art progress ... and art in progress .... and my 193rd blog post ... that's a load, huh?


i had a tennis match this morning ... i did not win ... and ... actually i did not JUST lose ... i was trounced ... stomped.... smashed .... spanked .... slaughtered .... and .... the only reason i tell you this .... is ... because ... between sets, the other three players went to get waters, and i sat there ... daydreaming .... and wished i was at home painting ... it was a gorgeous day .... but not gorgeous enough to make up for that match! 

so.... when i got home, i went right to my studio ... IN my tennis clothes ... now, i am a messy messy painter ... i always change into paint clothes .... but did not .... i just wore an apron ... luckily the tide turned on my luck and i do not have paint on my tennis clothes ... whew! .... 

anyway ... here is how i salvaged my day: 
above are six more canvases that will be home sweet homes soon .... the bottom middle one even has some bushes growing on the downheart side of the hill .... 
and this one above, is a 12 inch square ... england map background ... turquoisiness ...two soon to be red poppies ... and a red bud ..... 

and the last thing i worked on was this 18 inch square orange canvas .... that i have no idea about ... no clue on how i'll finish it out .... so .... we'll just have to wait and see on that one .... 

how was your day?  hope you had some bright spots ... i guess the key to life is to make bright spots in sour days ....
