Beautiful days make for lots of time to work on what we want. Me, on my painting, DH in his auto/workshop that is right next door to the studio.
He is putting a new engine in the Westie (VW Westfalia - one of those camper jobs)
I thought oil painting made your hands impossibly dirty. I forgot how engine grease does a number on them.
Caution...man at work - yay - it's been a long time!
This is what I finished today.
"Leaving Paradise"
9" x 12"
oil on Raymar canvasboard
This was my first demo at my class/workshop last week, had a few more details to finish. DH said I should have put that gremlin out on the wing of the plane from Twilight Zone. Ha. One can make this a train or a plane..I guess. I think it's a train.
I am working some of the days getting my studio cleaned and organized so that after surgery on my ankle next week, I have something that will 'call to me' - to get myself motivated to get up and carry on. I hope the surgery does some good. This pain is about all I can deal with some days.
On a sidenote:
This is "Where I Stood Friday"
It was my dad's 87th birthday. I spent it with him in KC. My brother and his wife came to Dad's for dinner Friday night.

Gorgeous expression, she really seems to be sorry for leaving..love the colors !
Thank you Jane, and thanks for stopping by. I have to figure out how to translate your blog so I can read your posts. I think she has mixed feelings about leaving.
Lovely painting, and done on demand! You are good! Good luck with the surgery, I sure hope it helps.
Pattie - what a great painting - you can just imagine the thoughts that are going on in her mind!
Best wishes with the surgery on your ankle - I hope all goes well.
