Hello friends: Soon, I'll get those side-ways pictures in my gallery turned upright. I've stopped apologizing for not being computer whizz-y. But I can write and paint ... my feet don't stink, and I love Jesus! So, I guess I'll do .... I'm currently working on 5, 11x14 paintings. I can't paint larger than a 14x18 canvas -- maybe 16x20 because it requires me to stand and lift my arm up high. To enhance my satisfaction with small paintings, I'm experimenting with a technique I've not used before; I don't know where it's going or how they will look, but I'm fully engaged and happy. Because oil paint dries so slowly, I keep several paintings going at once; I can move back and forth. No. It's not confusing! Very stimulating. I'll soon be adding to my gallery -- not these four just yet. I sure enjoy comments and questions. Also, I'll be adding prices in case anyone is interested in purchasing. A person wanted a painting this week, but it was priced out of his comfort zone, and so I offered him the option to buy a 'print' of the painting. He was happy! Gotta' go paint!
