June Artist Challenge


Funniest thing just happened.   Took the dog out for a short walk in the yard.   She always stalks around the bushes, hoping to surprise a bird or other animal.   I have never seen her actually "catch" one till a few moments ago.   It was just plain YUK.   A sweet little (I mean tiny!) baby bird almost made it, but the Dog was too quick!   She stood there staring up at me, with this tiny little thing in her mouth.   She was growling at me.   It was a stand-off.   Me first saying, "no, put that down!"   Then, her growling.    Then, me talking sweetly to her, "Oh, no, honey, that's not good, please put it down."    You guessed it.   Neither approach worked............after a bit of growling,........GULP.............(yuk!)

Well, the kitchen is in finally, but there are still little things to  be done yet.
I really love the granite.
I hope to spend more time cooking once it is all in shape.
Thanks for your patience.

I did manage to do an acrylic for this Weekly Painting.
It is a "do-over."   I had painted this same scene in watercolor, but wanted to work in acrylic on canvas this time.   Most of the paintings I am doing weekly are $52 and are 5 x 7 inches, but this one, LAKESIDE PAINTING II is 9x12, and is also $52.

ARTIST CHALLENGE 
Our challenge for June was to create an artwork of two related, but different objects or beings.   This idea was submitted by Judy Paden (my wonderful mentor).  Judy was the only artist who submitted a painting for this month.  June is a busy time!   

Only one painting, but it is sold and so beautiful!!
MOTHER AND CHILD, COMMUNION----SOLD (Judy, contact me please)

Stay tuned, more to come!!!

Four words came to mind when I saw this painting: serene, charming, delightful, and refreshing! Your "do-over" turned out wonderful!

Two scriptures came up in me: Psalm 66:12 - ...You brought us out into a broad, moist place [to abundance and refreshment and the open air]; Psalm 23:2,3 - He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside still and restful waters. He refreshes and restores my life....

This painting is indeed refreshing to the eyes and soul!

The blues are so pretty. This painting has such a charming vintage feel to it.
