Can't always knock them out of the Park!

Red Head Crazy - Sketchbook Piece

Hi Myra,

Spending time working is always good right? Today, I wasn't able to get anything to work, so it seemed to me.... blahhhh........  Randy always told me "You can't always knock them out of the park",  so I'm okay, I had a nice thought talk with myself on the way home from the studio.

Not sure about this one either...

Dare I show you what I've done? I really destroyed it! Okay, I'll show you, then I'm going to post the "Red Head Crazy" for my 2nd of 30 for February. 😅😅😅😅

To be continued...

Another day, time to get motivated...

Good Morning Myra,

Another day to paint, so what will I work on today? Good question! Ha ha ha ha ....

I do have a few under paintings started and I've been tossing this idea around in my head... I have a lot of paintings that seem just so so. They aren't doing it for me or for anyone for that matter so I have already pulled a few of them out and I'm going to continue painting on them. Just to see if I can make something happen... Let's see if I can find a couple to show you. brb.. that means "be right back" doesn't it?

Like this... the above is from 2015!!
What do you think? Show you later!

First one for February's 30 in 30!

February 1, 2018 Mixed Media on Paper

Compromise... LoL

Before adding a little more to the flower.

Hi Myra,

The top painting is the first piece I'm submitting to the 30 in 30 for February. I spent quite a bit of time thinking that this was going nowhere, then... out of the blue, I surprised myself. I'm still not sure if it's finished... so I'm going to sleep on it, but I'm posting it as the first painting anyway!! Life is too short as far as I know....

Talk to you tomorrow!

Time to Send Notes

Here's a sideways view...

Hi Myra!

Time to send some notes. Interestingly, I've been wanting to do this for some time, but I didn't know how you would feel about it. I have a question for you, would you like to be able to send notes on this page too? I can make you an author and it can be like messaging back and forth but on a blog. Ha ha ha ha.

 The above shows the edges, this is on BFK Reeves I think... may be Fabriano ...

These two are the underpaintings for the painting or paintings I would like to finish today if they allow me. Sometimes I think paintings have a mind of their own.

Today as you know, the first day of the Leslie Saeta's 30 paintings in 30 days challenge, maybe I can finish one of these for that! 

Wish me luck, I'm signing off for now.
