Every once in a while I get in a loose, kind of sloppy mood for painting. I have no idea what predicates this ... my mood ... the weather ... the stars? Tee hee. Today was one of those days and I just decided to go for it. I really like the painting and the colors kind of jump off the painting.  I use to comment in my workshops that Cad Orange was my favorite color. But I have grown away from that ... and now I absolutely love the combination of cad orange, alizrin and cad yellow. I could paint all day with these three colors ... Maybe I should. Go out and try it!

This painting really depicts summer to me and now that the 4th is behind us ... it really feels like summer! We are still in Austin at the Volleyball Junior Nationals and so far things are going very well. The weather here is interesting ... certainly different from Southern California. I guess I forgot what real humidity is like!
I did receive some great news this week. Two of my paintings are going to be featured in the Dick Blick Holiday Catalog. They contacted me and I was thrilled. The exposure is simply amazing. Yippee!
