Lavender Pansy

Lavender Pansy (16.25" x 8", oil pastel, 2006) is hot off the easel! It's been staring at me, gathering dust, for months now. I finally overcame my artistic inertia and finished it, for better or worse. Whew - now I don't feel like talking about it, except to say it's a relief to have it done, and an even greater relief to find out I can still finish something. On to the next one!

Stormy Weather

I didn't realize how long it's been since I posted anything. It's usually late before I get time on Sunday evening to write; for several weeks in a row we had thunderstorms every time I got ready to post. Then my mother had surgery on June 8th; since that time it seems I need to schedule breathing if I can fit it in. Monday I had a stress test. Ha - I could have told them I had stress out the wazoo: didn't need a test to confirm that. Anyway, my intention is to get going again with this blog. Not sure if even one person cares whether I do or not, but hey - I like the way it looks. It's sort of a work in progress. Stay tuned.
