In case you missed yesterday's post, I have decided to paint thirty two 6" x 6" paintings as party favors for my 50th birthday dinner this Saturday night. Unfortunately I didn't decide to do this until last night so I am doing a "Marc Hanson" and have embarked on a painting marathon!
So far, so good. I have not yet turned into the mad woman with the knife (palette knife that is) but I am sure I will be by Friday ... I have finished eight of the thirty two and I hope to finish four more tonight. My middle son has a CIF baseball playoff game this afternoon so that will take a few hours but hopefully I will have the energy this evening ... keep your fingers crossed!
I will post two of my marathon boat paintings a day and here are the first two ...
OMG Leslie... You are nuts!! But what a wonderful keepsake for your friends!!
ReplyDeleteFABULOUS IDEA.... I hope it doesn't make you crazy by party time.
AND Happy Birthday To You!!!!
AND Yes... I just read that you and I both were juried in to Women Painters West!! Congratulations, my friend... maybe we WILL finally meet at the luncheon in June.
8 ALREADY!!!! You're making me look like a wimp! :-) Way to GO Leslie!!! Keep those brushes loaded and knives moving.
ReplyDeleteYou are an amazing person!
ReplyDeleteAmazing - they will become coveted works of art!
ReplyDeleteWasn't it you who said that your mom called you a glutton for punishment? She is a woman of truth.
ReplyDeleteOnly you...
Wow, Laurie ... looks like you're well on your way to accomplishing your goal! And each one a gem, I'm sure; I love these two. And the one you posted yesterday ... beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAnd happy birthday!
Wow! My hat's off to you... and for party favors? Lucky guests!
ReplyDeleteYou're a greased machine, Leslie!
ReplyDeleteNow I'm worrying about the paintings being dry on time!
Nice start! Let's see the group all together when you're done!
ReplyDeleteYou guys are all so sweet to give me so many wonderful words of encouragement. I promise I won't bee too tired for the party ... my husband rented one of my favorite restaurants here in Pasadena for the evening so it should be fun! I can't wait to see if my friends like the paintings. If they don't I will keep them for sure!
ReplyDeleteI just finished #17 so gotta go back to my studio. The one funny thing is ... I probably won't paint boats again for a while ...
Happy happy birthday and you go, girl!!!
