Somehow I managed to not only finish all of the things on my TO DO list today, but also finish three paintings ... today. Everyday this week I have been slowly "crossing off" my TO DO list and I never imagined I would finish everything. Yeah!

I leave tonight for Alaska. I am going on an Alaska cruise with my parents and sisters and sister-in-law. Yes, we are leaving the boys home to deal with the kids. And hurricane Irene, as is the case with my youngest sister. I will post while I am cruising and take millions (ok, maybe not millions but I am sure hundreds) of pictures. Can't wait to photograph all of those fishing villages!

A Day in Balboa

"A Day In Balboa"

Oil, 6" x 6" on canvas.

Sold.

Now that I am back in town I am deeply committed to finishing the paintings for my "Headlines" show. I have all of the headlines selected (from the South Pasadena Review newspaper in the 1920's, 30's and 40's) and the inspiration photos taken so all I am doing now is painting! I will not post any of the finished paintings until the show opens ... so it will be another month before they are posted here.
I am trying to also complete a daily painting. I am doing a show in Balboa on May 16th so I am trying to complete some small pieces for that show. Be prepared to see lots of boats and coastal scenes this month. It might be a while before you see flowers again!

Balboa Ferris Wheel

Pin It

"Balboa Ferris Wheel"

14" x 11"

Sold.

I spent most of the day getting ready for our upcoming trips ... booking rental cars, renewing passports, changing airline flights ... all the tedious and "not fun" parts of traveling. But somebody has got to do it! I painted a small painting that is going to get scraped and redone as soon as I get home from my book club later tonight ... every once in a while this happens and I don't like it!

Balboa Island

Balboa Island, Oil 14" x 11"

My paintings seem to be coming off the easel a lot "brighter" these days. This one is not quite yet done but close ... I wanted to paint something bright and fun. We went to the Laker playoff game last night and it was so painful to watch my team play so poorly. This will hopefully cheer me up! And go Lakers!
