HELLO
THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE FOLLOWED MY BLOG. I BOUGHT A NEW LAP TOP
BECAUSE MY OLD COMPUTER BOUGHT IN 2002 COULD NOT LOAD MY PICTURES IN A TIMELY FASHION.
Many new paintings are going to appear in the next days . I have been drawing and painting in my usual profuse manner. However, the paintings will be smaller than my usual wall sized murals. I jest but not that much.
The above drawing is from my ipad and appears on a T shirt I had produced. One of my friends TOLD ME
that she jokingly said this to the cashier at grocery store one early morn as she went through check out...she had purchased wine and cookies for her card group who would be her company later that night. Wise people go to the grocery store early before it turns into a zoo of people.
I have been drawing a number of things on my ipad and even teaching a class in how to do this using a program called ipastel.
Here are a few paintings and drawings. Some of these were done on a trip ,from car, in a doctors office.

AFTER ATTENDING A WORKSHOP , I TOOK OLD INCOMPLETE painting from the stack of many other incomplete and I do not know what to do with them,,,stack that most artist admit they have...and added images in as abstract a I can get.
THESE NEXT PAINTING ARE MORE TRADITIONAL .
MATTING THESE PAINTINGS HAS BEEN FUN AS WELL AS CHALLENGING. I found that the activity of matting paintings made me ...really forced me to look at what was it I tried to capture or what was my focus. Severall of my intructors used different words but it came down to what caught your eye in the first place? 
This painting in oil, was from photo taken in Italy. I loved the way these homes were decorated by flowers .
Painting on location in Florida. the plein aire painters of OCALA . This done at Stumpknockers using acrylics.
