guess how many paintings i finished today?? ...just guess ....did you guess .... really .... guess!

i had the most fabulous productive paint day today!!! rah for that .... the nicest thing about it? in the morning, i also helped my children with sewing projects simultaneously ... i'd paint, thread a needle, paint, undo a knot, paint, give advice, paint, tie a knot ..... two pillows completed by the big kids .... two sleeping bags for two american girl dolls ....(little.e.beck.artist sewed one sleeping bag for her doll and one for her best pal's)......then there were three kid dental appointments ..... and then a painting play date....so i had to keep painting while i supervised that ..... and all the while, 12 collages for me ... that's right ... i finished 12 collages today!!

this mosaic is of the 18 six inch square canvases that i've done in the last week or so .... 8 you've already seen (assuming you've been reading my blog loyally, consistently, avidly) ... the other ten are new TODAY .... and then, since little.e.beck.artist had that painting play date, i finished two more on backgrounds that were just sitting there waiting on my table to become what they were meant to become .... i think these will make a nice display at the art fair i'm doing in october/novemberish (note to self, check that date!) ..... 

and drum roll please ....
