Morning Glory

I've been preparing painting boards and other housekeeping stuff in the studio, so I haven't a new painting to post. But, I do want to post my morning glory arbor, which has finally began to bloom. Its late because of the horrible drought and hot weather we have suffered through this summer. I was so happy when it started blooming. It's right outside our bedroom window and it is a glorious sight to wake up to in the monring and enjoy throughout the morning.

This painting is one of the first paintings I did of the Lindsey Street Barn. I went on to ceate a series, most of which have sold. I wanted to capture the barn before it fell pey to an encroaching subdivision. This painting is sold with the frame.

This workshop could be for a woodworker, a welder, a person who like to work on cars, an artist--any number of people who need a place to work.

The comments I get on this painting are "does that barn really look like that?" Yes, it does, only I've added my colors. I was driving down a country road one day and spied it sitting behind a house. It was your usual barn gray, but the more I looked at it, the more it looked back at me. I decided I couldn't pass this one by.

I'm heading to a little town this weekend in the northwestern part of the state (cattle country) to participate in an art show. This is my second year, and I must say, it is great fun. Thousands of people converge on this little western town to take part in the rodeo and all of the other events taking place. It's also a time of family reunions for people who were raised in this area. There is lots of good music, good home cooking, and friendly people. There are many of these little open-sided barns in that part of the state.

The Studio

My friend, Yvonne, who is a wonderful artist, built a new studio several years ago, but her old studio still stands. I painted her old studio and brightened it up a bit. I think it's destined to become a storage shed in the future.

Relief At Last!

Blue Vintage Pump, acrylic on cradled birch panel, 4" x 6"

Our temperatures have plummeted from day after day of 107-110 degrees to a wonderful 77 degrees today-with plenty of much needed rain.  I posted the vintage pump because it is the color of the sky after the storm has passed.
