Where's the Ice Cream?

























I just finished this little 11" x 14" oil painting tonight and I named it, "Where's the Ice Cream?". With the brightly colored gift bag it's obviously someones birthday and birthday's = ice cream and cake to me, right? I love ice cream and I have been trying very hard to limit my intake this summer but I occasionally fall of the wagon. I'm craving it now, where's the ice cream!

Micro Mini Cars









My husband, Ron, is a real car buff and he had been in contact with a Mini Micro Car group that was driving from Santa Monica, CA all the way to Chicago on old Route 66 in their tiny little cars (no a/c I might add!). We met them in Bricktown this past Sunday while they were eating Mexican food. They had some adventures to tell! I hope they all make it safely to Chicago!

Two New Paintings

I sold the 8 x 10 painting that I did of this barn so I wanted to have a larger version for myself. This painting is on a 16" x 20" canvas board so I had room to add the squirrel on the gate. This painting hasn't told me it's name yet so it's still 'untitled' at this moment.

I just finished this painting today and I haven't quite decided what to think about it. I really, really need to learn how to paint still-life's!!! Oh wait, that's why I've signed up for a still-life workshop in October!
