A Painting for Today


"Algo pasó en el camino hacia el mercado" (Something Happened on the Way to the Market) - oil painting on canvas board, 8" x 10"
This painting is a little out of character for me. I have been working on it for the last three days. Lots of detail in the folk art pieces, which have fascinated me (done from a picture I saved many years ago) for a long time. As I said in my last blog, it has had an unusual pull on my "dreamscapes" at night. I get excited when a painting moves me that much. It must be part of my current psyche or something. Feel free to leave a comment and let me know what you think. Upon researching it more, I guess the little pink figures represent "las damas de la noche" - ladies of the night.
Still snowing here tonight. The giant flakes are snowing "up" as well as "down", guess that's cause it's a blizzard.

I LOVE this one!! It must feel good painting this when it's snowing out.

Art Still GOING On

(I've been really neglectful of this space. Yikes!)   This summer we planted TREES on our property - spent so much time caring for them,...
