trees

Good morning. Wet morning. Stormy morning. I have a huge picture window to my left, as i sit at the desk and type, or paint. I absolutely love big windows. My house if full of them! Right now it's still dark out, and I can barely see the outline of the neighbor's oak tree that spills over to our back yard. And I can hear the rain hitting the concrete patio. I understand we had quite a good rain last night...actually witnessed some lightning before I snoozed. I'm very thankful for the rain, and I'm sure my new little veggie plants are also! I can't get enough of outdoors. Maybe that's why I like to paint "outdoors" indoors! Have a beautiful day!

Happy Friday the 13th y'all! Yes, I said "y'all"...at the moment i believe that's only myself and Denise, but when there's two or more in Texas, it's y'all...lol...speaking of Texas, I'm posting a pic of a painting I did from a pic of a beautiful, Houston sunset...taken by my son, Bobby. Viewing the painting, one might think the subject was the tree...and after painting 33,001 leaves,(no, I didn't count, but I wish I had...but that's a whole nother story...(another Texas saying))...anyway, (A.D.D. kicks in frequently, so be mindful)...this painting hangs in my dining room. I believe it looks ok there...but not perfect. Enjoy. And enjoy the day.

getting started

I'm very new at this so my first post is going to be very brief. At the suggestion of my friend, Denise, I have started this blog to possibly jump-start my painting business...among other things...i am self diagnosed as A.D.D. so my subjects will not always pertain to painting, although, as the name suggests...I am an artist. As an artist, I appreciate art in almost every form, but my chosen medium at present is acrylic painting. As i get more familiar with blogging, I will be posting some pics of my work. But, as for now, I am exhausted just trying to uncomplicate the matters of using the internet, as i am
extremely technologically challenged. So, ttfn : )
