Rams

I'm feeling hugely guilty that I haven't been painting more. That is the instigation that a blog has. This was a little slap-up, warm-up painting inspired by a Burridge DVD.

Solo Pear

I'm back from Victoria and I have to get busy painting and signing up for art shows! Morgan has a great apartment right down town!

Lazy Pears

We had a wonderful American thanksgiving complete with turkey dinner and Bruce's brother and sister-in-law. Afterwards we drank Bailey's and played Tabu. It was mint!

Heart Dance

Another quick acrylic. These are fun to do!

Play

Another messy, quick little floral. I do like the looseness of these, but I keep going back and tweaking them. Now that I see this one up on the screen, I see little areas that I would go back and doctor.
One of my aims this winter is to concentrate on composition. I keep falling prey to subject matter without thinking out the design really well. This is how painting wraps around you like a boa constrictor. It's quite merciless really.

On guard

I ran off a bunch of these in the last day or two and will keep posting them until I get something more serious done.

I have company arriving, my brother and sister-in-law. That means I need to do some housecleaning...ugh. We will be celebrating American Thanksgiving. I have lived in the north 30 years now and Thanksgiving in October still feels, wrong, wrong, wrong!

Bird Goddess

I found Nancy Standlee's blog and I am appreciating many things from it. One, I found the link to theradio.com so now I can listen to tunes while I blog. Currently listening to " Have a beer with Duncan" on the Aussie bush band channel. Now a little dijeridu solo.
Two, Nancy has taken workshops with all my fav's, people I want to take workshops with...Robert Burridge, Stephen Quiller and Carla O'Connor.
Three she has all kinds of good links. Oh heck, it's just a good blog.

Here is my attempt at Burridge-like freestyle painting
