30 Paintings in 30 Days - Number 3

"Gumball"
6" x 6"
oil on pine veneer

Gumball belongs to a past student and friend, Amy, 
who lives in 
eastern Colorado.  
He is a Hampshire hog..the kind that are black with the 
white band around their middle.  
Her son, Mick, named 
this little guy, who I imagine isn't so little anymore.

Last night, as I was pacing back and forth, 
wondering if UPS would
ever show up, 
I knew that if my Jerry's Artarama package arrived,
I would have a 'new lease on life' in the studio
tomorrow. Well, way past 7 PM he showed up! YAY!!

My hope came true...I was feeling pretty good with my
new 'radiant opaques' from Gamblin.
They are quite awesome!

ONE OF THE BIGGEST REASONS I SELL MY WORK
IS TO REPLENISH EXPENSIVE PAINTS, 
BRUSHES, AND CANVASES ~
so I can continue to paint!!

Leslie Saeta is hosting this challenge of 30 in 30, see sidebar for 
a place to leave here and go there.

Thanks for stopping by!

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,...
