Thank you Betty of Betty Beads for this lovely little award!!

It's the end of the week again.

Here are a couple more paintings I did this week! It's been a beautiful day with temps in the high 60's and a gentle breeze. A great day to clean out all the birdhouses I painted, and put on fence posts around the yard last year. Many birds nested in them so we are hoping they come back. What surprised me most was having 3 different sets of Eastern Bluebirds cuz we hadn't seen many around here. One set built a nest in the bluebird house on the rail of our front deck. I did see a field of Robins last week which to me signifies Spring is just around the corner! LOL
Tomorrow we will probably move the raised beds from out front to the back yard where I'll have better access to them, and instead of 3 we'll soon have 6. Just think of all the fresh veggies we'll have all summer with some to share, and some to can!!!

The date is set, I'll be leaving out of Dulles Airport destine for GA...to visit my sister, Mary for a whole week. Can't wait either!!

Do have a wonderful blessed weekend, and remember to set your clocks forward tomorrow night!!!
Spring Forward and Fall Backwards that's the only way I can remember..eheheheh!!!

I'd love to hear your comments on these!

These are a few painting I've done this week, and for many you've probably seen them in one of my Newtworks or on flickr. Even so I was wondering what you thought about them, and don't be bashful, I can take it!!! I also started doodling cuz you can do that like journaling, anywhere, while watching TV or even riding in a car!
I love doing mixed media collage, but I think my first love is doing landscapes. I'm working on two night scenes...will post them over the weekend...speaking of the weekend, sure hope you have a great one, we plan to just stay close to home cuz it's supposed to snow...Yep, it's in the 60's today, and and some showers!!! Share with me what you are working on. I love seeing all your art, and if I'm not a friend on your flickr please let me know so I can go take a peek...
Blessings and stay safe!!!

Gee it's amazing....

It's amazing how I can become addicted to so many different mediums of art...In the past 4 days I've created oh about 26 little ACEO/ATCs done by doodling! Did I say I was addicted??? hehehehe!! What out cuz the minute you start you can't stop. I finally had to put them away and got out a 16X20 canvas already prepped with Gesso. Thinking since I sold one of my landscape paintings last week I'd create another not the same, but with water...love painting sky, clouds and WATER..My husband came in and said, now that's what I call a painting..ehehehe!!! He just doesn't get Mixed Media collage things at all. Course he still things computers were the worst thing ever created. Yep, I'm married to a guy who thinks it's still the 50's hehehe!! All kidding aside, he really likes much of what I've created and doesn't have a problem with me taking up what was the dining room as my studio. There's a nice window infront of my table and everything is at my fingertips too. Gee, I was thinking this morning how much my life has changed since I started painting. When I retired I tried my hand at making jewelry and still love the feeling of creating something that's unique and one of a kind, but painting...well it's really my passion (other than my hubby and family) heheh!! I thought I'd post some pictures of my little (messy) studio then the newest painting I just finished... It's still early so I'm gonna go back and paint another landscape...I sure hope you all are having a great Saturday...Have a wonderful Sunday and remember hug someone close to you today...and tomorrow and and and...just think about all the hugs you'll get back!!! Blessings!!!
