A Party on My Head

   

   
 I'm about as far away from a party mood as I can be, but that's what I thought of when I finished this. 'There's a party on my head" .
This is mixed media, mostly watercolor, pencil and a bit of pen. 
 I chose to keep the face in pencil , and her clothes simple . 
 Not my style you say? Well you never know. !!!
P.S. I was asked how I came up with this...no, not my idea, but I'd seen something like it a long time ago.. a model with all colorful scarves on her head.. I've always wanted to do it ... I HAD to do it.!!! So I DID !!!! I have just added my second and final  version of this.

Rose of Sharon




 
I could easily say I'm stuck in a 'rut'. But it just so happens that I love painting flowers. It's just that simple... Rose of Sharon is also a simple flower so I've painted them in my white ceramic pot...

Oregon Barn

When I was out west  this time last year, I snapped a photo of this barn as I passed it.. Not my thing to paint barns but I've come out of my comfort zone a bit..That day was spent with my friend Jerry who lives in Oregon... Thanks again Jerry for a wonderful day.

WHOOOPPPEEE DOOO !

It's all fixed ... thanks to a special friend who knows everything. ! 
I really must get all my Picasa photos onto a cd or flash whatever.
Some of my photos are the only record I have of my paintings.
 Everyone should remember if you delete anything in Picasa it will get deleted in your blog ... any changes you make .... well same thing.  It's a happy day ... again.
