Oil, 6" x 6" on canvas panel.

$200 unframed with easel display.

Looking at this painting you might think I was having a "blue day" ... but actually my day has been wonderful. I am in Sacramento with one of my sons preparing for one of two baseball camps that he (oops ... I mean "we") are attending. It's hot but a great summer day ... baseball, hotdogs, apple pie and ... my lexus hybrid!
Hopefully I can find time to paint tomorrow between innings. Who knows as I have no idea what to expect. Other than the fact I am going to wish my son good luck on the baseball field! And hope that we can survive the heat ... it's 100 degrees at 6:00 am in the morning!

Even though the weather was overcast, today officially felt like the first day of summer. Andrew and I arrived last night from Stanford with a car stuffed full of ... well ... "stuff". He is home for ten days and then he will head out of state swim and train all summer. So ... for a short time all three of my boys are home (yeah!) and just having them around the house today left a smile on my face. We started early with pancakes and the World Cup (at 7:00 am) and we will complete the day with a barbecue tonight with the five of us. I feel complete again.

I am amazed everyday as to how my blog has introduced me to so many wonderful places, people and of course ... other artists! Today I spent an hour emailing a wonderful woman in Europe who would like me to paint a painting reminiscent of her favorite summer getaway in England. Yesterday I was asked by a woman in Boston to paint a scene of her hometown. I feel so fortunate to be so busy and I am astounded every morning when I read my inbox. It is hard to believe how much my blog has changed my life.
The greatest thing about a blog is that there are so many wonderful people who offer so many kind words of encouragement. Even on the days when I am frustrated at my easel someone out there will offer a funny story or wonderful advice!
I am blessed to have met so many of you out there in cyberspace. Thank you!
