a couple of weeks since I've posted, and there hasn't been much time for painting. But it's all been worth it to spend time with family. My kids and grandkids are coming this weekend to celebrate my birthday with me, so it will be another fun but busy weekend. Here is what I've been working on:

It might take me a while, but I'll be around to visit sometime during the weekend. Happy Friday!

Sunday Sketches

Hello all and welcome to another post for Sunday Sketches! (see link on the right)
I'm still experimenting with this fun style.

I didn't post last week, because we were babysitting 2 of our grandkids. I should have some fun pics to post next week.
Happy Sunday and be sure to go to Alexanders blog to see what other artists have been creating!

Time for Paint Party Friday!

Hello everyone and happy Friday! It's time again for PPF hosted by Kristin and Eva. Thank you to both! Here is my painting for this week:

I'm still having fun exploring this new style. Last week, I was invited to participate in a Church sale held in November. I've never been a vendor before so this will be something new for me! The cost was very low, so even if I don't sell much it would at least help me know what people like, but I'm so nervous too! I've been to these sales before and usually there's at least one vendor that seems to not sell anything! It's almost always the artist! Have you noticed that too?
Well, I haven't turned in my money or my application yet, but I was planning to do that this weekend. I would really like your opinion on this: Should I participate, or give my art more time to develope before putting myself out there?
I'm linking to PPF and SS! (see links on the right) Have a wonderful weekend!

PPF and SS

Hello wonderful blog friends! Thank you so much for your concern and sweet comments about my husband. We are so thankful he is doing well again.
I've had a little time to paint, but haven't had time to work on the new summer of color combo of red and yellow. Hopefully this post will be updated later this weekend with a new painting. Anyway, here is what I've been working on:

I'm heading out to work, but will be checking out the other artist who are signed up for Paint Party Friday. (See link on the right) I'll also be linking to Sunday Sketches later in the weekend. Have a wonderful week everyone!

Gray and Pink for SOC

Hello and happy 4th of July for those living in America! I struggled with the new colors for Summer Of Color, and finally did this quick sketch in my daily journal in colored pencil.

I've also been working on another large painting, for Paint Party Friday. (and eventually my Etsy shop)

I guess my husbands heart attach (he's doing great!) and the fact that his heart stopped twice during the procedure to put in the 2 stints, really inspired most of this painting. It's becme very personal to me, and I know it's not finished yet, but I wanted to share it with my blog buddies.
I'm linking with SOC, PPF and SS and I hope you'll come along with me to see what other wonderful artists have been creating. (all links are on the right) Have a wonderful week!

Another try at SOC

Good morning and welcome to my 3rd attempt at Summer of Color. I started this painting a couple of weeks ago, and realized this morning that it has the colors for the weekly challenge for SOC. (see link on the right if you want to join in!)

It's a good thing since I've been a little busy with my husband lately, and haven't had time to paint. He had a heart attack early Saturday morning, and just came home from the hospital yesterday. He's doing fine, but still needs to stay quiet until the wounds from the surgery heal. It's amazing how quickly the EMS was here and that the Doctor was ready for him and could take him so quickly into surgery. We are so thankful today to the Lord!
I will also be linking with Paint Party Friday and Sunday Sketches too.
Have a wonderful week!

Week 2 of Summer of Color

Hello and happy Saturday! I'm linking again with SOC (see link on the right) and SS. This weeks colors were hot pink and orange. I love the colors together, but they were so bright on my painting, that I ended up adding white and green to balance it out a little. I am still working on this one, but didn't want to miss the cut off.

We had a sad day yesterday. Our precious cat Oscar passed away very suddenly. Here is a picture of him:

He was my buddy and will be missed!
