Click here to bid 6" x 6" Oil on Panel It's so good to be home! Nothing like painting in your own space......Of course no fresh fruit in the house, but you can always paint a vegetable. I'm still trying to find the right spot to shoot the photograph......I think I'm going to have to try to make a light box.......

I made it back to Florida, my mother is doing better.....it will take some time to get over the surgery......as we get older our bodies don't heal quite as fast. I have one more class this week at the Beach Art Center. My plan today is to get things back in order, so I can start getting the new web site www.adailypaintersgallery.com up and running. This will be a group web site with a few painting friends. I will post more on this later in the week.

6x6 on Gesso Board I finished this yesterday evening......I don't know about these water mixable oils!!!! Of course I don't have cadmium red......It's a about traveling on airplanes, so I want to get used to them...they are so much easier to clean up, plus the turp thing is not healthy~!

The workshop was great fun!! Meet new friends, and got to see a few old ones. Haven't had much time to paint, but hope to get a few in this week.

Click here to bid 6x6 Oil on Gesso Board I had fun with this one! Painted it in my Wednesday Class with Judy & Larry Pumfrey oil Class at Indian Rocks Beach Art Center. I leave today for Minnesota to teach a 3 day workshop in watercolors......of course I'm taking my "New Water Soluble Oils". I also will be visiting my Mother in West Virginia......she's recovering from surgery. This will be my week to work on my new website "A Daily Painters Gallery". I also will be working on my new"eBay Store" where I will be posting my small daily paintings for sale! Check back for an update!105

6x6 Oil on Gesso Board This was painted from a photograph that I took a couple of weeks ago. It was one of those bright perfect spring days in Florida. 104

6 x 6 Oil on Canvas I did this one while set up at the Art Market a couple of weeks ago. The wind blew it into the dirt!! So I had to scrape it, let it dry and re paint.....I still need to work on taking the photographs, this one really has great color.....I have a light box in Ohio, so I think I'm going to have to make one here!!
