June 29th, A Little Deer

 Yes, I do love to paint everyday. And it helps to have something to paint!  And that is exactly why I love doing my "30 In 30" Daily Painting projects, because I KNOW what I'll be painting every day- makes it so great and easy, well, not EASY, but it makes the process so much more smooth because I have everything set up and I know what I'm going to be doing.

And so, I also love it when things like this happen, when my sister Colleen sends me many photos of the fawns hanging out in her backyard, and I am hooked on the images and shapes of them, and so I HAVE to paint them!  Just like the ducklings!  Not done with those either!

So here's a little deer~

June 26, It's My BIRTHDAY! And I'd like your DOGS!

Hi there!
yes, it's my birthday, and I'm not shy about saying I think it's a big deal and I like celebrating it and having people over and having songs sung to me and all that, though I can't eat cake unless it's gluten free so I might opt for potatoe chips instead!

SO if you're trying to figure out what might be a nice thing to send me, just SEND ME YOUR DOG PHOTOS!!

That's all I need!

 

Painting Victor 30 Dogs 2014

I was looking through my youtube channel to show my summer camp kids some videos of how I paint, because I wanted to show them how to use their brushes and not make big piles of paint... more on that in other posts!

And I just thought this was a kind of fun fast video showing how I paint!  I thought it was fun to watch, as badly edited as it is and all- and you can see just the top of 4 year old Max walking in, and you can see Fatoosh our cat, and beloved Gus the dog as he sits in the chair, watching me paint, and eventually collapses and naps, as I take looonger and loooooonger to paint!

I love seeing those creatures again!

June 17, Scented Atmosphere

 We were able to run to the Minnesota Zoo on Saturday, on our way to pick up mom to drive back up to St Brigit's Church off Dowling for Father Paul Jarvis' Retirement Party, which is a whole 'nother story!

And at the zoo all the critters on the Minnesota Trail were out frolicking in the rain! Well maybe not exactly frolicking but they were so much more out that usual-

This is one of the wolves!

Oh, and DO send me your dog photos!  Thanks everyone who has! Here's more info!

June 11, Buddy, A Commission!

 It's crazy how busy the beginning and end of the school year are!  This is my first official week of break, and it's been lovely!  We also had a terrific housewarming party on Saturday and we are SO grateful for all the amazing people who came, thank you!

And this is one of a few commissions I've been working on- I'm hoping to get to some ME paintings this week!
