One Day, In the Barn....


Once upon a time, in a lil Red Barn
tucked away just outside a quiet village in Ohio...
There was a very pretty girl...
(much prettier than anything I've drawn)

...and, of course,
a boy
(isn't it always like that?)


"..oh my,..."
she said as she held him and inspected him.
"That will do nicely, I think,"

and the boy was quite happy to hear that...
but of course, he would be wouldn't he?

Indiana has Cardinals


Though none realized that's what that was
so, I called it
"Charlie Brown's Tree"

I think I can paint a person








...just give me a couple of tries at it....
.

Can't see the forest for the trees?


But, what about a forest in the distance?

Old Friends


Indiana is dotted with little forest islands.
In the Fall, they huddle together and show off
their colors, their height, or, maybe....
they're screaming, "TURN the HEAT ON!"

I suppose they never have to think about if....


It will it be a cold winter....
If they have something soft to sleep on....
BUT
Then again, what kind of shampoo/conditioner?
Brush or a comb?
Is that a BBQ grill the farmer brought home?
So, six of one, half a dozen of the other,
and I pick three pairs....

Jeanie sent me some things to paint

Weekend Reading


Too bad most of the readers don't practice.
Heck...
Some of the best practitioners are atheists!
(or something others call atheists, at least)


(go figure on that one, eh?)

crayons


Crayons. Less choices makes it easier.

(camera's still down) RERUNS


Christmas present for Steve
years ago (still had one eye, then)

Another "copy" of sorts


Sticking to the content
but altering it is fair play, too.
This one hangs at church.

something new, something old


I still copy the masters of the past because
I learn something new everytime I do.

Sis took some pix of pix for me....


....painted today...
this one is 11"x14"
.....................................................
last of the smaller canvases painted
(the other day)

I'm starting to like these smaller canvases, too.

Her camera certainly grabs the details sans glare, too, eh?
....................................
here's another

they do look better without the glare.
thanx again, Andrea!

and the one I saw on the way back from Ohio

Since my camera's busted....


Mediocre job...
I like the colors
I like the feeling
It's even the right time of year
but, there's something wrong
(and I'm not talking about the screwy perspective...
it's hanging on a wall in the church...)

this would have been a picture of another barn


That it isn't only says that
my stupid camera is
(evidently)
on strike
(being as it's an American camera)
and so...
Win Some/Lose Some
is still in effect
.
.

.
.
so...why am I still smilin'?
Because I have the Painting
and I'm still painting one
everyday!

Now I just have to keep it up!


Two paintings in as many days.......

Two Brand New Paintings!


Fall Morning in Indiana



Cool Stones

The first thing this morning I saw the beautiful sky
and flew out the door for photos...
The Cool Stones is the cemetery I painted at
to help raise funds for straightenning the stones of
civil war veterans (and others)

Crayons and Oils


purely crayon on textured paper

Actually, I'm thinking I should put a gravel drive in from the barn to the viewer


the thing is, it makes it easier to do a thumbnail first
and then move on to a full size or an oil medium.

Go figure. Sometimes blogger overlords let me post my pix
sometimes they don't.
Well, I don't have the answers, that's for sure.

What a face!
