May 9, 2008 Through the Windshield

4.5x8.5 pastel and watercolor on wallis paper
This morning it rained hard. So I parked at the train station and painted in the opposite direction (from yesterday.) The bottom one is the watercolor underpainting. I think I like it better than the finished,: it's rainier.
Funny thing happened, I sat listening to the radio and wipers going for so long that my battery gave out. Called AAA and went to get a chai. When I returned it started like a dream and I canceled AAA. Chais can cure everything!!!!

March 11, 2008 Bronze Sunset, Mizell's Lumber

8x12, pastel and watercolor on board
Did you ever torment yourself working on a painting that was doomed to fail. Well this was mine. Like a dog with a bone, I have struggled with this small one all day and night. Bite, bite, tear, curse, grumble...argh! Either I should stop doing structures, which drive me crazy, or do more.....?????? For now I guess I will get ready for bed!
On another topic, now, when you want to make a comment you will need to put in one of those little codes. Press comment and you will see. My friend Domi helped me figure this out. I have been receiving a lot of spam comments and this should stop that from happening. Comment away!
Oh, by the way, I get my new car tomorrow. The new art cave will be coming home! Amazing! (Since I paint in my car and use it like a studio/sleep spaceI call it my art cave. This will be cave 4.)

February 28, 2008 Sunset at the Station

8.5x8.5 pastel and watercolor on wallis, $100. plus tax and ship
Last night I was hanging at the station again. (Am I becoming a station junkie?...I'm not even going anywhere!) Well it was cold and windy, but sunset was stellar! Low sun, highlights on the sides of buildings, pink clouds (ooooooh and I love pink clouds!), what more can a girl want?
